If Chewie wins (which i wish him luck to win), then how about a youth friendly betwixt you and me Akshay?

huh, looking for your first win over me.

That's why I prefer OD and T20.:P

 

[Varun]

Probably not. My youth rating has lowered by 10K after the last season. It's now like 65000 something.

----------

That's more for fun.

Okay as you wish, though my rankings in youth are like 50k now.
I'll end up losing.

 

[Chewie]

haha my bad

But surely jdeus or ste is still in the cup?

I am but it will be a closely run thing so I might be knocked out tomorrow

 

[Chewie]

My opposition are going pretty well at the moment. They're 153/6 after 39.5 overs on a crumbling pitch in windy weather. My spinners are doing pretty well but my opening bowlers went for over 4 an over. Hopefully I can get them for less than 180. That should be reasonably achievable. He only has one spinner that will exploit the conditions but its a wrist spinner. Thankfully his rating is only 8k, so he'd be outstanding/outstanding probably. He has a couple of 12k and 13k fast bowlers though so I'm not looking forward to them.

 

[Iridium]

I'm pretty sure you'll chase 209 down. You're off to a quick start so that's good.

 

[Chewie]

On this pitch though, his spinner will be very dangerous. Need to negotiate the middle overs without losing too many wickets

 

[Iridium]

169/5 now. With only 40 runs needed, I'd still say you're ahead.

Ha! Your opponent has Luke Skywalker on his team. I should sell him Obi-Wan then he can have 2 Jedis in his bowling attack.

 

[Chewie]

He has Han solo too lol. Looking like I might lose now =(

----------

Man that was incredibly close but we got over the line right at the end. The ninth wicket fell with ten runs needed, but tindall hit two boundaries after a couple overes of tense defense. Through to the fourth round in my first dig in the pavilion cup =D out rated by 5k as well

 

[hedger_14]

Lucky you have my great batsman.... I mean bowler

haha, even though he has atrocious batting, he can bat well when needed and under pressure.

 

[Iridium]

1 wicket. Close is right. Well done though. Wonder who your next opponent will be.

 

[Chewie]

Probably MIB Talents Academy (or whatever his name is). He rates high 190s normally...

 

[ste_mc_efc]

still in the cup and started well today

End of over 30 (12 runs) - Tom Jones Enthusiasts(154-3) RR 5.13
E. Mitchell 28 (32b) , A. Ingram 54 (68b) , S. Jay 10-1-54-2

12th seed in the next round if I win, so likely that next week is my last.
