Very good win. I thought we were on for a big win when we scored 275 but the bowlers (and keeper) made hard work of it. Impressive stuff from Rodgers!

Our first Div 2 tour with my hapless arse and rogue large and in charge is a success in my book.

Yes, sir! Three ducks in a row from Rodgers for a total of 11 runs in the tour. The reason? Could be because I put him in the hot spot every time.

I'm confident we can do better next time. Fingers crossed I can get a decent phone so I can adjust orders during the day...

Good start to the U19s T20 campaign against Zimbabwe. Highest match ratings in the division too.

Ireland player run out first ball of the match going for a 3rd run. That can't happen too often.

[spark]

And he's visible, an absolute gun of a player.

Yeah, very good. A keeper playing as a batsman too. A bit better than my player Baxter. I think Baxter will end up playing more U19 internationals as a keeper than he will youth games as a keeper for my team, which I find kind of funny. Understandable but a bit weird nonetheless.

Great result against Ireland, guys. Keep up the good work.

Well, that was a bit disappointing. Those 2 Netherlands batsmen just went crazy in the last 4 overs and 154 was always likely to be too much for our batsmen.

Great start to the match as we reduced Scotland to 13-4 but we let them get far too many (150-6) considering the position they were in. We started our reply a little slowly by scoring 12 runs in the first 3 overs but we were back in the chase after 10 overs (71-3). But 11 runs in the next 4 overs killed our chances (82-5) and from there we did well to only lose by 6 runs.

At least we can't get relegated. It was another good performance from Hall though and Rodgers did well to score 42.

R. Ramjet (rfm) 4-0-19-1, J. Cash 31 (22b), F. Goatwomble 0 (1b)
End of over 20 (7 runs) - USA(142-8) RR 7.10

That should give us a chance to win. We'll need to bowl well though.

F. Goatwomble (rfm) 1-0-9-0, M. Diablo 36 (24b), G. Yubari 34 (32b)
End of over 9 (9 runs) - West Indies(72-0). 71 runs required from 11 overs. RR 8.00 RRR 6.45

Looks like West Indies will do this easily.

[spark]

West Indies won by 10 wickets.

Not exactly close. I didn't think 142 was that bad a score.

[Philly]

At least we can't get relegated.

Always look on the bright side of life

coming into the last game we had no mathematical chance to make top two and promote, so I selected players with the least experience and didn't even look at the orders. it was a nothing game.

we were competitive for the first 4 games, but with only one of them returning a win were just didn't take our chances. I think there were a few issues with the squad we selected, but the next tour will be better because our squad is awesome…
