TooFast Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just now, Hesi said: TAKE THAT!! What ? What's happened ?? No memo has come through. I'd better search out what's going on. What we do know is ..... Howie has got to beat Virgil. Cometh the hour .... etc, etc We don't have a lot different in the remaining races ..... so it's gonna be tight. Unless Probabeel gets up as BB for Virgil in the next, in which case it will be all over red rover. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking to do a Kane Williamson ! That should do the trick. We're on the back foot now ..... but certainly not out of this.

TooFast Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks like Probabeel's ended the hopes and dreams of the Mighty Blues today. Flit was our hope, but caught 3-wide for the trip ended its hopes too. Hurricanes just too good in this semi ... but we'll battle away to get as close as we can.

TooFast Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Well done, Hurricanes ! Eased out of the gates, steadied, balanced up, motored home. Waaaayyy too good in this semi and deservedly firmly entrenched now in another Grand Final. Top stuff John, TC, Porky, my skilful opponent today Virgil, and of course outstanding performance from MOTM Hesi .... coming back from $180+ down was superb, my friend. Tough luck today my Mighty Blues guys .... plenty of good effort, but simply run-over by a better team on the day. Thank you Pete, Gordy, Roland and Geoff. All top guys, and we certainly had many good moments in this comp. Coming from the same side of the draw as us we'll be cheering on the Hurricanes in the Grand Final. Best of luck against the Chiefs, who of course also deserve many congratulations for their win today and progressing to the Final. Especially Gee ! Can he back up ?? Maybe hecandoosit ?? Maybe. Finally thanks very much for your outstanding performance scoring and commentating, John. You were the glue that held all this together in the latter rounds. Superb. ✔️ And of course many thanks to PJ for another memorable and highly entertaining PJ Comp. 👍 Howie and Mighty Blues out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Big congrats to the 'Canes and Chiefs on today's wins and securing a spot in the Grand Final. Chiefs were too good for the Ferdies today assuming dominance at an early stage which they held on to in style. A big thanks to my Ferdies team mates - Heather, Zac, Ashoka and the mighty Maurice who has shown tremendous form in this comp but drew a bad marble today. A massive thanks to John for filling in as scorer for some weeks. I WILL be back on deck for next week's final. Thanks also to the Blues for a mighty effort in the comp but just failed to make the GF which will be competed between the 3rd and 4th seeds illustrating how tight this comp was regarding form.

You see, the $$$ totals earned by the noble head sherang of the IAF don't matter. The question to be answered is: were they winning totals? Now a man of professorial nous such as your good self will conclude (as Maxi has) that the $0 totals in Rds 1,3,5, and 7 are almost certainly losing totals...but what about the other ones? Was $328 and $238 (in particular) enuf shekels to be a winner for his team on the day? Very very Disappointing (VvD, for short) that your question was not focused on what really matters - WINNING H2H performances, not $$ EARNED. Back to school, professor?
