Cleaned up the bot, I was hoping to bat first

May I ask why? Surely bowling first has saved PFL???

 

[aussie1st]

Which division is that team?

Another easy win chased his total down in 5 overs with Masi 20 off 12 balls.

Don't know about Masi getting MOTM.

My players are all sublime and I have no big matches next week Also I wanted to see how Crouch went on his aggression I set him on.

Yea was at you, thought he was there when I saw your score.

I thought he would be playing quite a strong team. Looks like he under estimated me. We both rested key players due to PFL, but my overall squad is stronger and it is showing. Got the batsmen on very defensive though so will need to change that this afternoon. Great bowling performance though:

The players are off the field for the change of innings.


End of Over 53 (Maiden). draadtrekkers: 172-10, runrate=3.25
Mosheua 12-0-34-3
Monk* 6 (33 balls)

Good performance by these 3:

Mosheua: 12-0-34-3
Stanford: 15-1-40-4 (Got a really big wicket)
Tenius: 9-0-34-2 (Got a couple of key wickets)

Should be looking at maximum points and my first FC win of the season now:

Hopkins 18-2-87-0

Bowled out for 61 on day one.

Bowled the opposition out for 199 on day 1 also.

What the hell? I made 406 in the 2nd innings and now have them at 3/79 chasing 268 on day 3. This would have to be an amazing comeback if I won. That, or their batting is terrible.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol kinda of like my match although the 2nd inns I "kinda" of bowled with my part timers to get the match into the 3rd day In the end I probably could have got it into the 3rd day without my part timers bowling.

They declared for 422 with my guys 0/35 at stumps needing something like 350 tomorrow.

 

[Highlander999]

Should now avoid it going to the third day

End of Over 21 (2 runs). draadtrekkers: 21-6, runrate=1.00 (1st Inn: 172-10)
Trail by 175 runs. (Muireston 368-2 dec)

Monk* 1 (10 balls)
Sutton 8 (49 balls)

Last Wicket: Gouws Run Out 3 (FOW: 18/6)

 

[Highlander999]

Sometimes Battrick can be so un-realistic :

End of Over 42 (2 runs). draadtrekkers: 41-8, runrate=0.98 (1st Inn: 172-10)
Trail by 155 runs. (Muireston 368-2 dec)

Tenius 11-6-7-1

Herbert* 6 (51 balls)
Monk 11 (77 balls)

Last Wicket: Piel Run Out 0 (FOW: 23/8)

 

[navin-boss]

My team need just 85 runs in the 3rd day with 8 wickets remaining in the hand!So i kept all of them to Normal and Defensive.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

End of Over 9 (10 runs). Everton : 37-0, runrate=4.11 (1st Inn: 457-4 dec)
Lead by 264 runs. (East London Iruns 230-10)
Featherstone 5-1-17-0
Harbin* 13 (30 balls)
Pollock 23 (24 balls)

Set a second innings dec target of around 200. Probably won't hit it tonight, but I am odds on to win now.

Will achieve my target of getting it to the third day.
