I'd like to say I hope you get better opposition next Friday, although given that I'm getting smashed, you might not :lol:

I think Topmen might be a fair amount better than my side so you're bound to do a lot better. I suspect it'll be you who are doing the smashing next week.

Also I was hoping to have a little mini run in the cup (although I don't think I can rate much higher than 220k) but if I make it to round 3 I might struggle against my opponent!

258k rating, simply can't get close to that, especially bowling first on a sticky!
I'm still debating what to do for the cup, I need to try and get T20 back into D1 but with an old squad the cup may just get in the way.

Result: wolfberries won by 1 run

Went for a swim at the gum so didn't get to watch the whole game, so it was a nice surprise to see we had sneaked a victory by just one run.

Probably best for my blood pressure that I hadn't seen it live...

Monsieurflibble's men got a great result this time last week so it's should be a tough match.

We've been made to bat first in difficult batting conditions.

End of over 8 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(42-0) RR 5.25

After about 3 seasons of rubbish batting it looks like I've found Evans' ideal batting position.

Like the new youth age system but we are about to drop off a cliff with promotions, our top order batting will resemble jelly and certainly YOD 1.1 will be a struggle. Sticky is a toss of a coin today, depends if you get Whiteside and McLarty early.

Unfortunately after a fantastic start their bowlers have put the breaks on, still a decent score so far in the conditions.

I've lost my best bat this week and will lose arguably my best spinner next but after that it's a few weeks where we'll be pretty stable.

As can be the case on a sticky pitch, things have gone very badly very quickly. Clarke is still in so anything is possible.

A decent bash at the end and then its runs on the board though. 120 will be tricky and the fat lady can start singing if we are 2 for 2 after 1.

Will take this score, very happy but not sure whether we can defend it.

It's looking like it could be an interesting end. The RRR isn't impossible but it's also defendable on a sticky pitch.

Close overall ratings and a close game. I think 3 wickets from the penultimate over got me the win there.

Lost again due to No Balls, second game on the run we've lost because of this. Need to put a stop to them if we are to avoid relegation.
