Diary of a TFC Century League Challenge 15
Week 18 Day 6
Another day where both domestic and international cricket are vying for my attention. I've also got to juggle quite a few other activities during the day. Thankfully the first of those is my usual Sunday morning spent here. I say thankfully because it meant that I was logged on before 10am and could react to the omission of Stuart Broad from the England side. Afterwards I had to pick up my eldest from his archery club and then take the middle one to the library. Today was the last day of the summer reading scheme and the library was only open until 2pm. He had to talk about the last two of his 15 books or he wouldn't get a bowling voucher. We arrived at the library at about 1.30, just in time. After a late lunch we triple checked everything was ready for the start of school tomorrow before finally being able to catch up properly with the scores.
The international side climbed 30 places to 121st, a new high for me in this game. Just 54 points now seperate me from the top 100 and 5 more ODIs to make them up. Fingers crossed. And so to the TFC challenge. Kent continued to persue thier youth policy so my captain was rested again. Stevens took the only wicket to fall before rain prematurely ended the match, making up for his disappointing batting score. Tredwell opened and scored a few as did New for Leicestershire. I thought that would be it as Yorkshire decided to bat out the final day at Trent Bridge, but once Notts decided to express their dismay by bowling everyone I ended up with a bonus wicket and two catches for Ali Brown. However, Notts announced he would be rested in the Pro40 match tomorrow, so unless I use another precious transfer my week is already over. The scores have been updated early again and it's been another good day, so maybe I'll just forget cricket for one day. Here's the latest top 3.
With nearly 400 points between 3rd and 4th I'm hoping that it's now a 3-horse race, but after the poor start to week 18 I'm still not discounting anything.
