Rose 1-1-0-2
Wonnacott* 0 (1 balls)
Roache 0 (0 balls)

of late my bowlers haven't been performing up to scratch... things not going so well after losing the toss...

End of Over 11: 54-0, runrate=4.91

need to win handily to keep my hold on NRR. Don't want to have to play a qualifyer.

End of Over 11: 30-4, runrate=2.73
Rose 1-1-0-0
Futcher* 5 (26 balls)
Gibb 0 (7 balls)


and my bowlers have decided they are just going to throw the ball down the wicket, instead of trying to get wickets. oh well. i'll win this one.

Bot stomp. 378-77. My second batter hit 187, third hit 131. Fun stuff.

Also, looking at our stats since they fixed the inflated reporter's summaries, I'm much less surprised that I beat the series leaders a couple weeks ago.

not a wicket in sight...

End of Over 16: 70-0, runrate=4.38


but with the spinners operating we've slowed the run rate in the last 8overs...

Coutts 4-0-11-0
Calcutt 4-0-12-0

one more spinner to come, my allrounder.

i was pissed about the ratings thing for like 5 minutes because my spinner put up an exquiste rating. But then i realized it is all relative, so it doesn't really matter.

What a difference spinners make. In the 11 overs since spin has been introduced they went from:

End of Over 10: 49-0, runrate=4.90
to
End of Over 21: 83-0, runrate=3.95

decent... no wickets, but decent.

3 spinners... as soon as one of my quicks came back the rr jumped back up, but its not too bad... anything less than 260 should allow me to increase my NRR.

End of Over 32: 137-1, runrate=4.28

I played a guy I destroyed at his grounds - this time he manages to bowl me out for a 159 - ouch! Needless to say - I lost badly.
