Play-Offs

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Masonic Handshake CC

We play the side that finished 2 spots below the line. He lost 3 OD games this season, and we should have a bit too much for him, as he has 4 players in his side that are Superb at best. PFL for the bowlers is still a problem, but better than last week, wheras all the pure batters are now back to Sublime. If we bat like we did last week we'll win.

Southend v Eleven Golden Vampires

A very tough play-off game to be played on a cracked pitch under PC+H conditions. Will probably be the toss that decides it. They have one Pakistan national batsman in at 3, but the rest are no better than my lot, so we shall see.


EDIT: Lost the toss but their manager messaged me saying he's rested the Pakistan player for the WC. Result.

Good toss to win, and we've cleaned out a jub early on...

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Masonic Handshake CC

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 3: 6-1, runrate=2.00
Singh 2-1-5-0
Courts* 3 (3 balls)
Ellington 3 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Cadette c. Evelyn b. Lindop 0 (FOW: 1/1)

Good luck everyone.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Cheers Naps.

We're doing OK. For some reason he has a 58k wage pure bat stuck at 6, after that we're into comps, so a couple more wickets and we should be OK.

Oppo hasn't logged in since Monday. Consequently he left a 93k wage AR, a 39k wage bolwer, and a 50k wage bat on the sidelines. We've got to face a Superb and 2 comps...

Good work, don't want to slum with the unwashed in Level III......

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Muse wins as well, giving us 6 teams in Level II (including Mrs BB).

The guy I work with (Ex SZ cupper Jumping Jews of Jerusalem) has also been promoted today to level IV

Level IV where it's really at.

Relieved to have won that. The World Cup saved me.
