OD - Season 25

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Bashed a BOT this morning. Going to finish 2nd in the league, but not unhappy as it will put me in a P/O and then I can see what I'd be going into...

Franchise BOT bashing as well today. A win will see them promoted barring a freak set of results.

 

[Napster]

loads of bot bashing.

 

[MrB]

We lost but 2nd lost as well so we remain top. More decisions to be made, definitely want FC promotion this season but both might be painful!

Won again to stay second in 3rd toughest III. Next up decides whether I finish 2nd or 3rd. Was expecting 5th at start of season. Most of this achieved without Blinkhorn who will retire at end of season having been one of my first signings. Will play him in the last week of season. BOT FC and then the OD as a last farewell.

Another win yesterday guarantees 2nd. Very happy with that. Initial target was to avoid auto relegation.

 

[MrB]

Went with a TIE to try to get to 2nd and still somehow won! 3rd in the promotion table, could yet bin the play off.

 

[Napster]

Big game for the franchise boys. A win takes us into III.

Top v us (2nd). 12 wins one loss for both of us. Their loss was against us.

 

[MrB]

A play off or maybe auto if we win. Like last week I've gone with TIE to try to avoid it but last week's oppo did the same and I fear this week's may have too as we're flying along!

[BrettieAngell]

Won with 5 balls to spare to finish the season with a 100% record and I don't have a play-off to contend with so I'm promoted! :happy::happy::happy:

 

[MrB]

Congrats! I successfully lost and avoided promotion :smile:

Camper !!!!!

 

[MrB]

Yep, with three wagebills of £2m+ in level I I'm happy to pitch my tent at the moment......

 

[Napster]

*******s - lost by one run after I got them all out for 220.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Won to finish 2nd. Now have to throw a P/O against a BOT as I don't want to promote just yet...

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

P/O against a BOT today, which we really need to lose.

All the bowlers are at the top of the order and set to V. Def. All the batters are set to bowl as V. Att, and we're on a TIE. Can't do much else...

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Plane seems to be working so far.

Poulton Cricket Club won the toss and elected to bat.

Plane seems to be working so far.

Going flying or trimming some wood? Reminds me of an old joke, for Heather Mills birthday Paul McCartney bought her a plane. For her other leg he got her a razor.

Anyway, you appear to be a dirty camper - says me who avoided a play off in OD, deliberately relegated my franchise and regrets promoting in FC.....
