CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

Districts off to a very good start.

End of Over 17: 88-1, runrate=5.18
Hamilton 4-0-17-0
Dylan* 49 (54 balls)
Campbell 21 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Keane c. Terry b. Canning 16 (FOW: 46/1)

Indeed. Slightly worrying, am definitely stronger in bowling than batting. Should hopefully reel it in in the next set of ten though.

End of Over 31: 136-1, runrate=4.39
Hamilton 6-0-20-0
Dylan* 76 (90 balls)
Campbell 42 (69 balls)
Last Wicket: Keane c. Terry b. Canning 16 (FOW: 46/1)

Potters and Niz dragged him back a bit, but I really need a wicket. I've got Canning and Potters bowling at the death so the last ten should bring a few wickets, but I could really do with at least one of these out soon.

 

[Nate]

Classic contest this.

 

[andyc]

End of Over 11: 50-0, runrate=4.55, reqrunrate=5.62 (268-4)
Lambert 6-0-35-0
Burger* 19 (31 balls)
Hurren 28 (36 balls)

Canning and Potters did a decent job keeping them down, but I still think it's about 30-40 runs too much. Solid start at least, I just need Burger to up his run rate a bit.

Edit:

End of Over 20: 100-0, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=5.63 (268-4)
Shaka 5-0-16-0
Hurren* 51 (63 balls)
Burger 46 (58 balls)

Pretty sure this is my highest opening partnership this season, Hurren not doing his normal thing of batting way, way too slowly. Going amazingly well for a superb/strong batsman.

 

[Jakester1288]

I don't know who to support.

Just an onlooker.

Good batting here from Ponies, hopefully setting up to score quicker soon.

Yes, I am following this game on BT, FTR.

 

[Jakester1288]

Wicket.

Terry is your best bat, right?

 

[andyc]

Wicket.

Terry is your best bat, right?

Yeah, Terry's my best, but he's only better than Burger by two levels of concentration (sens/mast vs. sens/sens). Terry can sometimes bat a bit too defensively though, hope that doesn't happen today. Canning coming in at 5 is my third best bat and he scores pretty quickly so I'm glad with the platform we've got atm.

 

[Jakester1288]

That over got you over the 5 RPO mark, keep pushing on.

 

[Jakester1288]

End of Over 38: 194-1, runrate=5.11, reqrunrate=6.25 (268-4)
Shaka 9-0-27-0
Burger* 89 (107 balls)
Terry 42 (49 balls)
Last Wicket: Hurren b. Mccammon 55 (FOW: 109/1)

Definitely time to get a move on. What were there settings?

Hopefully someone can attack and score quickly, and if it's not these two, one of them gets out.

 

[andyc]

Hmmm. Burger out, this makes it interesting. Not really expecting Tedstone to do much.

Edit: Jakester, was always going to be slowing down against his better bowlers. Our RR only got that high in the middle because Mccammon was bowling, who looks like a trainee and has pretty ordinary PFLs. Just need to keep wickets in tact for the last 10.

 

[Jakester1288]

And the following over Burger goes. Good knock, hopefully this cautious player with a 31k BT rating (what is he?) can lift the rate.

 

[andyc]

Tedstone really isn't much, he's only batting at 4 for me because I don't want Canning coming in too early. Will probably move down the order next season.

Hamish Tedstone - 28 yo, BT Rating=31,889
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler. He is a cautious player with feeble leadership skills and quality experience.
He currently has woeful batting form, superb bowling form and sublime fitness.
Stamina: strong Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: strong Concentration: proficient
Bowling: quality Consistency: proficient
Fielding: mediocre

 

[andyc]

****. Tedstone goes and Canning follows the very next ball. Big wicket. Feeling pretty nervous now, hopefully Hamilton can do something.

Edit: Hamilton goes, heating up.


End of Over 46: 241-5, runrate=5.24, reqrunrate=7.00 (268-4)
Lambert 8-0-44-1
Terry* 66 (69 balls)
Griffin 1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Hamilton c. De beer b. Lambert 11 (FOW: 239/5)

And Terry out next ball! Smith should take this from here.

 

[Jakester1288]

Tense!

 

[andyc]

****. Maguire goes with me needing 15 to win. Kilkenny (prof/med) in now and he's the last of my batsmen, and is on very attacking. Could go either way.

 

[Jakester1288]

Epic tail ender hacking in that over. Should win from here.

These are still all batsmen, ftr, just not particularly good ones. Only Niz and Potters are specialist bowlers.

 

[Jakester1288]

Epic match, went right down to the wire. Good chase in the end, good total set in the first dig too. Well done Andy!

Good win by the Pones, was a thrilling match. CD are just as gun though.
