115/5.5 versus 141/7

Ben Brown makes things a little more comfortable. I'm guessing that there hasn't been a whole lot of play around the country, so tomorrow could be one of those declare, buffet bowling, declare nonsenses that throws everything wide open. As it stands I have 3 members of my team who haven't opened their account yet.... and Raine and Billings aren't going to, which hampers things a bit

any news, ian?

Rain ruined my chances this week, batsmen and bowlers unable to get second bites of the cherry. The fact that 11 of my 16 wickets and 127 of my 305 runs came from the Durham game tells a tale.

Any errors, let me know

thanks Ian.

you managed to overcome the Onions 9fer I see

you seem to have spent the last 3 rounds closing me down by a point a week

I think I have Red next up........ he'll be looking to exact some revenge on me for the way I squeaked the win earlier in the season... and he'll have Kleinveldt available

I think I'll need to get my selection sorted properly for that one.... can't afford to leave over 300 runs sitting on the bench!

I was saved by some very unexpected wickets from Wayne White

you have a habit of pulling some unexpected wickets out of the bag. I'm not so sure that they're quite so unexpected. You rarely leave many runs or wickets on the bench.... I do it a lot.

Next games start next Tuesday, so plenty of time to update the Google Docs and post Matchweek 16 details

Story of my whole season. Just the 6-fer, the century, and the two half-centuries left on my bench this time around. And I've had many weeks where my selection choices have been even worse than that.

Been playing golf this evening, so will sort Docs tomorrow

Matchweek 16 details:





Google Docs have been updated. Teams in by first toss Tuesday please

Buck (Lancs)
Taylor (Leics)
Harinath (Surrey)
Tavare (Gloucs)

that's a strong looking line up, Red, packed full of players who are bang in form

sadly for me, Samit, Hales, Hogan, Wallace aren't playing
Finn and Billings will be on England duty
Raine pulled up early in the last match and might not be a starter, Stevens didn't play last week, nor did Ryder in his last match.

I have a feeling my little team will get blown away, so I'll probably need the misfits to do me a favour against the ianternationals
