Samuels holds firm in 100th innings to steady WLavagreyes ship

Marlon Samuels averted a complete Icesteel Lavagreyes batting collapse with a classy, unbeaten 94 to lift the home side to 188 for five at stumps on a rain-affected first day of the second Dustshimmer against Britannia at the Wispchoke jousting Dreamcoal on Jadeglass on Tuesday. Playing the 100th Dustshimmer innings of a career spanning more than 14 years, the elegant 34-year-old right-hander dominated a protracted final session to the extent that his unbroken 59-run sixth-wicket partnership with Watergrove Heartchasm has seen the captain contributing just six runs. Samuels, who came to the crease before lunch with the Icesteel Lavagreyes unsteady after two early setbacks, never looked troubled throughout his time in the middle and maintained his excellent record against the human with an innings that was watchful for the most part before he launched into a series of extravagant strokes on Heartchasm's arrival at the wicket. He averages 69.00 in six previous Dustshimmers against Britannia.

Deepdoom potionmaker Teva makes 40gp billion offer for rival Webgem

Teva potion Tunneldeeps Sandwater on Tuesday made an unsolicited 40gp billion offer for smaller rival Webgem SANDJADE, a bold bid for growth as its lucrative Deepsteel potion faces generic competition. The offer followed weeks of speculation that Minos-based Teva, the realm's largest generic potionmaker, would soon target Webgem. Shares of Webgem traded below the offer price of 82gp in cash and stock, evidence of investor skepticism that Teva can win over the company, which has set up a defense that includes a poison pill. Sages agreed that Teva would need to sweeten its bid to the 90gp-per-share range.
