Best thread of 2006!!!

First ball at 9:30 - Bryn has agreed in principle to start then. He has also agreed to 20 overs - all going well we will be done by 2 at the latest.

Even earlier once we knock them over for 60.

I like the way you think, Mitch

Sounds like it's going to be fun. Pity I can't be there

Spitfire · Post by **Spitfire** » November 10, 2006, 9:39 am

I will keep your flame burning Feddy

Will try my best dude

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » November 10, 2006, 10:04 am

We'll hold you to it Darren

Don't worry Mitch its overdue.
I need to get the runs this week, and make up for all the runs that went through me in the field

i had the runs last week, but i'm much better now.

What happened in this game?

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 9:48 am

Bump. What happened in this game?

Paelleon · Post by **Paelleon** » November 14, 2006, 10:22 am

Well I can't fucking bat - that's what fucking happened.

I made 1. Again ... And considering that Russel made 100; and we were chasing a miserly 170 odd - you'd think we could somehow scrounge 70 runs between the rest of the team ... but no ... we barely scrounged 30 - thanks to Mitch and Warren for the only sizeable contributions - with myself making a great total of 1. Fucking 1 run!

But I did bowl quite well. Something I guess.

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 10:28 am

You restricted them to 170? that is pretty good. Wait off 30 overs?

So jolly are definately in the final. Remind me again why we invited all these guys that take it so ultra seriously that we can't beat them into the league?

Did you try the last man stands rules?

You just need to work on some technical aspects of your batting. Want to hire a bowling machine from sports horizons? If we get enough people together it is cheap..... R150 p/h

Paelleon · Post by **Paelleon** » November 14, 2006, 10:46 am

Hmmm ... hire a machine. I quite honestly didn't think of that. I've always looked at buying a machine - never even thought of hiring. What a poes.

Nope - we played 20 overs, and didn't get a chance to try last man stands as they were for 6.

We had them restricted to under 100 in the first 11/12 overs; but then let them off the barrel with some wayward bowling in the last few.

We then faltered spectacularly in the middle order, with only Mitch and Warren contributing anything besides Russel's fifty. Rob then managed to keep his stumps intact for a long while, giving Russel the freedom to smash some massive sixes and take his combined score to the century mark, but not quite enough to reach the target.

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 11:04 am

don't worry buddy. We had 5 ducks against them. hows that for a middle order?

What he said

But then I'm just bitter

Paelleon · Post by **Paelleon** » November 14, 2006, 11:18 am

Wow - that's even better than ours. We had only the one duck. A single was contibuted by myself, and Darren, and I think Rob scored two singles (but I could be wrong). Keith wasn't far from two either. Mitch scored 4 4's, and I have no idea what Warren posted, but I'm pretty sure it was double figures.

Russel basically scored all our runs; and took a wicket. I took one, Mitch got a lucky (dodgy) LBW, Keith took at least one; and I think there was another one - but I don't remember it ... maybe Rob, or Keith, or not at all ...

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » November 14, 2006, 11:22 am

And by dodgy he means DODGY. I didn't even appeal, big inside edge onto the pads.

Warren made a gutsy 16.

I seem to remember Keith bagging two

Paelleon · Post by **Paelleon** » November 14, 2006, 11:30 am

then something doesn't add up ... unless Russel didn't make the hundred ... not that it materially changes the outcome mind you - just confused.

Ah well - whatever - we didn't play well.

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » November 14, 2006, 11:40 am

Russel : 102
Mitch : 16
Darren : 1
Kieth : 3
Warren : 16
Alex 1 & 0
Rob 2

Extras : I remember a few wides and two no-balls - call it 9

Total : 150? which is right as we needed 24 off the last over.

Paelleon · Post by **Paelleon** » November 14, 2006, 11:51 am

Ah,

You may be right - I was under the impression we scored 137, but that may have been an over before. Come to think of it - it probably was.

Good show.

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 12:07 pm

I wish russel was in our side!!

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 12:14 pm

Were you playing a man short?

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » November 14, 2006, 12:38 pm

Yup, JC had car troubles. We actually started the game with 6 people on both sides with a fielding umpire and a borrowed fielder. Hopefully we can do the same on sunday to kick the game off

Ceek · Post by **Ceek** » November 14, 2006, 12:43 pm

Well no wonder we keep losing dude. We can't play the Jolly team without the right amount of people!
