The ME seems to do that. If you get too low a total then your bowling might give you hope but the ME always seems to decide that you're going to lose one way or another. I think it realises that it's the hope that kills you.

It certainly is

You could knock me down with a feather!!! Stuck my reserves out today for fatigue management, and they only pulled off a ridiculous win - didn't even need my two alrounders to bat to get home!:

I've barely won a match 'against the ratings' in 3 seasons, and when I finally win one, it's with a 52k deficit!!!

LOL, took until my next match for the ME to revert to type. As usual having better spinners and better fielding on a spinning wicket acts as a disadvantage!

Away against an experienced Inchigeela Angels side today, lost the toss and having a bowl on windy/flat. Have tended to struggle against these opps away in the past, normally due to the fact that they wrack up huge opening partnerships! Hopefully we can make a decent start with the ball, but I'm not all that confident I have to say.

Things looked a bit ominous at 157-1 just before drinks, but we've come storming back to bowl them out for 247 in 46 overs. They have a high quality bowling attack, so far from game over, but have to be very happy with that score on flat.

WC Summary quick, the ME is really really taking the CENSORED the last few weeks.
