My openers both got tons as I won by an innings and 199 runs. My keeper got his first ton and Biggins took 5-25.

I wasn't even aware I was playing today. I forgot to set my orders!

At least I'm playing a bot. Hopefully my dire team can come away with a win.

You'll be find.

Got destroyed by Gibbs, 3 wickets so far. I just hope my bowlers can do the same.

Nice bowling guys.

Time to chase it down without losing a wicket.

 

[aussie1st]

Perkins and Masi the only batters to make a contribution.

Good start, hopefully a few more wickets in this opening spell.

 

[aussie1st]

Wow finally my bowlers are performing against Novus.

Last Wicket: Kemp b. Stanton 31 (FOW: 72/4)

I've never beaten this team and if I do beat them today then the chance of auto-demotion is decreases.

14.2 W Stanton to Nutter
Slower delivery and he went for the pull. Hadland gets in under it at mid wicket, and out.

The loosing streak against this team looks like coming to an end. 5 down now! Hopefully I'm not celebrating too early.

 

[aussie1st]

LH are you trying to promote to Div 3?

Another great 10 over spell with Fernades going for 4 runs in 5 overs and Sawyer grabbing 2 wickets.

End of Over 20: 43-7, runrate=2.15, reqrunrate=3.07 (134-10)

LH are you trying to promote to Div 3?

No way! I'm currently coming 7th. Assuming I win today, I'll probably be coming 6th. My first season in Div 4 was last season and I did really good finishing 3rd but now teams that have either come down from Div 3 or come up from Div 5 (who are probably more prepared then I am, are dominating my competition).

End of Over 20: 101-5, runrate=5.05, reqrunrate=7.50 (325-3)
Clunnie 5-0-22-0
Tiatto* 6 (21 balls)
Powell 28 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Nutter c. Hadland b. Stanton 5 (FOW: 82/5)

The RRR is above 7, which is starting to look promising for my team. Stanton bowled a great spell of 2/18 off 5. I wish he could keep bowling but I'm using 'sets of 5'.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh misread it lol. Sounds like your Div 4 league is more like the standard div 4 Aus league now.

The tail has given me some nervous moments of a miracle win but should have it now.

End of Over 30: 68-9, runrate=2.27, reqrunrate=3.35 (134-10)
Mampe 10-2-27-3
Charl* 5 (11 balls)

Forgot my orders so played my default team which is my best - which I didn't want to do as I'm against a bot. Oh well, made 2-305 with Oakley toning up and Maguire following suit with them getting 104 and 126* respectively.

Thy are 6/119 - Dodge 2, Phindile 2 and 2 run outs.

Yeah, the standard is much harder. The lack of a star batsmen (most of my batsmen are the strong-quality range) and a spinner probably haven't helped this season either.

 

[Jakester1288]

Won by 9 wickets. Raisani fell with only a couple of runs left, for 69. Newton 70*, Mulvaney 1*.

 

[mattfb]

This is getting pretty boring tbh, almost everyone in my group is a bot. Does the top team in fc and the top 2 teams in OD get promoted?
