End of Over 22: 95-5, runrate=4.32
Skuse 6-2-26-4
Anthony* 45 (48 balls)
Rhodes 0 (0 balls)

rhodes respectable and Harris proficient left. Harris has poor PF though

if i hit 150 i have a shot if his top order fails


however Harris is bowling (strong) instead of dunne (also strong but higher PF) i chose that because of the extra depth harris gives,, which if he makes 5-10 runs/sticks with anthony for about 25-30 deliveries is perhaps justified.

and rhodes gets a golden duck

probably all over but you never know

Playing my strongest team against BFN, fantastic start:

Then a small partnership was built. Then Dodd came on. In his first over:

No hat trick, there was a wide in the middle)

As its stands.

Just one of those days I suppose. Just to give some perspective, my result and summary from Friday and today.

[ste_mc_efc]

I lost by 3 wickets. His tail (im counting his middle order as part of the tail) put up a ridiculously good fight. especially considering i had my 3 spinners bowling at them on a dusty pitch. and they are all several primaries higher.

was a good game and i didn't have myself as favourites so can't complain

i'll just win the next won and regain my title

 

[pal]

Pal should have easy win, like.

I hope so, barring any miracles. Are you playing your best team or are you taking it easy on me?
