MOTM:
Wes Durston (135 and 91*)
Reaction:
Another FC draw, and another legendary performance by Fail Al Hasan.
We were well on top of them at one stage, but a century for Wes Durston, and two fifties by their eight and nine meant the match was always heading for a draw, because of them scoring so pointlessly slowly. Alan Richardson continued his great FC form, ripping apart Derbyshire taking seven of their ten first innings wickets.
We set about posted a good total in reply, which we done thanks to all the players listed above. Moeen Ali was our only centurion, but an 88 not out from debutant Alan Darbon was the major highlight.
After the two marathon first innings efforts, you would have been better to just call the match off then. Our bowlers were poor in their second innings, and we had an hour and a half to bat out to save the match.
Shakib went wicketless for 48 overs in the match, and could only manage a painful 19 with the bat. Wes Durston was obviously named MOTM, and the points were fairly split evenly with eight going each way. We were now 20 points off second to last place on the table, with a game in hand.

Reaction:
Another vital win, which takes us two wins clear of of last place.
It was all Imran Arif early on, as he ripped apart the Unicorns top order. Shakib bowled his eight overs for just 14 runs through the middle overs, and Richardson came back at the end to finish the job off. A perfect bowling effort.
Chasing such a small total against an average bowling attack, on a near perfect batting pitch was always going to be a pretty easy task, even for us. Our two openers done most of the damage, as we romped home with 82 balls remaining. That's Mitchell fourth half century in our last four matches.

My family have a whole lot of people over for dinner so I'll either play this when they all leave which will probably be about midnight, or tomorrow morning.
A great win for you there, hopefully I can be just as dominating

I bought it, it was only 23 bucks, just gonna use default fields. Playing as Queensland and am 84/5 off 24 against WA in my first FRC match.
Lol, once you play it for a bit you'll learn what are the best tactics etc.
Broad just hit a 332 ball ton, what a man haha.

Broad is a god. Harris is dire though, he's horribly rated on this game and I was getting to the stage of dropping him for first class matches because he was that bad.
Make sure you play Chris 'Ladies Man' Lynn though, he's a star.

Of course - at number 5. Just played the most frustrating game. Needed 27 to win off 60 balls after Hartley hit 105 off 93, a beautiful ton to watch. Then needed 1 off 12. The Warriors bowled 2 maidens and forced a tie..RAGE. I always forget to take the batting powerplay too.

LOL, how's you manage to do that?
In my Queensland save (not that I got very far), Carseldine was my best batsmen, followed by Broad, and Cutting was my best bowler.

No. They're like Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands meaning you can't play with them since they don't play in the County Championship.
