Cawood is a spinner

[Highlander999]

It's ok Funkanth, I'll let your entry in

 

[hedger_14]

Damn. You bowled first yesterday so you only scored 70 runs. Now you need to score 190-214.5 runs a match on average, I think.

It's ok Funkanth, I'll let your entry in

Thanks a ton Tom

20/20 Results for the Week​

As was expected for this week, the Lions thrashed their opposition in the three 20/20 matches that took place this week. In each match, manager Tom Baker played the same XI and that XI dominated. These were the XI gentlemen who took part:

Lions XI for 20/20 Matches

1. Morne
2. Jitendrasinhji
3. Wren
4. Koller
5. Lee *
6. Hollis +
7. Manders
8. Tenius
9. Goodhead
10. Vineetha
11. Cawood​

In each match the Lions won by 10 wickets, showing how the bowlers cut through the opponets batting line-ups and how the openers quickly and effectively knocked the runs required away.

Rather then boring you with match reports, here are the scorecards from the 3 matches:

Manders was able to play in these matches and he really shone with the ball taking 12 wickets and only conceding 19 runs in the 3 matches combined. That lad has real talent and his first international wicket must surely just be around the corner.

All this means that the Lions are top of their 20/20 league and their Net RR is impressive to say the least!!!

The finance department will be pleased as well, with ?95,642 being taken in gate receipts from the 3 games which easily covers any running costs the club have for the week.



The Lions must now focus on tomorrow's OD game vs Tamilz at Tamilz CG. Tamilz have lost all their OD games so far this season and are a pretty weak team so manager Tom Baker had decided to rest key players Carlton Manders, Darren Ingham and Scotty Burns and is gonna give some of the reserve bowlers a go, who so far have had a busy week. Here is the XI which will be travelling to Tamilz CG

Lions XI vs Tamilz: OD

1. Mcbean
2. Ashmore
3. Hollis +
4. Tailor
5. Rigby (on debut)
6. Lee
7. Pretorius
8. Cawood
9. Roper *
10. Tenius
11. Goodhead​

Steve Rigby makes his debut for the Lions batting at 5, though it is more then likely he won't be needed as the top order should be more then a match for the Tamilz bowling attack. Needless to say, the Lions don't want to be over-confident and should look to make this a comprehensive victory, because as they were proven last season, Net run-rate can decide promotion!!!
