[Briggsey]

Great work you are doing i think briggs will soon be in england national team and hopefully play ashes in australia next year. I also wants to start a season like this and just wanted to ask some questions.
Do u bat whole ininngs or wait for ur turn?
and what about bowling u cant autoplay one over or when u ball overs u also ball from other end.
and last keep it up

Thanks for your support mate, in reply to your questions

I dont bat the whole innings, I autoplay until Briggs comes in, and then play that with the other batsman and once Briggs gets out i autoplay the rest of the innings. As far as bowling is concerned, I autoplay until I want Briggs to come on, then I play with him and the bowler at the other end until I want to take Briggs out of the attack at which point i autoplay again! Hope thats some help to you mate.

congratulations on 2nd place briggsey. very well done mate

Thanks mate, I will be continuing this story for a long time yet, so 1000 posts is not out of the question!

Yorkshire Cruise To Victory
At Chester-le-Street

Yorkshire gained revenge over Durham for their earlier defeat in the competition by gaining a 7 wicket victory over the men from the north east. The result was never really in doubt as Yorkshire rarely looked troubled, despite the fact that 3 wickets fell on their way to the 90 runs required for victory, but after Harvey and Briggs put on 57 for the first wicket, the result was all but settled. Harvey and Briggs finished with the two top scores, with Harvey showing his typical agression in his knock of 32, while Briggs scored a quick 25 as Yorkshire reached their total with 7.4 overs to spare. Harmison and Killeen both picked up wickets for Durham, but their efforts were not enough to give Durham a second victory over Yorkshire.

From Briggs View
Another solid knock from Briggs showed why he is such a valuable person of this Yorkshire team. He played his shots all around the ground to make field positioning even harder for Durham captain Hussey, and it took a real special delivery to get rid of the young Yorkshireman. Harmison had been bouncing them in to Briggs who had been finding them quite easy to deal with, but then a ball of fuller length crept through the gate Briggs had left and bowled took his off stump out of the ground, much to the delight of the England quickie. Briggs had still done enough with opening partner Harvey though to give Yorkshire that all important victory.

A fine delivery from Harmison brought an end to a good knock from Briggs

Man Of The Match

Another fine all round performance from Briggs and with Yorkshire guaranteed a position in the final stages of the competition he could get the chance to have a well earned rest for the next game against Leicestershire

Leicestershire vs Yorkshire
At Grace Road

Top versus bottom in the final game of the North Zone group as Yorkshire travel to last years champions Leicestershire. The former champions is how they will be known though with them sitting bottom of the group and with no chance of progressing through, meaning new champions will be crowned this year. With Yorkshire already secure in the fact that there place in the draw for the eliminators is awaiting them, they can afford to loose this one, while Leicestershire will look to go out of the competition with a bang, so this one may be quite a game. The captains made their way to the middle to check out the conditions before the toss.

A green pitch has been served up by the groundsman, not ideal for either team but Leicestershire must have something up their sleeves preparing such a pitch. The overcast conditions could however sway the winning captains decision. The match referee made their way to the middle to see over the coin toss.

So, Craig White has won the toss and elected to bowl first, probably due to the fact that the overcast conditions are here now and may not be later. The teams were released soon after, and as expected Yorkshire have made quite a few changes to their team, resting a few key players.

Leicestershire Post Challenging Total To Leave Match Delicately Poised
At Grace Road

Leicestershire posted a decent total of 162 from their 20 overs to leave the match in an interesting situation at the halfway stage. With an understrength Yorkshire team out on the field, you would expect Leicestershire to capitalise on this, but their start was not as they would have expected. Being 14 for 2 at one stage, Leicestershire looked in trouble, but a fine innings Aftab Habib who scored a quick fire 48, steadied the ship and left Ackerman and Sadler to do some big hitting in the final overs to further boost the Leicestershire total. Yorkshire's bowling was lacklusture and the absence of Hoggard and Briggs was notable with only 5 wickets picked up in the innings, and 2 of those run outs. Deon Kruis was the picked of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 1 for 21 from his 4 overs to give Yorkshire a fighting chance.

Maddy And Sadler Inspire Leicestershire To Victory
At Grace Road

Leicestershire fought back at Grace Road to deny Yorkshire a winning end to their group stage campaign, as they claimed a narrow 18 run victory. After a bright start which saw Jaques and White put on 73 for the opening wicket, the wickets fell at regular intervals with the medium pace of Maddy in particular causing problems for the Yorkshire bowlers as he took full use of the conditions and finished with figures of 4 for 23 from his 4 overs. Sadler also proved to be a thorn in Yorkshires chase as he chipped in at the end with 3 wickets to sink the Yorkshire ship with a full over to go. Leicestershire bow out of the competition the same way they ended last years competition; with a win but this year, they will not be celebrating as champions, and Yorkshire progress looking to take over as champions.

So, with Briggs rested for this game, he will be fresh for the quater final games but none the less Yorkshire will still be dissapointed not to have finished the group games on a high and will not go into the quaters as high on confidence as they would have done if the result would have been different
