Match Thread - Season 31

Seniors home to a bot which is most welcome. Franchise home to a team ranked 70th, should win but not an ideal start.
 
Can't see the Promotion Tables on Sledging. Anyone know where they are hidden??

Don't worry, I've found them now.

FC, looks like I could go straight through. 2 BOTS in there, and I reckon I'm stronger than the other 3 teams.

OD - Doesn't seem the toughest IV I could have promoted into...

Edit - Looks like I've been promoted into a different FC than expected. Might be a bit tougher....

Good start in my 1st game at level VII.

BATTY SHRIMPERS II v Old Graftonians

Old Graftonians won the toss and elected to bat.
Pitch: cracked

End of Over 3 (2 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS II: 8-0, runrate=2.67
Trail by 185 runs. (Old Graftonians 193-10)
Overs remaining today: 17
Schutte 2-1-2-0
Marriott* 4 (3 balls)
Cilvers 4 (15 balls)

Both sides won their Cup games, but the draw wasn't overly kind.

Main team at home to the side ranked #501, so very similar team, and will need to GFI.

Franchise drawn against the side ranked #12, so absolutely no chance.
 
Two day win for the seniors (annoyingly won it with two balls left in the day stopping me from getting day 3 receipts!). Got a tough II this season with lots of familiar names in it.

Franchise look to be grinding out a draw in their first match in II. Going to be tough to stay up.
 
The annoyance of a double home week to start with, gates are so low!
 
Easy win for the seniors in FC, looks like a two horse race between us and Park Avenue for promotion, we play them in the double header week. Looks like a defeat for the franchise, 4th at best for them.

Both through in the cup and both should make Round 4.
 
Still in the Cup tough looking away game in the next round. Struggling in my FC game at the moment, hoping to bat out for a draw but will have to do alot better than the 100 I was bowled out for in the first innings!
 
3/3 for both teams in BT20. Seniors have a real chance of the title this season. Franchise bowled out our main rivals for 92 so a good sign for promotion.
 
Just declared, took a bit longer than required to get to our declaration target, not helped by someone batting 54 balls for 0 before getting out :sad:

Will be a good one to win....

BATTY SHRIMPERS II v Nudge and Nurdlers

BATTY SHRIMPERS II have resumed their innings.
Pitch: uneven/cracked
The players are off the field for the change of innings.

End of Over 86 (2 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS II: 276-5, runrate=3.21 (1st Inn: 231-10)
Lead by 292 runs. (Nudge and Nurdlers 215-10)
Overs remaining today: 94
Wilberforce 21-8-35-2

Seniors are 13 out of 13 this season after an innings win in FC, though we nearly blew it in the cup against a much weaker team. They had a £7k WK score 62, an 18yo score 43no and a 17yo add 20 against my full bowling attack (albeit on a TIE), that after they had us 7-3 with an £11k bowler ripping through my top order. We ended up winning by 9 runs :blush:

Franchise will be 11-1-1 once they wrap up this week's FC game. Drew a bot at home which was handy for Round 4 and should hopefully make it through again.
 
Looking like a draw, although a couple of quick wickets would change that.

My franchise is having a mare, had my oppo at 18-3 and 134-6 and I've ended up here. We're fairly evenly matched wage wise other than their one high waged all rounder who is knackered.
