Pretty average matchup for you to get first up, probably the strongest team in the league

I have had a bad start on a crumbling deck, failing to make any headway

End of over 11 (2 runs) - Diving Falcons(54-0) RR 4.91

Dreamers have Northug on the back foot but its a sticky wicket

End of over 11 (4 runs) - Northug XI(39-2) RR 3.55

Thanks Jim.

Thanks, Muff, for putting on this competition.

That's about as good as I could have hoped for. That being said, I don't particularly fancy my chances of chasing it down. Only once this season did I score above 220.

No worries, it was this or renaming some of my players to kiwi sports stars.

Im ok with this, he has 4 seamers so I should be in with a shot at chasing that down.

Northug should be happy with that on a sticky wicket

A. Hawke (lws) 8-1-43-3, T. Donnelly 1 (1b), N. Hoeft 11 (10b)
End of over 40 (7 runs) - Northug XI(186-8) RR 4.65

If I was up against more spinners I probably would have lost after starting 2-22 chasing on a crumbling deck but ended up being a cruise with Muggleton anchoring the innings

Realism Ravens won by 6 wickets

Not a bad effort, led by Raymer's 123, but as I figured the total I was chasing was a little bit out of reach.

Dippy Dog and Mancell put on a very good stand for my lot, to set a decent target for The Doc


all change for next week after EOS

My boys have started well against good old Reff, who I join in div1 over in Safferland next season

0.1 W Donnelly to Guy : [runout] Nips back in sharply and Guy gets hit high on the pad. Gilmour tries to sneak a run, whilst a loud confident appeal for lbw is turned down. Guy sends him back, but it's all too late. Messenger picks the ball up at short third man and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end.

Too strong for Reff this time but will be interesting to see what happens from here on
