Ground: Amabola Penguins CG

Was going to send out my 2nd team but the manager sent me a message saying he is ready to win, so I'll be sending my first team out Hope they don't disappoint.

Got a reasonably easy game.

Hoping to bowl em out quick sharp and get 360 declared.

(I love these smileys)

Will be sending out my first side, though I am experimenting with my batting lineup to see if I can preserve PFL for some key players. Managing PFL when you are trying hard in two different leagues is not an easy feat, even with superb stamina. Will push for superb* on trainees to see the difference

looks like i am in control of this one!
but taking into consideration master william is resting most of his first team players this is not an accomplishment!

Bowled out Eastside Boyz for exactly 360. Not bad against a decent team, but could have been much better having had them 155-5 and 309-9 .

Gate takings are easily my best ever

Day 1:

Portugal_XI: 363-2
Amabola Penguins: 99-4

I'm hoping to wrap this game up tomorrow as the weather will be bowling weather.

Bowled them out for 246.

And trail by 60 odd runs with 9 wickets left, get to 360 and bowl em out again methinks.

Hoping to promote this season.

The players are off the field for lunch.

Barness* 108 (154 balls)
Urry 0 (13 balls)
Last Wicket: Fleetwood lbw b. Curtis 1 (FOW: 197/9)

I need 1 more wicket to force the follow on but my opponent needs 11 runs to avoid the follow on. Going to be tight and I don't feel too confident with Barness still being at the crease.

Won by an innings and 17 runs.

Pretty decent effort from the lads.

On the road to promotion.

Took a 53 run lead from 1st innings, they are now 10-1, with 1st innings centurion Duncan back in the pavillion

This game should be mine for the taking, I have made hard work of it though

Played 3 won 3, and am still 2nd.

Playing the team at the top next week.

They are better than me.

I can just see me scraping a draw.

Won after my oppo declared 3 down, leaving me needing 150 off 57 overs! Not complaining

Nice!

won my game by 10 wickets!

Seems like we are all doing well.
