[The General]

8 rested and playing the 35th best side in Sarf Africa, but like me, appears to be playing a weakened side!

Welcome to General Stars CG for the match between General Stars and The Streets CC.

We can tell you that General Stars won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and humid day.



End of Over 20: 222-1, runrate=11.10
Sandys 4-0-45-0
Bayliss* 125 (71 balls)
Browne 12 (6 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamb b. Albrecht 71 (FOW: 202/1)

End of Over 10: 68-8, runrate=6.80, reqrunrate=15.50 (222-1)
Khotsofalang 2-0-11-2
Mcferran* 7 (6 balls)
Sandys 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Spruyt c. Zamora b. Khotsofalang 11 (FOW: 68/8)

That includes 5 dropped catches!!

 

[Napster]

Rested 9 of my first team, and only just lost....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Lost by 10 runs in the end, would probably have won if Lindop had played. Mrs BB won by 7 wickets...

 

[The General]

Nice easy win which is a bit of a bonus!

 

[* ORM *]

Mckie Faces 87 of the 120 balls ! Scoring only 101 no on my dusty out of 127 for 3. Still good enough for a 12 run win.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Mrs BB has wrapped up a 10 wicket win already, bowling her oppo out for 27, and knocking the runs off in 2.4 overs for a +9.15 RR hike.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile my oppo scored 143/4 after being 12/4.....

 

[Napster]

they knocked off 114 all out, but I can see a glitch in the latest scorecard, and I've won already.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

On course for a win.

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Feydkyn Gunners

BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Cracked

End of Over 6: 75-1, runrate=12.50, reqrunrate=4.93 (143-4)
Katleho 3-0-43-0
Pollock* 32 (12 balls)
Downing 43 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: Nagendranath c. Mears b. Elliot 0 (FOW: 0/1)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Feydkyn Gunners

BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Cracked
And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 5 wickets.
Feydkyn Gunners 143-4
BATTY SHRIMPERS 145-5

 

[Napster]

won by a lot. nice ratings as well. Bot tomorrow, then tough OD Friday.

 

[* ORM *]

Surprisingly won today and my opp has every right to be miffed. Currently playing full strength on the basis that forthcoming fixtures and bots will enable me to rest some players. I may now rest some tomorrow as 2 wins is one more than I expected this week.

 

[The General]

Lost today with lots rested.

MrB won again !

 

[SUFC_Al]

PFL hits seem to be adjusted for this season?

Resting my bowlers mainly; won one and lost one. I'm not the only one in my league to rest players in BT20 this season.

 

[* ORM *]

Seems to me it's all about bigger squads. Realistically only 15 of my 20 are good enough for the three leagues I'm in. That will increase next season with the luxury of a bot in FC and 2 in OD to help me this season. I like the PFL hits though

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

PFL hits seem to be tough on bowlers, might have to go back to TIE'ing.

Also beware the change in times if you tend to put your orders in at the last minute.....

 

[* ORM *]

Ha ha. Make that 3 wins out of three in Div IV. Rested some today, behind the curve on bowling and WELL behind the curve on batting ratings. In my eyes conclusive proof that fitness ratings has a bigger impact on result. I should now stay in this division comfortably. Look forward to Saturdays ratings. Possible top 300/1000 for first time ever.

 

[The General]

Another day of rest and another loss!

 

[Napster]

bot bashing with my ressies.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Tie'd and lost by 8 wickets.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Mrs BB won by 8 runs to maintain her 100% record in all competitions.
