Lol, you have a player called, Hooper.

Hooper added 1 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...

Hahahahahaaha! My med/med/med bowler who is a med/feeb/abys batsman just scored 101*.

 

[Highlander999]

Considering the combined wage bill of the two batsmen at the crease is ?63,900, I fully expect them to get him to 360. Not much I can really do now, just play for the draw really. Was gutted to be 1 run short of an extra batting point yesterday

Yup I have a player called Hooper, he has been the best bat till last season

End of Over 136 (1 runs). Killers CC: 479-9, runrate=3.52
Lead by 235 runs. (Drewan Giants 244-10)
Overs left today: 103
Ballard 44-7-145-4
Mccarthy* 48 (111 balls)
Champness 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Vernon Hit Wicket b. Ballard 0 (FOW: 479/9)

Looking to make a tad bigger lead, declaring at 500 so I have time to bowl them out. If I keep batting this slowly I won't have time to get back in and bat again if required.

Mccarthy, hit the ball! You are the senior batsman, you know what you are doing. Go for it!

As I am writing, Vernon goes. 9 down now, tail is on defensive. Fark. C'mon Mccarthy!

Just another thing, Vernon is a spastic, took his own stumps out with the bat. Idiot!

Jakester1288 added 1 Minutes and 7 Seconds later...

And Champness goes for a duck, leaving Mccarthy stranded on 49. Ah, the life of an allrounder batting at 7 with a terrible tail. He did quite a good job to hold the lower order together without support. Well played.

End of Over 137 (1 runs). Killers CC: 480-10, runrate=3.50
Lead by 236 runs. (Drewan Giants 244-10)

Knew it, the BT engine gives no advantage what so ever to a good 1st innings display.

End of Over 11 (6 runs). Baggy Blues: 36-3, runrate=3.27 (1st Inn: 239-10)
Trail by 138 runs. (Sheidow Warriors 94-10 & 319-10)

Bignot 1-0-6-1
Mcveigh* 1 (1 balls)
Joseph 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Sagren c. Salh b. Bignot 5 (FOW: 6/1)

Early wicket. Hopefully I can win by an innings, seeing my smash a really quick handful of runs in the 4th innings would be entertaining though.

Jakester1288 added 3 Minutes and 46 Seconds later...

Another!

End of Over 4 (Maiden). Drewan Giants: 7-2, runrate=1.75 (1st Inn: 244-10)

Bignot 2-1-6-2
Mcveigh* 1 (7 balls)
Banks 0 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Joseph lbw b. Bignot 0 (FOW: 7/2)

Hopefully they don't get the big stands where both bats get 80+ that seem to happen. Joseph saved them last time with a big ton, lucky I got him early this time around.

Jakester1288 added 5 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Bignot gets his 3rd in as many overs!

End of Over 6 (1 runs). Drewan Giants: 11-3, runrate=1.83 (1st Inn: 244-10)

On fire!

Lost Crouch who made a quickfire 41.

End of Over 24 (Maiden). Baggy Blues: 90-4, runrate=3.75 (1st Inn: 239-10)
Trail by 84 runs. (Sheidow Warriors 94-10 & 319-10)

Dyke 3-1-9-1
Chavhanga* 42 (62 balls)
Quintus 1 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Crouch c. Lawyer b. Dyke 41 (FOW: 86/4)

Last known batter is Sawyer so gotta hope these two can get most of the runs and Chav stays there to the end.

 

[Jakester1288]

Getting slapped around now. The partnership has begun. Vernon is rubbish, he's sold, I'll be happy when he can piss off. Fillery to tear them apart when he comes on.

End of Over 16 (7 runs, 4b). Drewan Giants: 66-3, runrate=4.13 (1st Inn: 244-10)

The ████ bowlers on, lucky my fielder was on the ball this time.

End of Over 22 (5 runs). Drewan Giants: 94-4, runrate=4.27 (1st Inn: 244-10)

Mccarthy 3-0-8-0
Dove* 45 (50 balls)
Oreilly 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Banks Run Out 36 (FOW: 93/4)

Hopefully that will trigger a collapse, when Fillery and my openers come back on.

Fillery strikes, as expected. I should win from here, just need to get that bastard Dove out.
