Hey, thanks for the idea! 9 1/2 Womens

If you don’t like the threads, fine, don’t read them, but have you happened to notice that lots of people are reading and responding? This is the kind of thing MPSIMS is for, heck, at least they’re not posting them in GD.

Runs 11, Inns 6, NO 2, HS 3. Batting Average 2.75  
Overs bowled 3, maidens 0, runs conceded 26, wickets 2. Bowling Average 13.00
