Another week has passed and it's time for another round of the FFPL.
Round 6 caused a few upsets and shook the table with teams going in all directions. Here is the ladder after Round 6:
Standings
Pos Team Matches Wins Losses Ties Points NRR For Against
1 Gunz n Rozez 6 5 1 0 20 +1.2279 1311 / 257.2 1160 / 300.0

Match-ups
All matches are at 00:00 FTP Time.
Feeling Sheepish (4th) vs. Fletch's No Balls (7th)
Pitch:Flat
Weather:Cloudy
These two teams are equal on points with only NRR separating 4th from 7th. If Fletch's No Balls win, they could see themselves catipulting up to as high as 3rd on the table, but results would still need to go their way. The same result is possible for Feeling Sheepish. Both teams had a win last week, with Feeling Sheepish taking a convincing win, while Fletch's No Balls won with one wicket to spare against John Howard's Coathangers.
Prediction: Feeling Sheepish wins.
Hello (2nd) vs. DazBurg's Greatness (8th)
Pitch:Green
Weather:Cloudy
Last week saw these two teams have a mixed affair of results. Hello shocked previously undefeated league leaders Gunz n Rozez (The bribe might've worked), while DazBurg's Greatness couldn't pull of an upset against Tickle My Timber. Could this match confirm the status of "Legend Killers" for DazBurg's Greatness? Or will Hello be saying Goodbye after coming up victorious?
Prediction: Hello wins.
John Howard's Coathangers (6th) vs. Gunz n Rozez (1st)
Pitch:Green
Weather:Cloudy
Gunz n Rozez has been in a form slump recently losing 3 consecutive matches after last round's FFPL match against Hello. Gunz n Rozez manager, BOOMZ, has been disappointed to say the least with these results and on several occasions, has threatened to sell the whole team. John Howard's Coathangers is also in a big form slump winning only 2 in their last 7 matches in all forms of the game, with 3 matches being decided by 1 wicket. This will be the first encounter for these two teams this season.
Prediction: Gunz n Rozez wins.
Academy of Ireland and Aus (10th) vs. Roo Boys! (5th)
Pitch:Flat
Weather:Cloudy
In the last match of the round, we see Academy of Ireland and Aus still looking to pick up their first win of this season's FFPL. Roo Boys! have had a decent start to the competition winning half of their matches so far. This match looks one sided on paper and looks as the Academy of Ireland and Aus will have a tough time trying to hold off Roo Boys! deadly spinner/all-rounder Shaggy Chiba who has hit a purple patch after a recent name change.
Prediction: Roo Boys! wins.
Tickle My Timber (9th) vs. The Brat Pack (3rd)
Pitch:Green
Weather:Cloudy
This match should be a tight and contested battle between two of the stronger teams in the FFPL. Tickle My Timber sit at a lowly 9th, but have outrated their opponents in all but two games. The Brat Pack started the competition well and have only lost two matches thus far. These two teams also played a friendly last Sunday, where Tickle My Timber won by 4 wickets. I think this game could be a repeat of the match that took place on Sunday.
Prediction: Tickle My Timber wins.
Will be interesting it's a green pitch and I have 2 mediums, an FM & 2 spinners which could hurt me I just hope my mediums perform... Have a new batsman that I got today have gone with him as opener so it would be great if he goes well there.
I have 2 medium, a fasty and 2 spinners. Haven't made any transfers in a while, but looking to make one soon.
Yeah I didn't really want to but my batsmen have been letting me down so I went for it even though he's a bit old...
Fair enough. I'm looking at a 25 year old outs/outs FS.
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=125687
Hope I get him.

Very nice player hopefully u get him :)
He would be a great addition to the Coathangers.
Realised I'm playing 2 fasties instead of 2 spinners. Forgot green was no good for spinners.
Yeah that's why I said it could hurt me :(
Once again, a nice write-up for the games ML.
A few things however to note regarding Sunday's game with BP, it was on a Sticky pitch. Totally different game. My stronger bowlers actually had the chance to do the damage. :D
Tickle My Timber The Brat Pack
Batting - Top Order: 9,647 9,231
Batting - Middle Order: 7,726 7,661
Batting - Tail: 3,839 3,217
Bowling - Seam: 9,378 (6) 8,512 (6)
Bowling - Spin: 10,390 (4) 8,766 (4)
Fielding/Keeping: 8,521 8,274
Overall: 155,486 145,109
It was a rather significant advantage as well.
Now tomorrows match, I have an exp/exp Medium who I am honestly undecided on playing yet. My line up currently as it is in is 2 Fast, 1 FM, 1 M and 1 FS in Lidgerwood who has to play due to AR needs.
My only concern though is dropping Hart, a WS, losses me an Expert summary bowler with reliable experience for a Reliable summary Medium with poor experience. So chances are I will go back to 2 spinners before the start of the match.
You played BP on Sunday. :P
Thanks Shaggy, they are pretty good for stuff done at 2 am. :P
I think that you have to play your mediums. It's a pitch designed for them, so play them.
Damn it I blame it on BOOMZ talking!
Nice edit. ;)
I'm actually tired so I'm going to sleep. Will probably miss the first innings of my game by the time I wake up though. :P
haha thanks Shaggy ::) :P
I reckon I will too I usually do though lol
Nice write up ML. I'm turning into the Legend Killer :P. Daz could upset as I'm playing 2 Mediums, 2 FM's and a Fasty (Ahead of a better Spinner). Might not work but it could as pitch/weather favour seamers 8).
Looks to be a good set of matches this week and could see some upsets!!!
I have a bad feeling about my game today :-\.
Very nice write up ML, I agree with most of that and you put in a little more than there usually is :).

Superb effort ML in the write up.
No need to worry Alex, you will cream me on a flat pitch, my batsmen are my weakest link... Easy win ;)
Thanks guys. I just haven't been able to get to sleep on Wednesday's so I just write til I'm tired. :P
Fair enough :p
12 minutes to go :)
Can't wait until I get killed. Batting first on a green pitch. :(
I am batting first on a flat :)
I need to put up a HUGE total :)
Tried a bit of a different setup putting Yavar at 4 instead of 5 and Hay down at 5 with Linton opening. Linton in accomplished form so he should go well.

End of over 1 (1 run) - Feeling Sheepish(1-0) RR 1.00
D. Daryapurkar 0 (1b) , A. Linton 1 (5b) , C. Bartlett 1-0-1-0
Famn old fart :p
1.2 W Siggs to Linton : [catch] That one has hit Linton's foot and ballooned to second slip. Beveridge and Siggs both appeal for the catch and the umpire has given him! Replays show he was probably out LBW too.
A. Linton c R. Beveridge b. W. Siggs 1 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR:14.29
Dodgy way to go out but that experiment didn't go well. Prepare to face SHAGMEISTER!
Go Siggs :)
End of over 2 (3 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(4-1) RR 2.00
D. Daryapurkar 1 (2b) , W. Shagmeister 2 (3b) , W. Siggs 1-0-3-1
I hate my life -.-
Flat pitch ::)
lol. I get it. You hate your life. :P

S. Gecko 0 (0b) , M. Abdul-Wahad 7 (12b) , Z. Abdellah 2-0-7-1
Not Babb. :'(
Couldn't you have gotten Abdul-Wahad out. :P
He's been terrible recently.
End of over 5 (7 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(31-1) RR 6.20
W. Shagmeister 18 (11b) , D. Daryapurkar 11 (13b) , C. Bartlett 3-0-15-0
Recovering, still a lousy start ::)

S. Gecko 4 (2b) , M. Abdul-Wahad 8 (16b) , P. Siddle 3-0-12-0
I love Gecko's dreadful power. He hit a 4 off his 2nd ball faced. :)
End of over 6 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(36-1) RR 6.00
D. Daryapurkar 14 (18b) , W. Shagmeister 19 (13b) , W. Siggs 3-0-21-1
I don't really love anything about my players right now :p

W. Shagmeister 19 (19b) , D. Daryapurkar 14 (18b) , C. Bartlett 4-1-15-0
Old fart ::) I need to get myself one :p
The old fart popped last week, so he's not so bad :)
You're recovering well Alex. You're still well on top.
9.3 2 Abdellah to Abdul-Wahad : [dropped] Abdul-Wahad's not got onto that as well as he'd hoped. Rudraraju is out in the deep and it goes down! Oh dear... and if it could get any worse for Abdellah there's 2 runs more to the score.
::) that's how it all starts... I drop them and then they score a ton.
Well done Rogers, you got rid of Shagmeister :)
End of over 11 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(60-2) RR 5.45

I think not ::)
I just put in a bid for an outs/outs opener with outs exp. Take that :p
End of over 12 (2 runs) - John Howard's Coathangers(43-2) RR 3.58
S. Gecko 10 (12b) , L. Rahmann 1 (1b) , R. Taylor 1-0-2-1
Having a shocker. :(
11.5 W Taylor to Abdul-Wahad : [catch] That's very full from Taylor, it's just about waist height and Abdul-Wahad has absolutely creamed that down to deep extra cover where he picks out McCormack. The umpires are checking with each other here, there seems to be some confusion, and it seems it is NOT a no ball. Abdul-Wahad is on his way, and he is fuming with that decisio
M. Abdul-Wahad c J. McCormack b. R. Taylor 21 (47b 0x4 0x6) SR:44.68
wooot 2/43 :D my spinners going alright :)
This is bullshower.
Good game fletch.
Slowing the RR down. Remember Alex, my batsmen are my weakness....
End of over 17 (9 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(85-2) RR 5.00
D. Daryapurkar 37 (48b) , B. Yavar 16 (21b) , V. Rogers 4-0-22-1
I didn't know it but apparently same deal here -.-
Hopefully I can get Vincent.
End of over 18 (1 run) - Feeling Sheepish(86-2) RR 4.78
D. Daryapurkar 37 (48b) , B. Yavar 17 (27b) , P. Rollox 4-0-8-0
I've never been this bad on a flat pitch, especially against someone I out rate fairly comfortably -.-
End of over 20 (6 runs) - The Brat Pack(76-2) RR 3.80
S. Ryan 26 (57b) , F. Mabothe 21 (39b) , G. Brophy 5-1-16-0
21.2 W Paritosh to Mabothe : A hint of swing, a hint of an edge, a hint to the umpire and a hint of an index finger.
F. Mabothe c S. Phillips b. D. Paritosh 23 (46b 1x4 1x6) SR:50.00
8 byes so far, I don't think Phillips likes the fact I sold him haha :P
23.1 W Rogers to Daryapurkar : That's plumb! Daryapurkar is checking the edge of his bat as if to indicate that he got something on it, but the replays show he was nowhere near it. Off you go son!
D. Daryapurkar lbw b. V. Rogers 56 (64b 4x4 0x6) SR:87.50
I think FTP needs to introduce Hotspot.... but I'll take it whilst I can ;D
21.6 4 Paritosh to Ryan : Four runs to the vacant fine leg boundary.
21.5 . Paritosh to Ryan : [dropped] That was a sitter, but it's been dropped! Chipped up in the air to Lidgerwood at mid on, and it's gone into his hands and right back out again.
flower you Lidgerwood.
End of over 23 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(118-2) RR 5.13
B. Yavar 23 (42b) , D. Daryapurkar 56 (63b) , W. Kimber 2-0-8-0
Yavar is being annoying -.-
The only thing keeping in the team was his exp and ties with the club, but he is proving he is still valuable.
I got Vincent as well, cost me a bit but well worth it-
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=73959
End of over 24 (8 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(126-3) RR 5.25
B. Hay 8 (5b) , B. Yavar 23 (42b) , V. Rogers 7-0-41-2
Darya out for 56. Still a good knock whilst others failed epically.
24.2 W Lidgerwood to Kelly : Wonderful delivery from Lidgerwood which moves away after pitching. Kelly looking to drive through the off side, not fully in position to drive, gets the edge through to Phillips.
A. Kelly c S. Phillips b. P. Lidgerwood 4 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR:33.33
A wicket just before drinks.
End of over 25 (4 runs) - The Brat Pack(98-4) RR 3.92

B. Yavar 31 (53b) , B. Hay 15 (18b) , V. Rogers 9-0-49-2

B. Hay 19 (28b) , B. Yavar 39 (62b) , W. Siggs 6-0-41-1
It is just so frustrating to watch, 7 wickets in hand with 19 overs remaining and they refuse to hit the ball -_-
That's how I've been feeling all game. :(
End of over 31 (4 runs) - John Howard's Coathangers(106-4) RR 3.42
L. Rahmann 37 (59b) , C. Nasser 12 (27b) , K. Daley 6-1-13-0
31.2 W Kimber to Yavar : Tossed up on the middle and off stump line, the ball grips the surface and turns back in. Yavar realises too late and although it strikes high on the pad, the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger.
B. Yavar lbw b. W. Kimber 39 (64b 2x4 1x6) SR:60.94
-_- Outs/exp with skilled batting and that is all he can manage on a flat pitch. I hate you.
31.2 W Brophy to Martinez : [catch] Charges down the track and sends this one high up into the sky. Ingall settles under it at long on and takes a comfortable catch.
C. Martinez c H. Ingall b. G. Brophy 13 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR:41.94
My medium actually gets a wicket... and a Maiden at that. Woohoo!

N. Bowen 4 (9b) , B. Hay 27 (35b) , W. Kimber 7-0-22-1
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Alex, chillax. It's not that bad dude. On a flat, 250-350 is where you want to be. And you should get 250 at least.
35.2 W Kimber to Bowen : Bowen goes across the line and misses, Kimber appeals his heart out and the umpire just had to give that out. Hitting middle and off no doubt.
N. Bowen lbw b. W. Kimber 5 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR:38.46
I doubt I will make 250, my batsmen are taking the day off.
I doubt I will make 150. :'(
Remember I bowled you out last time I played you Alex, but you still won comfortably...
Yeah but that was a green pitch, Darya made a double century and I actually made a decent total. This is just >:(

S. Ryan 64 (96b) , S. Gorman 19 (27b) , P. Kortlang 10-1-47-1
42.3 W Bartlett to Hay : A slower ball from Bartlett sees Hay confused. He didn't hit the ball but still there's the sound of ball on wood. Excellent deception.
B. Hay b. C. Bartlett 44 (58b 4x4 0x6) SR:75.86
Need a tail wag now ::)
Handy 20 odd from Collins though :)
Well done old boy... :D

I'd hope to win from here but ML does have a full pace attack and I had 2 spinners... Rudraraju with 6 wickets :D
I reckon I'll struggle to get that against your attack Alex...

A. Rethans 5 (6b) , J. Phillips 6 (12b) , N. Bowen 2-0-8-0

Things not looking good any more -.-
6.1 W Bowen to Rethans : An ugly swipe takes the top edge. Bowen tracks the swirling ball and gleefully accepts the catch.
A. Rethans c & b. N. Bowen 11 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR:73.33
Phillips has triggered 4 times in 9 overs...
9.4 W Sodumo to Phillips : [catch] Short ball, and hooked straight down the throat of the man in the deep! Out!
J. Phillips c B. Yavar b. A. Sodumo 35 (37b 5x4 0x6) SR:94.59

M. Pretty 30 (41b) , H. Ingall 4 (3b) , G. McGregor 2-0-8-0
Lost Stephens for 21, but a decent opening partnership nonetheless. Ingall is in, lets see if he really wants to keep his place in my side.
16.2 W Junior to Nye : Bowled Him! Junior has pitched it on middle and off and Nye has tried to clip it through the on-side. He's completely missed it and now his middle stump is cartwheeling towards the keeper.
P. Nye b. S. Junior 15 (29b 1x4 0x6) SR:51.72
Junior strikes!
Not having his best day with the ball, got burned by misfields though and a flat pitch so not too bad.
End of over 17 (1 run) - Fletch's No Balls(78-3). 191 runs required from 33 overs. RR 4.59 RRR 5.79
H. Crawford 0 (4b) , R. Beveridge 14 (18b) , S. Junior 4-0-19-1
Junior really stuck back that over. Proved his class.
Told you my batting with crap!!! :(
18.6 4 Junior to Crawford : [misfield] Sodumo flings a hand out but is unable to stop the ball racing away. 4 is the result.
ME hates me, 3 failed fielding checks of 4 from a reliable fielder >:(
End of over 20 (6 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(99-3). 170 runs required from 30 overs. RR 4.95 RRR 5.67
R. Beveridge 25 (29b) , H. Crawford 9 (11b) , G. Ramiah 5-0-19-0
I can't get ahead in this match. It just sucks. Going to need Rimmo to do something special.
End of over 21 (1 run) - Fletch's No Balls(100-3). 169 runs required from 29 overs. RR 4.76 RRR 5.83

The newest member of the Shaggy family having a very good day.
29 to help me over the 250 mark when I was looking in trouble, got rid of Nye and has bowled quite economically, 3.62 on a flat. Has been burned by misfields as well.

H. Crawford 17 (28b) , R. Beveridge 34 (48b) , P. Rimmington 3-0-16-0
I really need to break this partnership. These two have been around way too long.
Shaggy boys have been doing well this season. Mushy was stumped for 38 or so in his match, McBourne got 3 fa. Junior has done well, Shagmeister didn't do terrible...
Shagmeister was unlucky ::)
He will be back on Friday :p

R. Beveridge 35 (52b) , H. Crawford 21 (36b) , P. Rimmington 4-0-19-0
That is more like it Rimmo.
That is the 50 partnership (50 runs, 72b, 4x4, 0x6) SR:69.44
Not good signs, I really need to remove one of these two.
Stupid website is down.
Sure is.

Alex at the same time was 164-4, so should be close if I don't lose wickets.
33.4 W Rimmington to Beveridge : Terrible batting from Beveridge. I could have driven a double decker bus through the gap between his bat and pad, so it's no surprise to see the off stump pegged back.
R. Beveridge b. P. Rimmington 48 (67b 4x4 0x6) SR:71.64

Lindsay dropped could be costly.
34.4 W Mabothe to Clements : Trapped on the crease to a full, inswinging delivery, Clements looks down at his feet as if he knows his fate.
D. Clements lbw b. F. Mabothe 9 (21b 0x4 0x6) SR:42.86
Useless Clements.
I just realised Alex you scored 91 runs in the last 10 overs, so I need to be ahead of what you were at 40 overs to be any chance I reckon...
ATM I am behind you, so I think I'll fall short. Junior smashed me around in that last 10 overs :'(

S. Phillips 12 (16b) , H. Ingall 65 (81b) , F. Mabothe 10-0-43-1
Game over now... >:(
41.4 W Bowen to Lindsay : That's beautiful. The ball held its line and clean hit the stumps, the bails are currently doing their best bird impersonation.
A. Lindsay b. N. Bowen 18 (27b 0x4 0x6) SR:66.67
2 dropped catches, 3 caught. 13 runs... Cya Phillips you dud!
41.5 W McGregor to Phillips : Terrible batting from Phillips. I could have driven a double decker bus through the gap between his bat and pad, so it's no surprise to see the off stump pegged back.
S. Phillips b. G. McGregor 13 (29b 0x4 0x6) SR:44.83

D. Paritosh 0 (0b) , P. Lidgerwood 7 (9b) , O. Donaldson 8-0-45-3
44.6 W Donaldson to Ingall : Huge lbw appeal by Donaldson... and up goes the finger! Ingall is shaking his head in disagreement, but the umpire continues to give him the finger and insists he take a walk.
H. Ingall lbw b. O. Donaldson 80 (95b 6x4 1x6) SR:84.21
Big innings by Ingall, a much needed 80 will definitely save his spot in my side for a while to come yet.
45.2 W McGregor to Paritosh : Middle stump out of the ground! Well bowled by McGregor and Paritosh is looking at the stumps in disbelief!
D. Paritosh b. G. McGregor 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
Golden Duck >.>
46.1 W Donaldson to Lidgerwood : An excellent delivery spins sharply. Lidgerwood playing from the crease pushes at the ball which goes through and strikes the stumps.
P. Lidgerwood b. O. Donaldson 9 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR:75.00
Had me scared for a while there.

Yeah gOod game Fletch. Very happy with those ratings, considering that my new super opener Vincent is still to come in to that team :). I will need every bit of it against the league favorite next week;).
Daz & Q the only ones to rate below 130k today, FF is on the rise :)
3 20 Jan 2011 FFPL Tickle My Timber v The Brat Pack 153,713 Tickle My Timber
I now have the 3rd highest rating thus far in the FFPL. :>
Play Q next week, FINALLY he can't dodge my challenges. Haha take that!
Pitch Hard
Weather (forecast) Sunny
I should be able to play my strongest team, so I have a big chance at taking #1 in the highest ratings. :D
Good game BOOMZ. You were always going to win it.
I am 14th Shaggy, but only you, BOOMZ & R&B have rated higher than me :)
Must hurt to have the third highest rating and be 8th on the ladder :p
It sucks to have only been out-rated twice yet have 4 losses and 1 of the times I was out-rated, I won. -_-
That is quite comical :p
The other game you won you only out rated me by 1k.

Won by 54 runs but was closer than expected. Went in with an all seam attack with Bennett costing alot (ahead of Sreed ::)). Kamb and Goss did well with the ball with Flanagan and Morgan doing what they do best (economy rate). Jeffers and Selth stayed in for a while to help steady the boat after a top order collapse. Kamb did well with the bat adding in 34 from 18 to show why he should stay in the team :).
Rahmann picked up 3 wickets for Daz with Taufel being his best all round bowler. Black only 1 to crack 50 for Daz with Manou and Masood falling short by 10+ runs.

For a guy pulling mostly below 140k rankings, nice to see I'm second, tied with BOOMZ on wins :). Q remains winless though :(.
Maybe someone should give Q a win?
I nominate BOOMZ as he has the best ranking :P.
I just noticed, The game I had with Daz pulled the largest crowd in FFPL History!!!! A whopping 1,321 is 150 more than the next highest game between RB and ML.
Yay. I'm up high on a list. ;D
HP we need you to go in the thread in the FB and help Australia out. Please.
I have the highest tail end rating in the FFPL :p
Read it but can't do ML ;). Contributed 50 before :P.
I went to see how I match up on the ratings progress through FFPL. I've been middle of the pack (5th) for the majority of the way.
Might be taking a holiday away from the forum soon but more on that later.....
Well can you be our campaign manager?
I have to get clicks and don't have time to recruit as well.
Haha. Free advertisment on the side:
<<<<<
Very nice ML ;)
I had to. :P
I'm pretty bored. I wish there was matches on right now so I could watch myself win. Or at least players I want to buy.
Shaggy, if your bored, go to the website above my DP and follow the instructions.
We need your clicks!

We both went in with a pace attack which was fairly even according to the ratings ;).
Good game indeed even with the rating gap.
