Week 7 - The FC Thread

[The General]

Well this week sees General Star's welcome the oddly named One Team....One... The oppo sit bottom in the league but have won and drawn their last 2 FC games. General Star's currently sit in 2nd, 14 points behind leaders Cricket Genuises who play 7th placed Rival Schools.

The General Stars will rest Raven, Tapp, Guy and Browne for this encounter. Jackman will play, along with a bowling attack including Tomlinson, Thompson, Hitchman and captain Akram! Titterton sneaks in at 5 along with Lamb, Bayliss, Philip, Phillips and stand-in wickie Stanton doing the batting. The GS's will be looking to bowl first especially with the weather conditions which are predicted for tomorrow.

Tricky for me this week, as I play the leaders of my divisions in both FC and OD.

Middleton and Evelyn are both at Invigorated so miss out today, as do Schoeman and O'connor who are both at Energetic. Friday's oppo is all batting, so need my bowlers to be at their best then.

Mrs BB plays Kev's oppo from last week. Mohammed and Stride miss out, but she still fancies her chances as her oppo's PFL is shot to bits

 

[MrB]

The effects of three games a week haven't hit home just yet, only Mushy sits on invigorated of my main 9 with Cooky, Richie & Hot Rod all energetic.

My opponent has 4 players above 50k BTR who are all sublime however they appear to be ignoring FC at the moment. I'll rest a few but will leave Suthers and Cooky in just in case. Playing on their green pitch so if they do field the reserves I'll be looking to finish it in one day!

King Kong Ding Dong v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We can tell you that King Kong Ding Dong won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Result !

DIBS DIPPERS v Exeter Bulldogs

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS 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 cloud day.
