Subject: Battrick

---

Having a perfect season so far. I'm kind of hoping to keep it up all the way though, but may fail to do that in the cup, Pob may perhaps be a little too much for me.

ok first day in FC today, they're batting first...


End of Over 94 (4 runs). Burnley: 258-8, runrate=2.74
Riches 19-4-39-3
Hartburn* 0 (4 balls)
Brown 7 (12 balls)

I had to sell an opening batsman to avoid bankruptcy, and I don't have many decent batsmen, so I might yet lose this.
(edited)

got my opponent all out for 70, currently going at a steadyish 3 rr. 141-0

Battrick sounds like Hattrick with all this bankruptcy talk!

nah, it's just me being careless with me money, most teams with decent players have millions in the bank.

a steady day - not much of a score considering the pancake of a wicket but a draw should be highly possible. I will set my boy to agressive batting ifthey stay in the rest of the day

End of Over 102 (4 runs). Leeds Apathetical: 344-5, runrate=3.37
Bevan 19-2-82-1
Swales* 30 (79 balls)
Dyer 56 (122 balls)
Last Wicket: Lindiwe c. Julian b. Craig m 20 (FOW: 269/5)

Not looking too good here - he's already skittled me out once, and is looking to do so again !

End of Over 5 (Maiden). Garboldisham Casuals: 15-2, runrate=3.00 (1st Inn: 95-10)
Trail by 155 runs. (Burnley 265-10)

batted first got up too 785 for 4 onthe first day so put my dec target up too 1200 which i achieved for the lose of 6.got them out for 18 in the first innings at close of play on day 2 they were 66 for 9.

think i might just win this one.

went better than expected
364-6 became 472-8 dec today

and their reply is 218-10 and 13-0 - I have the day to get 10 more and the weather is deteriorating - could get my first win of the season!

/tempting fate

Won easily, as they don't seem to be bothered, should move me out of the bottom 4, I'm doing okish in III, Tench seems to be holding the team together though, batting and bowling wise. The day off will do him good.

Got my first wins in FC and OD this week! Might just start doing well now I'm out of the cup - it's just too hard to do 3 things at once

Was on for a win yesterday then his good bowler struck and got 4 wickets in one over, my top batsman still was not out at the end but fell short by 30 runs.

He now has an average of 715, against good opponents!

Won my OD game by the slightest of margins. :-)

End of Over 27 (3 runs). Leeds Apathetical: 92-1, runrate=3.41

Not a bad start - bit of a knife-edge though, 2 best batsmen in now - what happens if one goes?

There'll be 1 best batsmen standing at the crease...and if...one best batsmen was to accidentally fall, there''ll be no best batsmen standing at the crease!

End of Over 35 (5 runs). Meenans Athletic: 117-5, runrate=3.34
Webb 9-1-31-1
Tierney* 16 (27 balls)
Wilbrahim 2 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Horwood c. Wilson b. Tench 0 (FOW: 110/5)
