Fighting Mongooses won the toss and elected to bat, the surface looking uneven and ripe for fast bowling.

Brouhaha XI 152 (68.0)
Cable 4/30 (16.0)

Brouhaha were bowled out in the afternoon, unable to score free off any bowler. Fighting Mongooses then saw the day out, albeit shakily, to 5/167. Brouhaha had a chance, but Barton and Hamed were resilient and added 229 for the 6th wicket.

Fighting Mongooses 473 (120.2)
Barton 281 n.o.
Hamed 88
Browne 50
Hanley 4/102 (26.2)

It was then too massive a task for Brouhaha to make the Mongooses bat again, with a further 235 remaining on day 3, the best result possible would be a draw. However, even that was unlikely, with four wickets already down. Fate was sealed as Wharrad fired out of the blocks, ripping up what was left of the batsmen.

Brouhaha XI 122 (52.4)
Falken 57 n.o.
Wharrad 5/53 (16.0)

Fighting Mongooses won by an innings and 199 runs

Points
Fighting Mongooses: 22
Brouhaha XI: 3

Now part of the 1000 club
Baggy Blues 3/1002 (Quintus 356*, Masibulele 300, Steele 187)
Hehe realistic in BT to the number 87.

And there it is again. earlwood wanderers all out for 87 (Hitish 4-26, Mohammed 4-13, Barrowdale 2-9) No idea how I won that game considering I scored 400 runs in the day and bowled him all out...

 

[Griffo]

So annoyed! I scored 1000 and needed 1 wicket to beat a strong bot but i couldnt get it with a 50 thats right 50!!! 10th wicket partnership, batting conditions but

 

[Gilly Fan]

Beat the 3rd team by 10 wickets. Chased down 165 with 10 wickets to spare.

Robinson 83
Myall 81

Lisbie 3 fa.

Now coasting in 1st hopefully.

 

[angryangy]

I think I won today in a massive upset, but the scorecard engine is being a bit of a hoebag.

So yeah, he seemed to be playing his top XI, but his top order is stuffed; I can't tell if he's throwing or has just lost the plot.

Ideally, he'd rate about this

Slats' Sick XI
Top Order: 	strong
Middle Order: 	mediocre
Lower Order: 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	proficient
Spin Bowling: 	proficient
Fielding: 	woeful

But today

Fighting Mongooses  	Slats' Sick XI
Top Order: 	competent 	feeble
Middle Order: 	competent 	feeble
Lower Order: 	worthless 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	competent 	strong
Spin Bowling: 	proficient 	mediocre
Fielding: 	feeble	 woeful

Fighting Mongooses won by six wickets

 

[aussie1st]

Dam bot won the toss so I could do some bot bashing with the batters

 

[Left_Hander]

Won by 10 wickets against a side who is what I think, throwing their games so they can demote. They are coming last and the team coming second last is human as well, they BOTH lost to bots. This side (the team coming last) beat me last season, though I couldn't finish 3rd and he couldn't finish 4th.

 

[aussie1st]

Won the toss and put Angy in, I see he made it a flat pitch not that I would change anything. Will be interesting see how my batters go against Cable on this pitch.

Early break through by Barrowdale

0.4 W Borrowdale to Way
Hamed doesn't drop those.

End of Over 4: 19-1, runrate=4.75
Hitish 2-0-9-0
Browne* 12 (14 balls)
Dodge 2 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Way c. Hamed b. Borrowdale 1 (FOW: 2/1)

I am playing GrayNicolls today in the PlanetCricket Champions League. I gave myself Norfolk N Chance () about winning this game but I actually going alright.

Welcome to The Music Room for the match between Mental Blank and Norfolk N Chance.

We can tell you that Mental Blank won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

End of Over 16: 99-1, runrate=6.19
Gough 3-0-17-0
Stoltz* 45 (48 balls)
Lampard 32 (28 balls)

Last Wicket: Basson c. Hezeltine b. Stevenson 18 (FOW: 45/1)

Great start on a flat pitch. Stoltz is going well.

16.5 6 Hezeltine to Stoltz
Smack! Stoltz walks down the wicket nonchalantly and dismisses the ball over the long on fence for a cracking six. Stoltz at his bullying best there.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Nice knock by Stoltzy. If he keeps going he might be on his way to a hundred, that would be nice.

 

[aussie1st]

Been very average from Clayden and Sawyer so far.

End of Over 21: 116-1, runrate=5.52
Sawyer 4-0-22-0
Dodge* 62 (68 balls)
Browne 46 (55 balls)
Last Wicket: Way c. Hamed b. Borrowdale 1 (FOW: 2/1)

 

[Left_Hander]

End of Over 49: 285-3, runrate=5.82
Stevenson 10-0-71-1
Sayce* 36 (28 balls)
Henry 4 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Lampard c. Hezeltine b. Elmes 144 (FOW: 278/3)

Lampard just got out. Great knock. Got my goal of 280 and now we should finish with about 290+. Hopefully I can defend this score.

Nice start there by your team, Leftie! And Syl, you need wickets to restrict them below 300. Who knows, BT collapse can occur anytime

Oh, my match against Borncricketer is yet to start in another 50 minutes.

dumbest. game. ever.

End of Over 47: 258-3, runrate=5.49
End of Over 48: 258-9, runrate=5.38

Best BT collapse ever. It must suck to be you

Funny thing is that those guys are established batsmen, makes it even more strange.
