England League and Cup Discussion

[spark]

After a heavy defeat last week against the best side in the league, we need to get back to winning ways.

J. Westerveld (rfs) 4-0-36-1, A. Brogan 18 (10b), D. Boyce 1 (2b)
End of over 20 (13 runs) - Leyland Lions(125-7) RR 6.25

Uneven pitch and the bowling was okay but I'd say it's fairly even. Rush took 3-22 and Bruce 3-28.

A. Njeru (rm) 2-0-17-0, N. Gera 1 (2b), A. Dotson 11 (12b)
End of over 7 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(49-2). 77 runs required from 13 overs. RR 7.00 RRR 5.92

Lost a couple of wickets including my key player Mills and our run rate is starting to decrease.

I would say 50/50 today.

110 for 5, can't see us defending that total. Only six runs between our best two batsmen really hurt us.

T. Julian (rfs) 4-0-35-2, C. Paton 1 (1b), B. Issa 1 (1b)
End of over 20 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(171-4) RR 8.55

Dry pitch and a fantastic innings by Best with 104 runs from 63 balls. There were a few drops in there including Best when he was on 10.

A. Diaz (rfm) 3-0-12-1, M. Moyle 5 (8b), A. Bettington 22 (23b)
End of over 6 (2 runs) - Relegation reprobates(37-1). 135 runs required from 14 overs. RR 6.17 RRR 9.64

I need my spinners to perform well now.

Best figures were 3-28 by Hodges but the best bowling was really from Diaz with 2-16. Best was the star of the show though with his ton to set up the win.

Not even close! Thrashed on a cloudy/Uneven by a team with only 1 F/FM bowler. Remind me why I bother setting tactics again?

Someone may have made a mistake with this pitch

105 for 3 from 20 overs, our two best batsmen by some distance have both gone to their RFM's swing talent!

Well, that's game over for us then!

B. Attard (rm) 7-0-42-1, A. Dotson 4 (3b), J. Hicks 19 (16b)
End of over 38 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(198-4) RR 5.21

Slow pitch so this is a decent effort. House hit 63 from 95 balls and had much help for his accumulator talent. Gera hit 81 from 79 balls and had much help from being a very nice batsman. I guess credit should also go to his prodigy talent too as he was bought for 3k and is now an expert/outstanding bat with accomplished fielding at the age of 20 (and a bit).

G. Ramshaw (rm) 8-0-50-1, M. Rinaldi 4 (2b), A. Hope 6 (6b)
End of over 40 (8 runs) - wolfberries(238-9) RR 5.95

Not sure we have the bowling to defend this.

L. Bruce (rfs) 4-0-19-0, J. Reed 38 (51b), B. Monty 28 (51b)
End of over 20 (1 run) - Snakey's Kent Stars(94-1). 129 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.70 RRR 6.45

I would have liked some more wickets. I think we might be in danger of losing this now.
