CW FTP Championship II

[Flying V]

Haha yeah was ****ting it facing up to a national team fast bowler but apparently my players didn't feel the same way.

But, despite posting a total that much exceeded my expectations I highly doubt we'll be able to defend it 'cause batting is my strong point and I'm never comfortable unless we post something daft like 340 because our bowling is pants.

So pants that:

0.1 W Coley to Gama Pinto : The straight yorker did the job and the timber goes flying.
B. Gama Pinto b. W. Coley 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
0.1 wd Coley to Gama Pinto : 1 wide, down the leg side. Poor delivery.
That ends the innings of Dai-Gurren Brigade. Swamibapa CC will have a target of 289 to chase.

Pity he went to bed.

[EARLOBE]

The run rate has picked up a fair bit the last few overs, I don't like my chances.

[Samuel_Vimes]

Yeah, would be fuming if I lost from here. Well ahead of your score at same time. Weeks has been surprisingly good for me, won me a league game from an impossible position with a 100 at four and now exquisite support of Hatton.

[EARLOBE]

Good match, congrats. So close to 100k.

End of over 49 (7 runs) - Dynamo Morpork(264-5) RR 5.39
J. Hatton 66 (56b) , S. Weeks 58 (63b) , R. Illman 9.4-0-51-1
48.4 1 Illman to Weeks : Tickled down to fine leg where the ball is collected and returned to Frost.

And that's that. Close match. If Hatton had been held I fear this would have gone the other way.

about the ratings, if the training update had been held later it would have been 100. Still, it's Moylan-boosted.

Hmm another poor soul living in the north east. Rather them than me in Middlesbrough, I only have to visit and drive through it and that's bad enough.

Safi Souza I think only got into the NT cos of his fast yorkers and his captaincy.

Too many early wickets

Reckon BEST Indies got shafted tbh. You don't go from being 2/211 off 30 overs to being all out for 329. They lost 8/118 on a flat pitch, fair enough my spinners bowled 20 off the those overs, but still stupid. Happy with the win, but didn't deserve it.

Na, not a good enough middle order tbh. Great game though, hopfully more like this to come.

Did you see the rating for their spinner, he was the weakest bowler in their XI. It wouldn't surprise me if the next best spinner is like two level below the 4th seamer or something. I'm sure the windy conditions helped my spinners, but the fact that they are reliable would have made more of a difference. If I played my 3rd spinner ahead of Ashok I probably would have lost, due to poor death bowling.

Yeah the spinner I played is only ord-res wit res bat. The next best after that is ord-ave

End of over 26 (7 runs) - Swamibapa CC(126-5). 163 runs required from 24 overs. RR 4.85 RRR 6.79
B. Saitoti 8 (15b) , J. Odhiambo 1 (1b) , V. Campbell 8-0-46-1

Utterly shambolic from my batsmen.

End of over 31 (13 runs) - Central Districts(144-5). 76 runs required from 19 overs. RR 4.65 RRR 4.00
M. Keightley 19 (17b) , N. Miller 1 (18b) , A. McLean 6-0-27-1

Reasonable chase on here against f00lins. Keightley is ordinary bat but has elite power, should itstl.
