congrats on a good win.

Thanks.

I think that match would be a good example for why I favour a balanced side to one with 2-3 star players. Although on another day your top order could have hit 300+

Played my best ever FC side against the batting demons. Sawyer in his debut FC match picked up 2 early wickets but didn't pick up any after that although he did bowl himself for a lot longer than I told him to!

After having the Brisbane Stags 4/100 odd, it took another 150 runs before the next wicket came. Once it did though Mampe and Ahmed cleaned up with 4 and 3 wickets respectively.

In reply, Germon was disappointing given his FC experience getting out for a duck while Stubbs was out soon after for 6. The Masi and Chav show is working a lot better than it does in the OD arena with Chav at 53 not out and Masi 47 leaving BB at 2/107 at stumps.

End of Over 51 (9 runs). Everton : 156-2, runrate=3.06
Lead by 23 runs. (Drop Catch 133-10)

I should cruise to victory with maximum bonus points tomorrow. Leaving me playing second at home last match of the season with a two point cushion.

I won my FC game in one day

Awesome way to bring up the 50 for Masi.

27.4 6 Anjum to Masibulele
Beautiful stuff, good line, good length. Hoiked over the top for SIX by Masibulele.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Chav has been a bit more defensive today, Masi being the aggressor.

This "bowler"
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: feeble
just took a wicket.

You can only do so much to get the other team into the game. Come on guys, splurge out, buy some mediocre/mediocre batsmen.

This one too
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal

Geez one gun batsmen is killing me. If this is what Div 4 is going to be like I better do some major rigging!

Back in it once my King came in and got the gun batter along with 2 other wickets. He bowled himself a bit too long though as once Mampe and Borrowdale came on the tail was cleaned up with Mampe ending with a 3 fer and Borrowdale a 2 fer.

End of Over 98 (1 runs). Brisbane Stags: 311-10, runrate=3.17 (1st Inn: 323-10)
Lead by 130 runs. (Baggy Blues 504-9 dec)
Borrowdale 19-2-63-2
Kola* 2 (3 balls)

So got about 2 hours to chase down 130, don't know how many overs that is but if my openers get out I won't be too displeased with Chav and Masi.

And they've done it

End of Over 26 (8 runs). Baggy Blues: 132-3, runrate=5.08 (1st Inn: 504-9 dec)
