End of over 20 (7 runs) - wolfberries(130-7) RR 6.50

Not the worst total and our bowling is better than our batting, yet I would say we are the underdogs still.

Well I'm happy but surprised about todays win, it was our better bowling against Sparks better batting and thankfully we prevailed.

Not sure about the away leg though...

Well played.

I'm a bit disappointed with my batting but we all know it's a bowlers game (and Chudasama was expensive as per usual).

As for the return leg, I might make you favourite depending on if you're losing both Lord and Salvana and who replaces them. I'll be losing arguably my two best bats (Evans, and Whitehead) and I'll still have an overabundance of mediums, which doesn't seem to help much even if I play on green.

Thanks,yes It will be interesting to see how our youth teams have changed for our next game now the youths update weekly.

Next for our game Friday though.

50/50 game today methinks....

136-4 ... happy with that, but still a 50:50 game for sure.

Yes., an amazing innings by Ben Youssef, one innings can win T20. Now I just need one of our batsmen to do a similar thing.

Although I would say you are favourites in these conditions, that total is easily 20 over par.

[eagles123]

close game, we did our best to lose it with 3 late drops but thankfully held on for a 3 run win.

[wolfberries]

Well done, not sure how Ben Youssef didn't get MOM

He basically won the game for you.

Relegation reprobates won by 10 wickets

Sadly, I felt I had to throw the game due to fatigue issues after forgetting to pick a weak team for the MKMC. This could really hurt my chances of staying up in as this was possibly one of the more winnable games. The worst thing is probably I've really hurt my NRR whilst giving Relegation reprobates a boost in that regard.

End of over 40 (7 runs) - Camberwell Carrots(202-5) RR 5.05

Green pitch and that's a tough target to chase. I make Camberwell Carrots the favourites. No-one bowled particularly well although Rush was fairly economical.

[spark]

I thought we were going to coast to victory at 152-0. And then we lost 6 quick wickets to crash to 184-6. Thankfully, we didn't lose another wicket after that and won by 4 wickets.

64 from Evans and 85 by Mills were the key to our batting. Despite the wobble at the end, it was a good chase of a difficult total.
