We've got a Superman in our mist.

Prince Themba, captain of The Blind Society for this game, hammered 388 in the first innings and then 149* in the second innings. And has taken 8 wickets in this match so far too, 7 in the last innings. Economy rate of below 1, Strike rate of over 100. God-like stuff. How can I drop him after this?
Therefore this:

Stamina: abysmal Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: woeful Concentration: feeble
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: feeble

Is now going to be a FC regular for the Blind Society Batting 7/8, and bowling a few overs at 5/6.

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 61 (1 runs). Old Wulfs: 187-5, runrate=3.07 (1st Inn: 204-10)
Trail by 193 runs. (Stormsurge 324-2 dec & 260-2 dec)
Dawkins 15-7-17-1
Knight* 15 (66 balls)
Fieldwick 4 (19 balls)

20 overs to go. Losing Stiles was a big blow, if he were still there I'd be confident. As it is, I'm not.

 

[Jaztheman]

I lost by an innings and 22 runs I think, 79K in gate reciepts though isn't bad.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 21 (Maiden). Barnehagen: 23-9, runrate=1.10 (1st Inn: 27-10)
Trail by 1207 runs. (The Blind Society 1005-7 dec & 252-0 dec)
Themba 11-8-7-5
Barber* 2 (3 balls)
Grimes 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Hughes Run Out 0 (FOW: 23/9)

Themba now has 13 wickets in the match, two fifers. And 537 runs out once. Incredible...

End of Over 22 (2 runs). Barnehagen: 25-10, runrate=1.14 (1st Inn: 27-10)
Trail by 1205 runs. (The Blind Society 1005-7 dec & 252-0 dec)
Haishen 1-0-2-1
Grimes* 0 (1 balls)

And that's the end of the match. The Blind Society won by 1205 runs.

Nice

End of Over 10: 81-0, runrate=8.10
Mott 5-0-49-0
Dodds* 24 (20 balls)
Dunn 56 (40 balls)

Great start here. Dunn is depriving Dodds of the strike. Playing on a flat pitch though I don't think the opposition care because one of their opening bowlers BT rating is 998.

 

[aussie1st]

14.4 1 Pule to Chavhanga
They had to run quickly, a direct hit would have got him.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

15.1 1 Salisbury to Ray
Firmly hit into the covers by Ray, and a superb stop by Barker saves the boundary.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Doesn't look like I'll touch 400

End of Over 19: 125-0, runrate=6.58
Pule 3-0-15-0
Ray* 59 (50 balls)
Chavhanga 62 (65 balls)

 

[angryangy]

This is all a bit ridiculous

Fighting Mongooses 0/97 (30.0)
Dodge 49*
Way 40*

And I set all my batsmen to very attacking. Seems like he had the same idea and set his bowlers to very defensive.

What's most annoying is that Battrick probably won't give me 200 for this.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Oh Lisbie! Oh Lisbie! On a hattrick!

31.4 W Lisbie to Flynn
What a rip snorter of a delivery!! The ball swung in and nipped away smashing into off stump. The bewildered Flynn heads back to the pavilion.

31.5 W Lisbie to Steyn
Yes, he's got him LBW. Very little bounce from Lisbie's delivery, which has resulted in Steyn being struck plumb in front.

Misses the hattrick, but still has superb figures!

End of Over 32: 156-6, runrate=4.88
Lisbie 6-2-11-3
Grant* 71 (75 balls)
Petrus 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Steyn lbw b. Lisbie 0 (FOW: 156/6)

Off to a great start today. I'm playing the 2nd top team who was first all of last season until about the 2nd last match.

Oh oh oh!

32.5 W Longrigg to Petrus
Longrigg bowled that one just short of a length and outside off stump. Petrus spars and a thin but oh-so-audible nick is heard all over the ground. Petrus doesn't wait for the decision as a jubilant Bridges hurls the ball to the heavens!

End of Over 34: 163-7, runrate=4.79
Lisbie 7-2-13-3
Grant* 77 (79 balls)
Burgess 0 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Petrus c. Bridges b. Longrigg 0 (FOW: 161/7)

Superb bowling from my guys today.

34.4 W Caskey to Burgess
Caskey sent that one down on a good length and the batsman didn't know whether to play it or leave it. He'll be back in the pavilion by the time he's made up his mind, I reckon. Fine bowling, but poor batting and deservedly out!

And another. I feel it's going to hard work chasing down this total.

35.5 W Lisbie to Stifler
Stifler looks up sheepishly at the umpire before solemnly marching back to the pavilion; I think he knew he was gone as soon as the ball hit the pad.

Another for Lisbie. Can he get a 5 fa?

End of Over 36: 165-9, runrate=4.58
Lisbie 8-3-13-4
Grant* 78 (81 balls)
Duffy 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Stifler lbw b. Lisbie 1 (FOW: 165/9)

 

[aussie1st]

Chav got his 2nd 100, twice against bots

Didn't go on like last time though.

34.5 W Mcallister to Chavhanga
Wicket ball. That's through the defences and Mcallister has his man.

End of Over 36: 261-1, runrate=7.25
Salisbury 8-0-49-0
Ray* 123 (101 balls)
Germon 4 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Mcallister 128 (FOW: 252/1)

Aren't you playing one of the top 2 teams Sean?

 

[Gilly Fan]

Chav is a bot basher.

Chav got his 2nd 100, twice against bots

Didn't go on like last time though.





Aren't you playing one of the top 2 teams Sean?

Yep, the 2nd team. Green Jelly.

End of Over 38: 179-9, runrate=4.71
Lisbie 9-3-20-4
Duffy* 2 (5 balls)
Grant 89 (89 balls)
Last Wicket: Stifler lbw b. Lisbie 1 (FOW: 165/9)

Lisbie just can't seem to get that 5th wicket.

End of Over 40: 185-9, runrate=4.63
Lisbie 10-3-24-4
Duffy* 4 (8 balls)
Grant 93 (98 balls)
Last Wicket: Stifler lbw b. Lisbie 1 (FOW: 165/9)

Superb figures from Lisbie. I'm getting slightly annoyed that I can't get this 10th wicket. The more runs the score, the more this match is slipping away from me.

41.5 W Caskey to Duffy
The balls nips back, beats the bat as Duffy went for the cut, and nicks leg stump.

Finally get em out. Too late though I think. Game might be out of my reach now.

End of Over 42: 196-10, runrate=4.67
Caskey 8-0-42-2
Grant* 103 (102 balls)

He has a bloody good bowling attack.

 

[aussie1st]

Ray also loves the bots Hopefully he can get the 200 I wanted.

End of Over 43: 311-1, runrate=7.23
Parry 7-0-59-0
Germon* 32 (25 balls)
Ray 145 (121 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Mcallister 128 (FOW: 252/1)

 

[Griffo]

We should have a friendly next week sean. Ill give it my all but i dont want to see your top squad cause your just that much better than yours truly

End of Over 2: 11-0, runrate=5.50, reqrunrate=3.13 (160-10)
Harmer 1-0-7-0
Mattheus* 3 (3 balls)
James 8 (9 balls)

I struggled with my last two wickets but Carrington seems to be a much improved bowler taking alot of wickets this week through hard work. Im not playing my top side need should I be and ill be glad to move of 7th in my league.

Note: See if you can spot the Myall joke

1.1 W Burgess to Myall
A beautiful reverse swinger by Burgess has left Myall's bat swinging at thin air. Middle stump takes off like a rocket and hits Van der merwe in the leg. Ouch. Or, should I say, Out-ch. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

I DID IT AGAIN!!!

Carringtons Wickets

1.4 W Carrington to Kirby
Kirby has mistimed his shot and Carrington and Manning are appealing! The umpire seems to be nodding, and he's out - leg before wicket!

9.3 W Carrington to Bishop
OUT! A huge mistimed pull shot, the ball balloons in the air and Fontaine takes an easy catch straight down his throat.

9.4 W Carrington to Nel
Manning claims the catch. The umpire takes his time making the decision but finally the finger goes up. Carrington is jubilant.

29.2 W Carrington to Hughes
A beautiful reverse swinger by Carrington has left Hughes's bat swinging at thin air. Middle stump takes off like a rocket and hits Manning in the leg. Ouch. Or, should I say, Out-ch. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

The last one made me crack up laughing
