My match today is almost over.

Playing TIE I scored 324-2 and my opponent is 148-9.

This should boost my runrate and push me up the promotion ranking, but not close enough to auto-promote as I lost last week.

I am trying sets of 5 for my bowlers today, seems to be working out ok.

Well finally got the last wicket at 205. Quite a last wicket stand for him.

Bowlers not taking wickets, but managing to restrict the scoring rate... I'd really hope for more than 2 wickets after 25 overs though...

End of Over 20: 69-2, runrate=3.45

2 quick wickets and things are looking much better... should have a target of less than 180 to chase. Which likely means no 100s for any of my batsmen.

Played TIE at home to the top team expecting an absolute bruising - ended up winning comfortably

It was a major WTF match - check out the ratings!

Sherwood CCC Guernsey XI
Top Order: mediocre strong
Middle Order: mediocre competent
Lower Order: abysmal woeful
Seam Bowling: competent competent
Spin Bowling: respectable superb
Fielding: feeble feeble


Obviously I got very lucky but i'd like to think some of the major tactical changes I made for this match had something to do with it.

This really made my day - I reckon my chances of staying up just about quadrupled

Elding's figures
8-1-10-3

we got em on the ropes.. 9 wickets down... Elding should end it here.

I'm giving Seargeant the day off against a bot (he was due for a rest). I shifted my normal fourth-order man into the opener slot, and it's paying off... he's on a century with better than a run-per-ball strike rate. Hopefully, I'll still put up a big enough target to hold my NRR lead over 2nd place in the series.

This is some interesting flavor text: "Yes, got him! Shove that up your arse Tony Grieg. Simply marvellous effort! What a hero! Knocked the middle stump clean out of the ground!"

Laurent gone after posting 126 on 125 balls.

finally ended the innings on a runout of all things...

End of Over 44: 132-10, runrate=3.00

now to get to 132 after 15overs...
