On a slight unrealted note, Gibbons has been a bada$$ in T20s for Mooo this season.

I was pondering if I should reply as I am unsure why you say this , every time i check stats etc two of your players come up every time . Jamil Gul and Mike Warfield . Both having really exceptional seasons in CWC and Warfield matching that in League . Doesn't seem that Gibbons have had a long season , however with the 2 games he has played doing incredible begging the question around selection

What an utterly peculiar T20 innings from TNTs

Its just a case of having lost all the top order batsmen for basically nothing....

But the absolute randomness of the stumped 'me' is easily observed when you play games on the same day with the same team. Only having 12 players means that variation between the TNT teams is very little regardless of format. Scoring 280 in the SOD (unexpectedly high), then 180 in the Dev game (Okay.. but a touch low) and then an absolute blowout in the T20... same batsmen, same pitch... same day. I am aware its not quite the same on the PP's side but its just illustrates much of the coin toss nature particularly when the team is not fully developed.

Hehe, our best batsman in T20s this season. He made valuable match-winning contributions

The main has sent a whole lot of OD friendly requests about. Looking to get back to regular friendlies!

Looking forward to it.

Flat pitch at the 5DNOL stadium today. Should have elected to bat first. We opted to bowl and brought in Rockall to reinforce the attack, backing ourselves to chase rather than attempt to set a score. But we've been taken for 140 in the first 20 overs. Going to be a 350 chase, if not 400 at this rate. Sigh.

I have long given up to commentate on my games when its in the top leagues , the stress levels are beyond nail biting . You have seemed to turned that game a little 210 for 5 in 39 . Chasing was probably the right call there as 310 or 320 seems par , much easier to chase those than set them up in stumped . However it looks like you will be chasing around 260 to 270 .

never rule out a sting in the tail. Some healthy batting numbers in that Pudbon CC lower order, certainly better than our's!

Sampath has been phenomenal, Taufeeq bowled better than his numbers suggest. Rest of the attack doesn't have much going for it. Danial Ahsan has snuck in two cheap overs, if he can get through one more quietly I'll consider it a success.

Your chasing 262 so I was right on the money , should be a comfortable chase however its stumped . In my game , 5th time this season chasing over 300 . 319 , in this game i believe that's 40 to much . However was able to chase down over that 3 times this season . Fun times i guess .

This chase is touch and go atm

Ohhh.

The match is in your hands to lose from this position. 32 runs to get in 10 overs.

 

[cnerd123]

Got it done comfortably in the end, despite shaky starts to both innings!

All eyes on FHK now to see if they can keep their promotion hopes alive as well.

I think last time we had a run to the top we peaked at 11, so yippee! Sneak past Krypto. I imagine our stay in the top 10 won't be long at all, however: we've got three very tough matches coming up in the Cup, Dev, and OD. Bask in the brief glory.

Moooo chased down 293 today in front of a packed home crowd.

Playing against Team Potter; a team much more superior than ours...and yet the approach to the target was nothing short of a masterclass.

Hogg and James put on 147 in 30 overs...which meant that almost the same was needed in 20 overs.
The old, "Double your score after 30 overs" lol

Anyways, James made 66 off 81, Hogg made a century (110 off 127)...Uzair spanked a swashbuckling 62* off 46...but the momentum of the chase was sparked by Meyiwa who came in at number 4 and made 21 in 7 balls. He fell when the score was 231...we got to the target in the next 5.3 overs.

Top of the table. The youths are stepping up.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

In CWC, wins for both of my teams.

GG have a crazy 1-2-3 in Sutherland, Bram, and Branning.

Something tells me that they are like RCB. Too many eccentrics at the top of the order.

 

[ataraxia]

Wins for both AX teams too, against Jarquis. Rolled Ashgrove despite a valiant Hlengwa 15 (10), before Butler and Winton made fun of the target. In the other game, Felix O'Callaghan gunned 76* (38) to steal the 5th point.

Standings, with 8 matches to come:



Top six go through, yes? Looks like there'll be a bit of a squabble at nos. 4–9 then.
