Match Thread - Season 27

Away to a team ranked 59 in England! :thumbdown:
Ouch, that's harsh for round 1! Bot away for the seniors, bot at home for the franchise.

Seniors got their biggest prize money payout, £2.35m.
 
I won!! :stunned:

Nice work! Home game next for me which helps the finances.
 
Seems little point having separate threads these days.

FC begins today and we're playing last season's champs LG. With Bendigo carrying a £2m+ wagebill the rest of us are playing for 2nd. LG still have two NTs so have me outgunned. Bit of a disaster dropping to 40-3 but we've recovered a bit. Hopefully we can at least get a batting point on the board. Expecting to lose though.

End of Over 38 (5 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 111-4, runrate=2.92

Ayton 13-5-27-1

BOT bashing in our 1st season in level VIII. It will get tougher from here on in...

BATTY SHRIMPERS II v bibbers beasts

BATTY SHRIMPERS II won the toss and elected to bat.

We managed to recover but fell annoying short of a second batting point. Next two partnerships are vital to the course of the game. If we can nab them cheaply we should have a first innings lead with sun today and PCH tomorrow. If they build some runs (as our middle order did after being 34-3 yesterday) we could find ourselves having to defend a draw in the bowling conditions. Like us they've loaded the middle order with their best bats so could be a tough day.

Well set for day 3 with PCH on an uneven. Ever seen a partnership more dominated between two equally skilled players? Choles has scored all 33 runs in the partnership, Brennan hasn't scored for 12 overs!

End of Over 57 (1 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 166-4, runrate=2.91 (1st Inn: 239-10)

Fell frustratingly short of the win. We were too slow in the morning and didn't give ourselves enough overs, though too many more may have allowed them to chase so all a case of what if. Frustrating that in PCH on an uneven day 3 pitch we couldn't bowl them out as quickly as we did in the sun.

End of Over 80 (2 runs). Los Galactico: 203-6, runrate=2.54 (1st Inn: 203-10)
Trail by 53 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 239-10 & 220-8 dec)

Today we play the Undutchables for the first time competitively. With home games in the cup and FC it's important we get a win to get the members mood up.
 
Great day for me yesterday, in good shape to pick up a first league win of the season.

Got the win after a bit of a late scare losing 5 wickets chasing a target of 75!
 
Through in the cup and another easy home tie next. Same for franchise, happy days.
 
Lost in the Cup, really shouldn't have done though going by the ratings!
