They have two Waltons in their team. That is wierd.

 

[aussie1st]

Suren has two Walton as well And I played him the week before so two matches in a row I was playing them. And both times they were bowlers.

 

[aussie1st]

Going good here. Hopefully can bowl them out for under 300.

 

[aussie1st]

Triple 100, maybe he can break the BB highest ever score of 600 something.

89.6 3 Hibbert to Sayce
Not quite timed by Sayce, but it races away towards the boundary. Great chase by Payne keeps it to three.
A triple century. Excellent innings this.

Steyn 22-0-181-0
Nicholls* 366 (321 balls)

Playing a bot, all my upcoming games will need my top XI so I expect a slow start to the new friendly competition. I will declare at 1200 and hopefully get three days worth of income

37.1 W Sodhi to Hankey
Went for the big heave-ho, but completely missed it! He hangs his head as he makes the long walk back to the pavilion.

Can I win this game after being asked to follow on?

 

[angryangy]

Here's a posit. You order your team to GFI, but in doing so they only take the field for about 50 overs before the match is completed. Do they lose more fitness than a team ordered to PAN and play the full 100 overs?

 

[aussie1st]

The PFL this season seems to take less a hit from GFI so I would say you wouldn't notice the difference.

Not a great day, had the opposition 6 down for 130 odd and they managed to get to 8/193 star two bowlers Barrowdale and Sawyer not picking up any wickets.

In reply lost my usually consistent new purchase cheaply.

End of Over 22: 159-1, runrate=7.23, reqrunrate=1.25 (193-8)
Oboyle 4-0-39-0
Chavhanga* 47 (37 balls)
Masibulele 80 (64 balls)
Last Wicket: Fincher b. Van blerk 27 (FOW: 65/1)

 

[angryangy]

So anyway, while we wait for the day's PFL analysis to come through

Magpies XI 103 (37.1)
Jenny 55
Wharrad 5/16 (8.1)

Fighting Mongooses 1/105 (15.4)
Dodge 59 n.o.

On paper it might have been an overkill GFI, but he has 3 bowlers that can sometimes make 200 a very big total. I've been hurt before. Plus, I need to ensure a win after some frustrating defeats.

 

[angryangy]

And the stats are in. The three pace bowlers and wicketkeeper lost 1 level of PFL. Only one of these leaves the week with less PFL than they started.

 

[Hooper]

Im playing fellow Premier League team Ross XI (iloveireland)

Im doing well, even without Bennett playing. My bowling is really weak today but.

Last Wicket: James c. Falken b. Southern 51 (FOW: 141/2)

 

[aussie1st]

Trying out a move my opponent on Friday uses. Working okay although this pitch is uneven.

End of Over 7: 21-0, runrate=3.00
Sawyer 4-1-10-0
Shahbaz* 6 (16 balls)
Joyce 10 (26 balls)

Not bad got out the 80k BT rating guy

8.2 W Sawyer to Shahbaz
Shahbaz charged towards Sawyer like a rhino on heat, only to miss the ball and have Masibulele whip off the bails. Out!

I'm lovin that Fincher, got the BB off to a solid start.
