I did a WC and made my batting lineup long Conceded 209, ended up with 186, Crouch a star with 86 off 56 and Germon 40 off 21. His team again used his one man Owens to do the scoring and then the wicket taking.

0.4 W Tranter to Davis
Plumb, line and sinker. You won't see an easier decision today!
0.3 W Tranter to Davis
That's edged... AND TAKEN, extremely well done by Carr!

Hehe! xD My new signing opens the bowling and is on a hattrick on his 5th ball against a championship side in First class and div two in one day :P

Wow, im dizzy
2nd over and Paster picks up two more in 3 balls to make them 6 for 4!

End of Over 1: 7-1, runrate=7.00
Sotho 1-0-5-1
Glazier* 1 (1 balls)
Lucketti 4 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Cooper lbw b. Sotho 0 (FOW: 3/1)

Hope you can post a respectable score for me to chase down, Innes. I think you will if you keep batting like you did against Sotho!

Hmmm your ripping me apart! thought I'd put on a bit more of a show especially after beating a championship side yesterday =[

Ummm, Burger took 2 wickets earlier in a maiden and just missed his hattrick but he has just owned you big style. 4 wickets in his most recent over, including a hattrick. On course for easy victory perhaps.

End of Over 7: 21-8, runrate=3.00
Burger 2-1-2-5
Carr* 2 (7 balls)
Paster 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Hartman c. Cahill b. Burger 0 (FOW: 21/8)

Shame no-one hung around with Carr as he has proved to be invaluable to me in my 3 matches.


Well, the only guy who could string a few runs together!

End of Over 8: 33-8, runrate=4.13
Job 1-0-12-0
Paster* 0 (0 balls)
Carr 14 (13 balls)
Last Wicket: Hartman c. Cahill b. Burger 0 (FOW: 21/8)

Playing at a 50k stadium but the guy hasn't played his best team at all. He's rested like his best 5/6 players.

End of Over 5: 53-0, runrate=10.60
Waters 1-0-14-0
Wylie* 17 (11 balls)
Cahill 29 (20 balls)

Thought I was going to get smashed, looks like Cahill and Wylie have other ideas. 11k for todays game.

And that's the end of the match. Shore Athletic won by 113 runs.
Shore Athletic 185-1
Guernsey XI 72-10

Easy win considering I wanted a hard game. Nevermind, still got the money.

Think it was a good fishing trip for my players as I wouldn't want them being thrashed by

Bowling first I kept them down to 2/333, in reply they rolled me for 27. Seriously though it's going to take a few seasons before I'm even at that guys level!

Playoff match, lost Dawber early but as usual Flower and Bignot setting the platform once again for us
