Buggeration

End of Over 18: 131-10, runrate=7.28
Cliffe 3-0-32-2
Sutherland* 76 (49 balls)



17.1 W Cliffe to Nguyen-lee
Nguyen-lee's gone! Fast and straight, Nguyen-lee closed the face of the bat a touch early trying to work it to the on side. It's gone straight up in the air and Marsden settles under the catch.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

YB in a spot of bother in his group decider

The players are off the field for the break between innings.

End of Over 19: 90-10, runrate=4.74
Bowler 3-0-17-4
Crawford* 58 (60 balls)

 

[MrB]

Shouldn't be a problem. Mushy gave away half our runs! When the right player comes up on the list he will probably be sold.

End of Over 19: 87-10, runrate=4.58
Sutherland 3-0-9-4
Charl* 0 (6 balls)

Now I'll just be hoping to not draw Ladbrokes in the knockout round again!

 

[blues_r_best]

When the right player comes up on the list he will probably be sold.

Plummer?

End of Over 20: 194-1, runrate=9.70
Plummer 4-0-44-0
Speed* 10 (8 balls)
Poole 99 (63 balls)

Last Wicket: Karthikeyan c. Plummer b. Ryan 78 (FOW: 163/1)

 

[MrB]

Interesting prospect actually....

Any thoughts on what I should replace Mushy with? I was considering running with London (mediocre/proficient) as a defensive spinner next seaosn to ride out the dead overs when you tend not to get too much action anyway and investing the money fully in a batsman. Do you think that's wise in III?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Don't you just love Battrick ! Mrs BB gave one of her star bats a game today (Remarkable / Exceptional), and he's been dismissed 1st ball by a Fatigued Strong / Strong ! Luckily it's not going to affect the result in any way.

I don't think the Proficient Cons will be enough to out-weigh the Mediocre Primary and would imagine he'll get tonked all round the park in Level III. I've played Comp / Comps in IV and they hardly ever do very well.

 

[The General]

Well i lost the toss and had to bat first and managed this ...

End of Over 20: 235-1, runrate=11.75
Eade 4-0-53-1
Philip* 140 (67 balls)
Phillips 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Bayliss b. Eade 85 (FOW: 235/1)


19.6 W Eade to Bayliss
Played all over that - silly boy! I hope he likes breakfast cereals, particularly the 'Cheerio' variety because that's the chant he's now getting from the crowd.

Great knock from Philip. Certainly alot of 4's and 6's there! Bayliss's knock came off 53 balls.

And so to the bowling ...

They are 59-3! Very poor stuff from Jackman and Guy and only have Tomlinson and Khotosolang ( with Akram ) as the bowlers! But to be honest, its all irrelevant as i will win the group!

You say that but he has averaged 15 this season, he has strong stamina which makes a difference and one thing I always notice is that no matter how good all 5 of your bowlers are, one of them always seems to end up getting tonked anyway.

Other option of course is to buy that guy Plummer from Toddy and work on him.

Last Wicket: Canning b. Anderson 3 (FOW: 10/1)

Might have tried to rest too many players for this one.

I gave Canning a game and he responded with an 11 ball three. Well played son.

Lovely figures for Brinky

Akram's 4-37 and Khoto's 3-20 see's us wrap up the win and dismiss them for 112!

[The General]

Time to hope for no game to appear!

:D

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

That would be handy, although Evelyn, O'connor and Schoeman haven't made an appearance yet, so they're all pretty fit.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

YB just about to be eliminated.

[SUFC_Al]

Slightly put my chances to bed :cry:

18.5 W Breedt to Perry
Out! I think Perry was scared of that delivery. He just wagged his bat at it and got a juicy nick for Oakley to gobble up.
18.4 W Breedt to Mullins
It's gone high in the air... a straight forward catch. He's out!
18.3 W Breedt to King
Bowled him! An atrocious piece of footwork by King; he nearly fell over there.
18.2 W Breedt to Spencer
Huge shout by Breedt and Oakley. Spencer holds his bat up but the umpire isn't fooled by the gesture. Up goes the finger.
18.1 W Breedt to Lineker
He's waving his bat as if he's a magician trying to stop the bails from looping up in the air. Well bowled by Breedt.
