I won last night in a close game. I made 4/183 and they made 3/179.

Today they made 3/194 and I made 9/175. I won 2/3 in the t20's this week though.

Remembering I played the top of the table in my BT20 comp, played all of my reserves, and was on take it easy, IMO restricting them to 166 was a good effort. I didn't expect to win, but Seddon's 66 got me to 104 - the next highest score being 9 from the number ten!

Should have known my opponent would rest his players. Oh well bowled him out for 56 with Fernades taking 5-12 chased it down in 9.1 overs.

Played a second team today. I left out Fox, Oakley, Bowker, Van-Geersdaele, Plummer, Phindile and Dodge. But everyone that was in the team was pretty good. It's a good second XI imo.

I bowled them out for 89 then chased down the runs in 12.1 overs. I opened with Morrison and he got 42* (31) to back up his 2-15. Fair effort.

I beat the top team in my OD league today, making 268 batting first (Nissanka 60, Coutts 79*), and bowled them out for 250 (Bignot 5/31).

Really, really happy with that performance. It was my first win from 3 games against him.

Playing the best FC team next match. Hopefully I get some good pops tomorrow to improve the side against him.

0.5 W Wotton to Mcclory
Wotton pitches the ball on off and it swings just the right amount to send Mcclory back to the pavillion

Wicket Maiden to start the match, he then pre ceeded to bowl another maiden. So has figures of 0-1 at the moment off 2.

Bought a few days ago, has a high primary but low secondarys, bought him mainly has a bot destroyer and because he was on the cheap. took 5-15 in my last T20 game which was also his debut.

Sorry if you played your second team, Syl. I've been hell busy lately and forgot to set my orders. :o

Haha no worries, my batting is in collapse mode again, similar to what I experienced a few seasons ago.

I love both my batsman and bowlers ....btw my bowlers are better than my batsman

Funknath added 5 Minutes and 48 Seconds later...

0.4 . Sanders to Vivekanand
Text book figure nine from the batsman. Played back down the pitch.
0.3 . Sanders to Vivekanand
If all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players, Sanders would have won an Oscar for that delivery, which whistled past the outside edge. A lovely ball, but no wicket.
0.2 . Sanders to Vivekanand
Great stop by the cover fielder, no run taken.
0.1 . Sanders to Vivekanand
Blast! I've just spilled my coffee into my lap... I was going to say a much worse word but I was reminded that we have children in the audience. At least I didn't miss much as I see the scorers have added a dot ball to the book.

A good start by my bowler so far

Funknath added 0 Minutes and 41 Seconds later...

and next ball i get smashed for 6 :

Funknath added 5 Minutes and 50 Seconds later...
