Hmm yeah shouldn't have said that lol. Maguire and Plummer both got tons the other day IIRC so I hope they can find that form.

 

[aussie1st]

Well after these two it is all med bowlers.

 

[aussie1st]

Nice batting Matt, should be an interesting chase.

End of Over 1: 6-0, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=6.08 (303-5)
Spillane 1-0-6-0
Shet* 5 (3 balls)
Moodley 1 (3 balls)

 

[mattfb]

Yeah Maguire and Plummer both got tons again but I stuffed up with the bowling. I switched the batting line-up and forgot to change the bowling around so Maguire ended up bowling instead of Morrison!! You got the runs in the final ball by the looks of it. Great match.

 

[aussie1st]

Good thing you didn't change the bowling, I probably would have lost!

Heres the final over

End of Over 49: 289-3, runrate=5.90, reqrunrate=15.00 (303-5)
Phindile 10-0-57-0
Stubbs* 70 (57 balls)
Muller 5 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Sayce c. Plummer b. Spillane 103 (FOW: 276/3)
49.1 4 Spillane to Stubbs
Spillane drops short and is cut away by Stubbs for an uppish four to the fence.
49.2 1 Spillane to Stubbs
Pitched up, and helped away for a single down to long on.
49.3 lb4 Spillane to Muller
Well, that's a big LBW appeal and everyone went up without realising the ball was going to the boundary. Umpire turns down the appeal and the ball rolls for four.
49.4 1 Spillane to Muller
Runs it into the gap and calls for a sharp single.
49.5 1 Spillane to Stubbs
Back of a length, on pads, and played down to long on.
49.6 4 Spillane to Muller
Fetch that one. Four runs all the way, neatly driven through the covers.

 

[mattfb]

Spillane is probably my best bowler after Phindile so he should have done better but Maguire got hit for 85 off is 10 a d I'm sure Morrison would have done better. Ah well, Muller did well at the end.

 

[mattfb]

Hitish is proving expensive lately though, might be time to find a new backup bowler.

I need another Fast bowler, what are Hitish stats?

 

[aussie1st]

Si Hitish - 27 yo, BT Rating=4,589 shortcut
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler. He is an attacking player with woeful leadership skills and strong experience.
He currently has competent batting form, worthless bowling form and sublime fitness.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: woeful
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: respectable Consistency: competent
Fielding: feeble

But you probably are better off finding someone else.

After a great start, I haven't gotten a wicket in ages.

Looks like he is middle order heavy like me.

Surmon* 106 (121 balls)
Teasdale 145 (133 balls)
Last Wicket: Porter c. Byfield b. Lisbie 24 (FOW: 59/1)

Forgot to set my orders last night so was expecting a minor disaster! Things are going perfect at the moment, the only problem is that there isn't a declaration total.... Just got to hope that I can bowl them out twice over the next two days.

Maxkarter added 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds later...

End of Over 63 (6 runs). BFN Bombers: 360-1, runrate=5.71
Crowther 11-0-81-0
Surmon* 148 (161 balls)
Teasdale 179 (165 balls)
Last Wicket: Porter c. Byfield b. Lisbie 24 (FOW: 59/1)

Scratch that, it appears I do have a declaration total! Pity, my batsmen were dominating and could have really set up a massive first innings score. Now it's upto Samuel and Co. to get rid of an ex-U19 batsmen and from there destroy them.

Boring match. Will make it last three days for money.

I dunno, if you decide to see him how much will you sell him for? I need a back-up pacer or if there good enough I'll rotate them.

Playing a bot so I rested some blokes but my back-up bowling is terrible. they are 2-135 atm after I got all out for 438.

 

[Maxkarter]

2.2 W Samuel to Anthony
Anthony chips the ball towards midwicket where Kelly takes a quite magnificent diving one-handed catch. No doubt about that one. Can I hear the sound of their innings derailing? Or is that just a vacuum cleaner in the next room?

I sure hope it's the former and not the latter.....

End of Over 5 (Maiden). Arsenal : 14-1, runrate=2.80 (1st Inn: 180-10)
Trail by 166 runs. (BFN Bombers 360-1 dec)
Samuel 3-2-1-1
Meadows* 11 (11 balls)
Lisbie 0 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Anthony c. Kelly b. Samuel 3 (FOW: 8/1)

I hope I can get them out for a similarly miserly total again, need all the PFL I can get, not to mention morale!

 

[Maxkarter]

End of Over 42 (Maiden). Arsenal : 98-10, runrate=2.33 (1st Inn: 180-10)
Trail by 82 runs. (BFN Bombers 360-1 dec)
Samuel 8-5-7-2
Beechers* 0 (4 balls)

There we go, won by an innings and 82 runs. Still unbeaten in FC but that's going to change when a I throw a game or two.....
