Story Brendon vs Callum vs Jono - A Worcestershire Battle

[CG123]

And I also forgot to mention that Arif has been injured for ages but he's going to be fine for the final

He's been useless for me this season.

I also just realised that I played Ben Cox in one game and he scored 40

Lol, you still have him?

 

[hedger_14]

Well I need a backup keeper and Solanki has been my worst bat this season so I would probably have had Cox keep instead.

 

[CG123]

I just went into this season with Solanki and my regen keeper from last season, and this season I got another regen keeper.

So I've now got two more or less identical regen keepers, they're both aggressive, and their second team averages are within one of each other.

In my last game or two I've been playing them both though, as Solanki is injured and Darbon is on international duty.

[CG123]

I just played my next match, but I won't post it until tomorrow.

However I feel like posting now that Darbon ripped it up for England. In 5 ODIs he's now averaging over 60 at a S/R of 98.

 

[Chewie]

Annoyingly I have one too many players in my squad for all the players to fit onto one screen shot >.<

I kept my regen keeper and bought O'Brien who was my best batsman.

MOTM:

Comments:

Another final lost but the end to a stunning season. Moore had got us off to a great start with 74 from only 54 balls but we soon fell to 6/144 but a 76 run partnership between Wheeldon and Flowers and a 29 run partnership between Flowers and Pears guided us to a total of 249, what we should have been comfortable in defending, Flowers finishing 60*.

We just couldn't take wickets though and only Norris kept it tight at all, only Arif other than him going at less than 6 an over.

Lol, I've still got like three/four games to go.

Can you guys please post your final CT and final CC points, in the column format (I don't know what you call it, but hopefully you get what I mean).

My CC points were in my last match post and I won 4 CT matches.

What a match, with just five runs and one wicket in it!

We probably should have won in the end, but nine points from a draw is a pretty good haul.

What a performance from our skipper, 190 runs, 3 wickets and 3 catches.

Reaction:

A very sorry end to such a promising OD season.

We started off with five straight wins, but finished off winning only two of our last seven matches.

In the end if we'd won one more match we would have qualified for the semi-finals as the highest second placed team on NRR, so I'm pretty gutted really.
