FC - Season 23

[Davros]

Perfect. Despite heading for a draw myself, the only oppo with a chance of catching me seem to have forgotten to set a second innings declaration, and will only draw themselves. Promotion assured with a game still to play (but it's vs bottom places, so probably was anyway... might have to try and set some batting records or something to get the three days gates)

 

[blues_r_best]

Think I secured promotion in FC too, beating second place by an innings to go 56 points clear.

Up to IV we go.

Nice one you two and Toddy your ranking will be great next season. Gambero folded 12 runs short of giving me a realistic crack at 2nd next week. Unless a monster denotes/promotes I WILL go up next season.

Either way yesterday's win sees me 3rd and breaking the #200 barrier on Saturday.

 

[Napster]

Current state of play in FC:

1. Napster's XI 9 8 1 0 0 23 27 162
2. Screeb C.C.C. 9 8 1 0 0 23 27 162

But who's playing the bot next week?
:thumbsup:

 

[MrB]

A meaningless game that we will stretch to three days however the big news was this:

02/10/2012 Played a First Class match (8318322) and received £953,460 in gate receipts.

Boom!

 

[Napster]

It's a good start

End of Over 8 (Maiden). Hoggard's Heroes: 0-4, runrate=0.00
Overs left today: 102
Fisher 4-4-0-2
Potter* 0 (24 balls)
Jenkins 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Knowles c. Arrowsmith b. Fisher 0 (FOW: 0/4)

 

[* ORM *]

Low scoring dead rubber for me and I'll finish 3rd. team finishing 2nd went bot this week. I'm thinking it's only the team relegating that I'll need to worry about.

[BrettieAngell]

Walk over against the bottom team who have lost every game. Will more than likely finish 4th, would have taken that at the start of the season onwards and upwards!

 

[Napster]

Sadly Screeb have gone bot.

If you wanted a one day win why didn't you declare at 360?

Because I forgot to set orders. I didn't want one, but it would have been nice.

You're at home to a bot, should have made it last 3 days for the gate receipts! Plus don't forget to get friendlies sorted, worth £10k a pop. I will try to generate some off season friendlies for you.....

Home to a bot, but wanted the title, so left as is.

Of course, cheers.

 

[Davros]

hmm, didnt quite make the 3 days, despite setting Bat total to 800... anyone fancy a friendly tomorrow!

P.s - B, what is my window like for setting a friendly for tomorrow?

P.s - Napper - your groundsman does not look like a Maqsood Siyabulela!

 

[Napster]

P.s - Napper - your groundsman does not look like a Maqsood Siyabulela!

I know. He converted to Islam in the 2009 season

 

[Davros]

I know. He converted to Islam in the 2009 season

Maqsood is a feeble Groundsman with proficient experience. In his spare time, he likes brewing beer.

It's fair to say the conversion is going slowly!

 

[Napster]

It's fair to say the conversion is going slowly!

Hahaha. Good point. :hilarious:

 

[MrB]

Naps, I've you should just challenge your franchise to a load of home friendlies on whatever dates you have free, that way both teams benefit from the gate receipts!

Davros, you have from the time the matches process (about half 6) until half 6 the following morning (so now).
