At least that over makes me smile, if only for a while. J. Watson 2-0-12-0, G. Willgress 6 (7b), R. Hudson 10 (11b) End of over 3 (10 runs) - Rustars(16-0). 177 runs required from 17 overs. RR 5.33 RRR 10.41

New SL WS, Poulier, having a very odd game. After seeing his first 3 overs go for 31 and sitting at 5-0-38-0 after his first spell... R. Poulier 5-0-38-0, S. Verapen 57 (75b), A. Rowlands 48 (64b) End of over 26 (4 runs) - south australian redbacks(145-2) RR 5.58 He comes back and almost single handedly wipes the batting lineup clean... R. Poulier 10-1-55-6, W. Hoedemakers 8 (14b) End of over 49 (6 runs) - south australian redbacks(277-10) RR 5.65 5-1-17-6... second spell. Humid/Green so conditions didn't suit him but he still had to do the work. Good signs from him, not so good from my younger seamers. Poulier against his old team too where the manager insisted that I play him. Won by 7 wickets.
Frustrating. Haven't lost a wicket, but all the runs have dried up. 8 runs off the last 3 overs. S. Shilling 2-0-6-0, R. Hudson 21 (25b), G. Willgress 24 (23b) End of over 8 (2 runs) - Rustars(46-0). 147 runs required from 12 overs. RR 5.75 RRR 12.25

Walallawita 3-0-14-2 Finished off strongly enough though, so as not to totally destroy the NRR. End of over 20 (17 runs) - Rustars(126-4). 67 runs required from 0 overs. RR 6.30 RRR 0.00 U. Hasan 37 (29b), C. Candappa 28 (24b), U. Burke 4-0-44-0 HAWKS won by 66 runs

Big youth game for affiliate tomorrow - will hopefully cement me in the lead. Purchased a quick with swing skill to try and boost my bowling. Want to promote. T20 Promotion should be a goer and will be the 2nd promotion in two seasons.
Big T20 game today. Looks like I've got the highest rated team. He's actually in my OD league as well, so one of us is going to be annoyed at the other by the end of the season.
Lost my T20 game. Opposition needed 33 off the last 3 overs and got there. Probably gonna call this season a write off.
One team from my SOD league is making some 2-6k waged purchases. He's started recently and purchased 5 such players so far. His team has already lost 2 games, so I'm not that much worried. But my next match against his team might get interesting http://www.fromthepavilion.org/seniors.htm?squadViewId=2&orderBy=&teamId=4238&playerType=1
