Harro outscoring Wotto... doesnt happen often lol, havent scored less than 50 in any 10 over set yet

 

[Gilly Fan]

Dominated today. Won the toss and batted. Made 4/304. Bowled them out for 76. This side isn't a bot either.

Aussie Bombers Rijumdogs Rijumis
Top Order: respectable respectable
Middle Order: competent feeble
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: proficient mediocre
Spin Bowling: competent strong
Fielding: woeful mediocre

I'm quite happy with that effort.

 

[aussie1st]

Well at least I know what I need to fix and going by BT trend I should be able to win our next match

End of Over 42: 186-3, runrate=4.43, reqrunrate=1.38 (196-9)

Another great win, Wotto finished not out but Harro is MOTM for sure

Need to replace a few bowlers but with two trainees getting better each week thats not too far away

 

[aussie1st]

Lost as expected. This report summary shows how much more effective attacking bowlers are over defensive ones.

Not the best of games for us but it should be a victory like expected. We bowled first with Nkoe bowling surprisingly terrible. 0-52 off his 10 overs. Sotho made up for it though with a very good 4-30 but was mainly helped by Coutts with his 3-24. Onto the batting and Hodgson continues to be our best batsman this season. 6*, 111 and 76* shows how consistent he can be.

I can't get on MSN so I'll post this here. Griffo you owe me an apology about today's match Just check it out and just say, "Tom, I really admire your skill"

 

[Griffo]

Look at the report.. you know the teams in your league better than me

Is that your top team on GFI?

 

[Highlander999]

Yeah pretty much

 

[aussie1st]

Ahhhh its great to be back in the land of the dust. Picked up his wonderful batter via Sawyer

2.5 W Sawyer to Gill
The faintest of edges! Sawyer's consistency has paid off!

Now Mr Mampe back in the opening role picks up the 2nd.

3.3 W Mampe to Sedgwick
That's the right line! The ball clips the top of the off stump as Sedgwick misjudged where his castle stood, and the bowling side's coaching staff give themselves a pat on the back for that dismissal.

End of Over 4: 10-2, runrate=2.50
Mampe 2-1-5-1
Elvins* 3 (4 balls)
Wilkerson 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Sedgwick b. Mampe 1 (FOW: 10/2)

And there goes his superb top order.

6.3 W Sawyer to Elvins
Elvins hit in front... huge shout... umpire's taking his time... and he's given him. A bit of theatre by the umpire, that looked plumb to me.

Exactly what I needed with Fernades and Semple to come. Hopefully my batters don't collapse against his spinners.

 

[Griffo]

Lol syl im more interested in your games these days then mine Well done on rolling them, the batting looked ok but im not too sure, you might have to use that program to get positional statistics

 

[Jaztheman]

End of Over 20: 100-4, runrate=5.00
Davidson 5-0-23-1
Locke* 6 (6 balls)
Hawkins 58 (58 balls)
Last Wicket: Edgerley-harris b. Davidson 19 (FOW: 77/4)

This is incredible. I'm TIE against a formidable opponent who has rested a few batsmen and has his best bowling attack. I've rested two of my star bowlers and a few batsmen so I'm bound to lose but if I GFI with my best team I might of won this. This is their team:

Top Order: quality
Middle Order: superb
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: wonderful
Spin Bowling: exquisite
Fielding: mediocre

Mampe* 101 (74 balls)
Cox 24 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Pollock c. Schofield b. Marshal 154 (FOW: 289/2)

Career best knock from Pollock. Hunt bags a wicket in the first over too. Last weeks mistakes have not been repeated.
