Match Thread - Season 29

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Main team draw a BOT at Home :thumbsup:

Franchise away to a team that they should beat :unsure:

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

I've been stitched up for the 3rd season in a row with a top#25 team in England!

Just the 1 game for us again.

 

[BrettieAngell]

BOT away :thumbdown:

 

[MrB]

I don't even want to talk about it. #1 in England and likely to go out in Round 1! :'(

With 2,000 bots the odds of that were pretty long!

 

[* ORM *]

Franchise out. Original team should win. I think my franchise may now be stronger. Will get some friendlies going to see how close they are

 

[MrB]

Making a decent fist of it against their monster team, need to remove this last partnership. Still have to face their scary bowling lineup.

End of Over 35: 135-6, runrate=3.86
Choles 6-1-15-2
Clingan* 15 (17 balls)
Tangai 13 (25 balls)
Last Wicket: van Zy c. Jaffar b. Wilkshire 9 (FOW: 113/6)

 

[MrB]

Through despite that partnership putting on 70 despite the batsmen being strong and proficient!

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

#911 in England
#3970 in the World

finally made the top 1000 :blush:

 

[BrettieAngell]

Got a walkover at home in the 2nd round of the cup.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Both won. Main team away to a BOT.

Franchise Home to a BOT (should we win, it would equal our 2nd best run in the comp :smile:)

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Lost as expected :'(

 

[* ORM *]

Schoolboy default orders error for FC not an ideal start but no problems for my franchise. Looking to promote in both and apar from receipts shouldnt suffer too much. My franchise is ranked higher but let's see after first week of BT20. Franchise out of cup. Wasn't any point me even trying. Winnable game for first

 

[MrB]

FC championship is a bitch this season with three teams all bumping their wagebills to chase honours. Next season may be better but every chance I won't be there. Got a chance of a draw this week though.

Easy opening game for the franchise in level IV, not scouted the rest of the league yet.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We're going to beat that team that relegated into our div, looks like Level VII FC next season :thumbsup:

[MrB]

Lost my NT bat to the final ball of the day and probably staring at defeat after the weather turned from sunny to PCH today :sad:

Probably need to bat for 50+ overs today. Won't see them as I'll be in the air.

[BrettieAngell]

Easy start in FC won in 2 days.

First OD game tomorrow is against #75 in England!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Was 204-2 needing another 23 runs to win.

Am now 214-7 and heading to defeat:sad::'(

Edit: make that 214-8 and my last player with any batting gone.

 

[MrB]

Having lost my best bat with the last ball of day 2 I managed to lose my second best with the first of day 3 :facepalm:

Going to be a long hard season. At least relegation in OD gives us a bit of relief there, should be top two.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Both sides through in the Cup.

Main team drew a BOT at home. :thumbsup: So we'll be in round 4 for the 1st time ever.

Franchise away to the side ranked #278 (we're #330), but we've got a good chance.

 

[MrB]

I'll have you next round please :smile:

Comfy win for the seniors, a decent cup run will justify bringing in the extra bodies to get through that first round game. Not an easy game next but we should win, especially as their PFL is already shot.

Franchise scraped through, gambled on a PAN and almost regretted it when our last partnership went into the last ten and only scored 9 runs off the first five but fortuately they clicked and we made it with an over to spare. Bot away next so another round but no money.
