From The Pavlova

Red Dwarf is selling a half decent one on the TM now if anyone is interested

 

Should be a comfortable win:

L. Sharman 10-1-36-3, S. Botten 45 (64b), C. Wright 0 (0b)

End of over 40 (12 runs) - The Slack Caps(169-5). 19 runs required from 10 overs. RR 4.22 RRR 1.90

 

Put on a sneaky bid just to keep in the loop!

 

How did you lose against them?

 

Won both today... looking and 2nd or 3rd in both.
Should be reasonable prize money to buff my balance for spending.
Will have a number of players retiring this year... will be sad to see them go.

Khan should be a front runner for best bowler!
The top is a guy promoting and the rest were miles back on averages!

The standard of my league is so pitiful. Look at the stats of my batsman at the top of the run scorers list:

Loving that average!!!
It's laughably high!

 

Van Noortwijk against these teams = carnage as well. Some really average left arm medium is beating him on the top wicket takers list though.

he is hands down better though!

Look at that average!!!

And conceded runs!!!

 

Had them at 41-4 after 10 odd overs. Sunny/Dry and my fastie doing some serious damage at the time. 3 for 16 or something. Spinners came on and then let them build and now they're 131-5. Poulier and Bazil not having the impact I'd hoped of them. Went with the risk of playing one less seamer and put in Gajanayake. He's bowled very economically but all 5 wickets thus far have gone to the seamers. 2 for Boyle and 3 for Johnston.

Just as I write this, Bazil gets one. Big wicket.

M. Bazil 8-1-31-1, D. Mahatma 16 (10b), K. Hakim 0 (0b)
End of over 36 (5 runs) - XS2(136-6) RR 3.78

Yesss.

 

never train to wc/wc

my finger spinner has been at 19,000 wage (i.e. close to wc/wc one would think) all season but yet has had 10 weeks of bowl/bowl tech w/ gifted talent and still isn't there.

poo

 

Fucking tailenders in and my exceptional spinners can't close. FFS.

Actually no, he had a pure bat at 7. Aaaaand he's gone. Poulier

 

I think that team I spent ages getting ready by building cash for a season got deleted for inactivty...

Shame, waste of that awesome $50k buy

 

Poulier cleaning the tail as per usual. Boosting his average.

Z. Salih 1-0-12-0, G. Athanaze 11 (3b), B. Sanjeewa 1 (3b)
End of over 1 (12 runs) - Dogs of War XI(12-0). 186 runs required from 49 overs. RR 12.00 RRR 3.80

Athanaze not fucking around.
