Crowhurst 165
Jenkins 62
Crookes 56
Cable 4/77 (31.0)
Moodley 3/101 (37.0)

Now my guys can have a break.
 
End of Over 40 (1 runs). maanz: 62-8, runrate=1.55 (1st Inn: 144-10)

2 more wickets needed ;) Heather has impressed me very much on his debut match :happy
 
End of Over 28: 159-1, runrate=5.68
Goodwin 4-0-30-0
Lampard* 11 (15 balls)
Richardson 71 (78 balls)

Last Wicket: Basson lbw b. Doyley 63 (FOW: 130/1)

Going slightly better than I expected. Basson played nicely, shame he didn't go on to make a ton. I am hoping that one of these two take me close to the end.
 
Ownage! Nice work Angy!

End of Over 7: 28-4, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=6.81 (320-2)
Bradshaw 4-1-8-2
Lewington* 4 (5 balls)
Wotton 21 (22 balls)

Last Wicket: Sinclair st. Caledera b. Mckinlay 0 (FOW: 12/4)

Everything is going great for me at the moment.
 
I'd just add that I really don't think they've done much to fix bots. Are they even difficult for Div VI noobs?
 
End of Over 32: 140-3, runrate=4.38, reqrunrate=1.50 (166-10)
Bennett 4-1-17-0
Anthony* 9 (5 balls)
Cox 23 (22 balls)


should win that. Be a big win too as it puts me in the driving seat to finish 4th and avoid a qualifier
 
Won by 10 wickets today against Stuttering Hostspurs. Bowled them out for 115 first, with none of their players getting past 25. 4 of my bowlers got 2 wickets, whilst the other lad got 1. Legwathi finishing with best figures in the match of 2-12. We then batted and got 116/0 with Wylie getting 59*(48) and Hodgson getting 52*(39). It only took us 14.2 overs which isn't bad, although would of preffered it to be under 10 overs. :p

A nice win to keep my record in tact, 10/11 losses with the one loss being in the cup against to superior opposition.

Not really. All they have done is increase their PFL to fresh, which doesn't really do much. Unless they are a superbot (which is rare).

You get some pretty impressive ones as you go up the league structure. Big teams going bot are still a big threat to decent teams in III and IV in England even with fresh PFL.
 
Pal over in Aus now.

I'm really struggling to find a partner for Masi without weaking my middle order.

Lost Chav in the worst possible way
10.3 W Toulson to Chavhanga
The umpire has made the square in the air... this will be close... red light, and he's out!

Sawyer and Masi forming a decent partership need them to be there at least to 30 overs.

End of Over 15: 64-2, runrate=4.27
Hargreaves 1-0-5-0
Sawyer* 12 (15 balls)
Masibulele 22 (28 balls)

Last Wicket: Chavhanga Run Out 27 (FOW: 39/2)
 
Yeah, but your team has recovered well to get to 127/2. This should definitely be a high-scoring affair like the previous match.

There probably needs to be an AI that draws bots towards equilibrium. Weak bots slowly acquire strength, while strong bots will tend to offload their players. Just a demonstrative AI for buying and selling players would be interesting.

Excellent bowling by Graddon; line and length finds that thin nick through to the 'keeper.

This is a joke. I really need some goddamn bowlers!

Ah well, Scarlett had a good debut for me! 5 dismissals including a stumping.
