Match Thread Exhibition Match: Fulmina A v Keptin A

[FootyBot13]

RAIN halts play at 2:18 PM
Fulmina close in on a lead of 300, with 5 wickets in hand. Patchy showers are forecast well into the afternoon - will we see more cricket this session, or will an early tea time be called? Will this rain force a declaration if Fulmina want to chase a win?

Coach Ðüмвfáçè, if you declare before we reach a 330-run lead, I'll be needing the brown paper bag to breathe in.

Welcome back to a very delayed third and final session of Day 3.

With just a day to play, will we see an overnight or early morning declaration? Will this rain have impacted how the pitch plays?

 

[Dinsdale]

8.3 Barrybran to Dinsdale, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire gives it out LBW

19.2 Genius to spudmaster, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket

spudmaster 52 (52b 11X4)
lbw b. Genius

Replays show we both snicked it, should've gone upstairs

 

[Chipmunk]

I saw this between Dinsdale and the umpires earlier.

 

[cats2rise]

Chipmunk and FootyGuy13

Do both teams seek to agree to a drawn test? The results of Day 4 will then never see the light of day...

Speak now or forever keep your yap shut.

 

[cats2rise]

I saw this between Dinsdale and the umpires earlier.

I know, I was furious that they didnt think to approach me.

 

[akkaps]

I reckon bat for another 5 overs. Make big time runs. Declare. Then go for the kill.

Last day tomorrow

 

[Chipmunk]

I know, I was furious that they didnt think to approach me.

Whoever drafts you, it’ll cost less than the bribes

 

[moginie]

At least we're doing better than the Redbacks philreich jackster83

Just as long as it's not sandpaper......

Hello darkness my old friend.

 

[moginie]

Hello darkness my old friend.

We'll be lucky if they don't win by an innings and plenty.

 

[jackster83]

We'll be lucky if they don't win by an innings and plenty.

Might be time for me to wash the car.

 

[Chipmunk]

Just as long as it's not sandpaper......

 

[moginie]

There's no reason why I can't laugh at blatant cheating.

God knows the English have done it for long enough (cough*Fusarium*cough).

Speak now or forever keep your yap shut.

Let's see what Hansie Cronje has to say.

 

[moginie]

Might be time for me to wash the car.

There's a possibility of a late shower tomorrow. If you can turn it into an early shower coupled with the 37° forecast it'll be a seamers paradise for Jackson Bird.

Anyone here know how to do a rain dance that lasts 3 days?

 

[Tonga Bob]

NO RUN!

 

[cats2rise]

I am confused.

FootyGuy13 and FootyBot13 are different posters?

I think I've stuffed up. Who signed up to the Sweet CA? Who is playing in this match? One? Both?

They're not the same person???

 

[Tonga Bob]

They're not the same person???

They're cats for a start.

 

[cats2rise]

They're cats for a start.

And everyone knows a cat has 9 personalities.

I'm serious though - have I made a mistake and combined their player registrations?

 

[Gralin]

I am confused.

Who is telling you they are no the same cat?
