Busy getting a proper whooping, unfortunately I had to field a weakened team due to the PFL monster coming around last week.

Didn't realise you'd play a much weakened team so I fielded the best possible team fitness permitting. Unfortunately a bit one sided in the end:

BFN Bombers 44 all out
Nicholls 26*
Dimo 5/10

Tassie Titans 0/45
Harshana 24*

BFN Bombers Tassie Titans
Top Order: mediocre superb
Middle Order: proficient remarkable
Lower Order: worthless woeful
Seam Bowling: mediocre superb
Spin Bowling: feeble strong
Fielding: feeble feeble
MOTM: Dimo

That the issue with my team tbh, my 1st XI is good, but the 2nd XI is way way way weaker, I just can't understand how my players tired so much though, everything was going fine.

 

[aussie1st]

Didn't know my orders I set had me batting 1st and playing a guy that has poor PFL. Good thing is hes a bowler so I can move him around.

End of Over 23 (3 runs). Baggy Blues: 57-2, runrate=2.48
Seargeant 6-2-7-0
Perkins* 26 (83 balls)
Chavhanga 18 (26 balls)
Last Wicket: Fincher Run Out 10 (FOW: 16/2)

What a change a week makes, struggling to make any in roads here.

End of Over 17 (3 runs). Hansies Boys: 62-0, runrate=3.65
Trail by 187 runs. (Baggy Blues 249-10)
Chambers 2-0-9-0
Boyle* 27 (50 balls)
Hough 32 (54 balls)

 

[Jakester1288]

Bowled the bot out for 163, Jabulile taking 4/30 and Waters 3/38.

3/198 in reply. Set the declaration target at 375 just after day 1 finished, so if I don't bowl them out for an innings win I have plenty of time to chase them down.

 

[Ollie_H]

End of Over 55 (12 runs). Off Drive: 190-6, runrate=3.45
Abdul kadir 15-2-54-2
Payton* 17 (30 balls)
Stols 64 (99 balls)
Last Wicket: Stifler c. Mellor b. Duff 16 (FOW: 141/6)

It's fair to say that this isn't going completely well, playing the only other human player in my league.

 

[aussie1st]

My bowlers are being owned

End of Over 25 (10 runs). Hansies Boys: 85-0, runrate=3.40
Trail by 164 runs. (Baggy Blues 249-10)
Woods 7-1-35-0
Hough* 37 (79 balls)
Boyle 45 (73 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

Good fightback especially Woods who grabbed 3 wickets in 1 over.

End of Over 87 (Maiden). Hansies Boys: 280-7, runrate=3.22
Lead by 31 runs. (Baggy Blues 249-10)
Woods 20-3-83-3
Neville* 6 (20 balls)
Woodward 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Clegg c. Sawyer b. Woods 0 (FOW: 280/7)

Probably would be less if I bowled Mampe instead of resting him. Sawyer has been God like with 4-25 in 21 overs.

 

[Jaztheman]

Declaring on 360 and hopefully bowl them out by the end of today for easy two day victory. Haven't got a home game in ages, unfortunately.

End of Over 68 (10 runs). Shore Athletic: 285-2, runrate=4.19
Lead by 155 runs. (Shoreham CC 130-10)
Swain 18-1-68-0
Muir* 80 (129 balls)
Wylie 140 (209 balls)
Last Wicket: Macey c. Ogden b. Phelan 53 (FOW: 117/2)

 

[mattfb]

Going into the last day I was in front by 200 so I batted a little and ended up all out for 517 before finishing them for 89 so an easy win.

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like he GFIed.

Pathetic bowling by Fernades he was even rested from FC yet still conceded 62 and he wasn't even opening or closing. That guy is going to get it tonight!

End of Over 3: 15-0, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=4.04 (204-9)
Brittain 2-0-7-0
Masibulele* 9 (12 balls)
Fincher 5 (7 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

If I pull of a win from here, I can finally dispel the BT collapse.

End of Over 41: 168-7, runrate=4.10, reqrunrate=4.11 (204-9)
Brittain 6-0-28-0
Chavhanga* 54 (52 balls)
Woods 2 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Mampe b. Nyikadzino 0 (FOW: 158/7)

 

[mattfb]

Made 2/294 with my new buy Bowker getting 128no at number 3 in his first innings for the club. Oakley toned up as well. Morrison got 3 and so did Phindile. Good effort, about a 150 run win.

 

[Gilly Fan]

End of Over 48: 279-3, runrate=5.81, reqrunrate=12.00 (302-3)
Hougaard 9-1-55-0
Nelson* 17 (11 balls)
Werner 134 (128 balls)
Last Wicket: Underwood lbw b. Seddon 98 (FOW: 232/3)

They need 24 to win from the final 2 overs. The last 2 overs have wielded 25 runs. I should be okay, but Werner is a gun.

Norton scored his 6th hundred for the season. Hitish made 93 on debut.

 

[aussie1st]

Wasn't a major collapse but some of my top order need to take a long hard look at themselves. I've suddenly hit a form slump losing 2 matches in a row. Not great for confidence levels.
