Watkins 10-0-64-0
Xolani 10-0-61-0

Bridge 10-0-62-0

Very shocking bowling performance.

I did well to keep him to 201. Woods and Fernades were expensive for my liking but my other 3 bowlers stood up in particular Chambers with a 5 fer.

End of Over 11: 47-0, runrate=4.27, reqrunrate=3.97 (201-10)

Haha, Laurent looks class. :sarcasm

Anyone having errors with their games? Mines not working..

Hooper added 4 Minutes and 13 Seconds later...

Thats why... My match is over...

Hate being in such a lowly league, ah well, gives my bowlers good stats I guess.

Bowled the bot for 53 with my second XI and the openers got it. I really wished I batted first, though.

 

[aussie1st]

Finally got my scorecard. Won my match easily since my rival sold his 2 gun bowlers.
Shet continued his good form and showing hes one for the future with 45. Masi my star batter this season ended on a high with 113* and Chav chipped in with a 40 odd.

Novus Ordo Baggy Blues
Top Order: quality wonderful
Middle Order: respectable quality
Lower Order: woeful abysmal
Seam Bowling: masterful sensational
Spin Bowling: strong elite
Fielding: mediocre mediocre

His spin really suffered since the departure of Williams.

 

[mattfb]

Bowled the bot out for 63, and openers got it without a fuss. So glad to be going up and for this season to be over. So many bots made it a tad boring.

 

[Gilly Fan]

What a remarkable turn around to my season. After losing my first 3 games straight, I then went on to win 10 of my next 11 games. If I had won my 2nd match which I forgot to GFI then I would've won and finished 1st. I can feel that next season may be a big season for me. My side is now taking shape to be a threat to win the league.

Last Wicket: Muller c. Porter b. Sloan 1 (FOW: 146/7)

Playing the top team Bazzas, for him to auto-promote, he'd have to beat me by something like 60 runs, atm it looks like I might beat him. I've seen this before though, get him down and then the long tail comes along and puts on another 100 runs. The rest of the managers in my league won't be happy if he doesn't promote, he's a class ahead of the rest of us.

Why didn't you tank then? Or are you worried that the person that replaces him may be even better?

 

[Maxkarter]

He's been pulling masterful ratings the passed few weeks, plus my morale is crap and I've been losing to sides worse than me, so I thought it wouldn't make a difference. At the moment if I win and 2nd wins, he's going to drop to 2nd lol.

Ghandi 8-1-26-3
Allum* 1 (18 balls)

 

[FreddieFan]

Was worried about whether it would be worth playing my first team today, as I have some fitness issues and an important game on Sunday - if I lose I won't be impressed! I'm second, playing third, but we're equal on points so the winner will take second. Despite my concerns, I've made a good start:

End of Over 1: 1-2, runrate=1.00
Duncan 1-0-1-2
Rossouw* 0 (0 balls)
Downing 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Thebe b. Duncan 0 (FOW: 1/2)

 

[Maxkarter]

And that's the end of the match. BFN Bombers won by 6 wickets.
Bazzas 165-10
BFN Bombers 167-4

And so the monster drops to 2nd in the league thanks to me! Oh well, at least that means we don't get any monsters that are 5th/6th in Div II as the team who have now won the league have no chance at all of winning their play-off.

EDIT: Nah, 2nd place managed to lose, so Bazzas wins the league but faces a play-off.....

BFN Bombers Bazzas
Top Order: strong masterful
Middle Order: sensational wonderful
Lower Order: woeful feeble
Seam Bowling: exceptional miraculous
Spin Bowling: exceptional phenomenal
Fielding: proficient competent

Not bad eh?

Not bad eh?

Not bad at all.

Was than on PAN? If so dam your batting has improved a lot since we last met!
