Thanks Spin. I'll post the result tomorrow so you can alter the rankings.

14.5 6 Sheepy to Delop
Delop plays a joyful slog sweep and it looks like it's going all the way. WAIT!!, theres a man under it...... Oh, goodness gracious, Clegg has dropped an absolute dolly out it the deep and carried it over the rope for six. What an utter nutter.

I am not suprised, I mean, look at who his manager is!

Well, I'm having fun smashing Jamesy about...

End of Over 39: 195-1, runrate=5.00
Sheepy 10-0-43-0
Delop* 85 (121 balls)
Dunn 69 (95 balls)

Last Wicket: Cox st. Beenham b. Shipperley 24 (FOW: 41/1)

With Crouch in next, I am hoping for 300. Also am looking forward to Delop getting a well-deserved century. He has hit 3 sixes in it so far!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Not exactly 300, but 283 is fine. Delop missed the century, making 96, but Dunn got one instead.

End of Over 11: 59-3, runrate=5.36, reqrunrate=5.77 (283-2)

Good start by my bowlers, although a tad expensive.

 

[Adarsh]

My playoff match is today, and if I lose, I'll get relegated!! I'm not doing well :crying
End of Over 8: 29-2, runrate=3.63
Jervis 4-0-8-2
Hume* 10 (18 balls)
Holme 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Hoult lbw b. Jervis 0 (FOW: 29/2)

Oh hope u dont lose it

 

[Adarsh]

I hope too. It'll be an awful ending to my season, after the PC battrick league final.

 

[Briggsey]

The team who finished top in my league clearly dont want to get promoted! They are playing a team who on paper would get beat by Spin's team, but he's rested all his best players and playing his second team, After 12 overs the team he was playing was 112-0!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I'm not playing a playoff. Finished in third, so I'm stuck here!!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I won my Playoff does thta mean I go to the next round?

 

[Adarsh]

Yeah, you'll get promoted! Anyway, my game is quite close.

End of Over 33: 151-4, runrate=4.58
Bunce 7-0-25-1
Hume* 67 (90 balls)
Burnip 0 (2 balls)
As the Geniuses' saying goes, don't lose hope while Hume is still batting, or something like that.

If you want to see how a league forum in battrick should be like, look at my league. Just go to preferences and have a look. I'm sure this is one of the, if no the most, liveliest forums in Battrick.

Update:End of Over 48: 223-10, runrate=4.65
Donovan 8-0-58-0
Marsh* 19 (14 balls)

Doesn't look too good. I'm scared.

Barker 6-1-14-1
Heath* 25 (26 balls)
Allan 13 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Donovan Run Out 2 (FOW: 8/3)

Why do play-offs have to be this close?! I fancy myself at this stage though.

Wade 9 (31 balls)

Could go either way

 

[Bilal91]

I came 5th in my league...i was 7th when i came in and after 2 games i went up two places(although i only managed one of the games)...

 

[Adarsh]

I won my game!!

 

[Bilal91]

Congrats mate...

 

[zainawan89]

My cup match today my main batsman got his fifty.

31.1 6 Salem to Haquani
Mistimes his shot but he's a big, powerful man and the ball still flies into the member's area for six.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 33: 158-2, runrate=4.79, reqrunrate=0.59 (167-10)
Shamshad 10-0-46-1
Jamil* 19 (31 balls)
Haquani 60 (61 balls)

near winning
And i TIE this match.

And that's the end of the match. Assassins XI won by 8 wickets.
Gulshan Grovers 167-10
Assassins XI 168-2

So i won my first cup match. A good start to the season. But i am still not happy with my batting.

 

[Adarsh]

I want to make over 350 if I bat first and bowl them under 50. If not 300+ and under 100 would be good enough.

I'm bowling first. OMG!! I set my worthless youth pull from yesterday to open the bowling, by mistake!!!
