Today was a bit weird. I opened the bowling on a really flat pitch but their bats were pretty solid and although we kept their RR low, I didn't take a wicket. Got so damn close with a inswinging yorker that missed by a coat of paint. Had another bowling spell later on, a few edges through slip and then I had a ball that actually slipped the stump and din't remove the bail. Sometimes it really isn't your day eh?
Did manage to score 33* batting at 9, but coming in at 130-7 chasing 285 was never going to happen. We did manage to break 200 though, small victories.

My comment was a bit of a joke as my orders are default set for uneven pitches!

Jareds XI won by 49 runs Viride Agricolas Jareds XI Batting - Top Order 8,045 11,161 Batting - Middle Order 7,479 9,265 Batting - Tail 6,788 4,825 Bowling - Seam 8,813 (20) 12,375 (30) Bowling - Spin 8,988 (30) 11,453 (20) Fielding/Keeping 10,160 13,017 Overall 157,536 195,260 All things considered, I did pretty well there. Yeah definitely, wasn't comfortable pretty much at all during the game. I've sent your affiliate a challenge from mine, we rate pretty similar so I think it'd be a good game. Up against Fitzy's team next, he's got the ratings advantage over me so will be a tough one to pull off. edit: I challenged you with the wrong team

R. Veldhoven 7-1-35-1, S. Torres 18 (26b), E. Muyia 2 (8b) End of over 33 (5 runs) - Jareds XI(123-5) RR 3.73
Not quite where I was hoping to be at this point. Playing Rob's affiliate in the UAE comp and although I expect to win, it's certainly not gonna be easy from here!

First game of the season yesterday, we rolled them for 68, I took 3 for 12 off 8.4 overs and also got to open the bowling which is nice as it was my first game for the club. Good to see my bowling swinging as much as ever, the ump actually asked me how I managed to swing it so much and still manage to bowl fairly quick! Our batsmen chased it down very nervously... we were 5 for 30 till a nice partnership took us home. At least I didn't have to bat!
Hopefully in a week or so I might get a chance to play in the division above.

How are you gonna train? The talent with the bowling type + power is pretty nice, but AR would be super tough from that tech. I'd guess based on wage nearly capa batting though. My main team got a crap 17 year old again Wheres ma luck.

Had a friendly against Daz today. His almost one man bowling effort (5-35 from De Blaauw) almost singlehandedly took down my team. The bowlers got me across the line in the end though!

I'm keen, my main team rates around 190k full strength so I'd be even competition with a lot of you.
