What's worrying about that score, is that my OD best score is 409, meaning I have just beaten it, in FC mode in 50 overs.

Unless I collapse, this is a draw.

Cue collapse.

My plan of taking the game to a third day only just worked!! I bowled them out for 45 on the first day, so I set my dec target at 1000 on day 2 so I could bat the whole day and use the third day to bowl them out.
I made 1002-1 on the second day, but seemed to have reached it with about an hour to spare, so they came out to bat. They finished the day on 26-7! But the third day will be played and I will get extra gate receipts :)

606-2 dec, got them all out for 379, i'm 213-1 hoping to get to 400 quick and bowl them? :P

Are you setting your batsmen to 'very attacking'?

How they got 565 is almost beyond me at this point.

They turned into England overnight! :(

Reached the 400 fairly quick (27 overs ish)

Was expecting it to go near the end based on first innings performance, but no...look at this!

And that's the end of the match. Wideboys CC won by 592 runs.

AWESOME :)

Nice :)
I won in the end by around 950ish runs! Totally ridiculous! One batsman got 544 not out, another got 250ish!!!
Now only a 7 point gap between me and 1st, and they are my last opponents too :)

168 - 0 today

the OD is of no interest anymore this season - I should win both but can't improve on 3rd place.

Perhaps I should have rested more players to try and ensure 1st in FC

Only got my team yesterday, but it was so rubbish I had to dump most of the players.

Currently bowling. Or fielding. Or whatever it's called when not batting.
