FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[Chewie]

But now you're 105/4. Mind you that's better than I did.

lol they were similar conditions and you got bowled out for 100 haha

I suppose those it's easier to get bowled out for low totals when batting second. He'll probably chase down my total in like 30 overs or something ridiculous.

I can take hope from the fact that he lost to Baggy Blues last week despite having a 16k match rating advantage.

 

[Iridium]

Speaking of Baggy Blues, I'm getting my head kicked in by him. He's currently 235/3 after 47 overs.

Are you implying girls can't play cricket?

Sexist.

You missed an 'e' between i and s.
With so many of Indian players having such names,i wonder if FTP is an inter-gender cricket league.

Anyway,got a really interesting and important game coming up in about an hour.
Both of us had a very similar rating (135,210 and 135,470 i think) in the last game.
15 day PM for the runners up

Oh heard my team name Didn't even knew I beat jdeus, kinda of wrote this season off after all my losses but brilliant to get one over him!

 

[Iridium]

3 wickets in 3 balls. That's probably game over for me.

 

[Chewie]

I got surprisingly close to beating jdeus too. I got to 184 in my 50 overs, no decent contributions from anyone though.

He won in 45 overs by 4 wickets so if I had gotten one more wicket earlier, he could have been in trouble. Curtin was expensive and let us down.

 

[Iridium]

2 more wickets down. 128 required from 11 over. That's sealed it.

 

[hedger_14]

OMG, 312/5 against Wanderers. Stephen Byrne, what a legend. 146 off 137 balls while O'Leary made some runs against his old club with 58 and Ali also made 48. Not going great with the ball but it's about even at the moment, 88/1 after 14 overs.

 

[AkshayS]

Back after taking a long break, actually I was in the hospital getting treatment for Typhoid.

Though things have turned against me in FTP, my team lost it's one youth match now too, bad days coming up.

 

[hedger_14]

Well 3 quick wickets and they are 128/4 after 21 overs. Going pretty well now.

 

[hedger_14]

Big upset now on the cards. 192/6, they are. Still another 121 runs to win.

Fiebig is having another fantastic game. After taking 4/8 in the T20, he is currently 3/39 from 9 against a team way better than his own after scoring 19* in their innings.

And a dropped catch off the bowling of Phillips. O'Leary has dropped both catches for the team. Match fixing maybe for his old club

hedger_14 added 9 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Well it should be all over now. 226/9, still another 87 runs to win, off 9.1 overs.

Aditya's team seems helpless. We're going above 6 an over on a sticky pitch.

 

[Chewie]

I'm 223/1 after 25 overs lol. Hopefully I can break my record and get past 480 (I think)

Also I managed to pull a 5k crowd to a home game. Next season I'm probably going to increase the ground size by a few thousand seats.

 

[Chewie]

Made it to 492/4 from my 50 overs lol 2 of the wickets were run outs as well.

Duranjaya made 164 and Emery made 152. We should be able to bowl them out for like 100 or so

 

[Iridium]

Iridium XI 178 for 2 (Lindsay 111*, Weerasiri 49) beat ND 177 (Headlam 42, Garrick 3-31) by 8 wickets

Won the toss and chose to bowl. Started of well reducing ND to 68/7 after 21 overs. After that the bowlers let them slip a little finally dismissing them in the 49th over for 177.

No issues chasing the target down. Lost Goodwin early for 10. Lindsay and Weerasiri combined for a 115-run partnership, with Lindsay going on to score 111*, his third century of the season.

This win should add yet another boost to my NRR.
