[loz]

my bowlers are toiling away on a hard and fast pitch today... not getting any wickets but their run-rate has been gradually slowing.

[MrB]

We got them all out for 55 (from 31 overs!). Hopefully will rattle that off quickly for a nice NRR boost. Top economy from Suthers!

[loz]

broke the partnership, but might be a mixed blessing as they now have two fresh batsmen in for the final 12 overs..

Craddock 9-0-39-1
Molesley* 1 (1 balls)
Hougaard 12 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Kelly b. Craddock 57 (FOW: 166/3)

 

[blues_r_best]

A decent over, maiden and a wicket

End of Over 39: 174-2, runrate=4.46
Gamage 8-1-19-1
Schoeman* 63 (90 balls)
Sekhon 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Rosenior c. Barnett b. Gamage 88 (FOW: 174/2)

 

[blues_r_best]

A chaseable score on a uneven wicket,

End of Over 50: 257-3, runrate=5.14
Mapes 10-0-78-0
Schoeman* 114 (124 balls)
Bewers 24 (20 balls)

Last Wicket: Sekhon c. Sugden b. Gamage 7 (FOW: 205/3)

 

[loz]

End of Over 50: 247-8, runrate=4.94
Nico 10-0-44-3
Robert* 31 (26 balls)
Harper 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Goulding c. Charlton b. Nico 0 (FOW: 247/8)

inevitably they upped the run-rate a bit, but a very chaseable score on a H + F pitch. from the looks of things, they have a good M bowler and not that much else- no spinners to slow an end up either.

 

[Napster]

won by 10 wickets

[The General]

Hmmm i TIE'd again and got hit by a rather big total. Tapp did well bowling in his first competitive gameand Raven took 6-67 so there are some positive's to take although i have already given up on this season and am trying out a couple of different things!

Hougaard 4-0-23-0
Thornley* 28 (21 balls)
Scholes 27 (27 balls)

good start to our reply- after he got a century in the friendly on sunday, i think it's becoming clear that Thornley enjoys opening.

 

[blues_r_best]

A shaky opening as Laws (looks to be about a wonderful bowler) takes two early wickets, need a long stand from these two.

[blues_r_best]

A shaky opening as Laws (looks to be about a wonderful bowler) takes two early wickets, need a long stand from these two.

That was clearly the kiss of death, as 3 wickets fall in 3 overs and I can't see Gamage hanging around for long.

End of Over 16: 81-5, runrate=5.06, reqrunrate=5.21 (257-3)
Schoeman 3-0-15-2
Gamage* 1 (3 balls)
Drury 28 (41 balls)

Last Wicket: Boateng b. Schoeman 2 (FOW: 78/5)

And gone

17.1 W Schoeman to Gamage
Marvellous delivery that! Schoeman drew Gamage into the shot and a thick outside edge is well taken at first slip.

 

[MrB]

Credit to Cold Rod and Mcconnell, I wanted some NRR but I didn't expect +9!

55 required:

0.1 . Chenzira to Curtis
Played to the off side and it looked like a certain single but Wyman manages to stop it and throw in quickly.
0.2 6 Chenzira to Curtis
You can't teach that...pure strength and instinct. Six runs!
0.3 1 Chenzira to Curtis
Nudged the ball on the leg side and scampered through for a single. Great running.
0.4 1 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Mcconnell opens the face and guides it between the slips and point for an easy single.
0.5 . Chenzira to Curtis
Very full outside off stump, jams it into the deck, forced straight to cover point.
0.6 1 Chenzira to Curtis
On the toes and pushed out to the on side.

End of Over 1: 9-0, runrate=9.00, reqrunrate=0.96 (55-10)
Chenzira 1-0-9-0
Curtis* 8 (5 balls)
Mcconnell 1 (1 balls)


1.1 1 Husbands to Curtis
Nice straight drive to mid on. Oh my word, a misfield and the batsman grab a single.
1.2 1 Husbands to Mcconnell
Smacked down to long off for the single.
1.3 . Husbands to Curtis
On the toes, played back down the track.
1.4 . Husbands to Curtis
Yorker on off stump blocked back to Husbands.
1.5 4 Husbands to Curtis
Curtis really smashed that one. A very convincing four.
1.6 . Husbands to Curtis
A nice tight line from Husbands. Curtis can only defend with a straight bat.

End of Over 2: 15-0, runrate=7.50, reqrunrate=0.85 (55-10)
Husbands 1-0-6-0
Mcconnell* 2 (2 balls)
Curtis 13 (10 balls)


2.1 . Chenzira to Mcconnell
Sometimes Mcconnell plays those deliveries with commanding authority. This time, my granny could have hit it better with a stick of rhubarb.
2.2 . Chenzira to Mcconnell
Sharp, short, lifting ball angling in on off stump. The batsman stands tall on the crease and plays it down to point in defence.
2.3 4 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Mcconnell manages to pick up the quicker one off his legs and flicks away for four.
2.4 . Chenzira to Mcconnell
Plays off the back foot, fielded by Jarrett, no run.
2.5 1 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Slogs the ball straight to Wyman fielding at mid off and they run hard for a quick single. Good running there.
2.6 4 Chenzira to Curtis
The chase is on for Walmsley but I don’t think he’s going to make it…..four runs.

End of Over 3: 24-0, runrate=8.00, reqrunrate=0.68 (55-10)
Chenzira 2-0-18-0
Mcconnell* 7 (7 balls)
Curtis 17 (11 balls)


3.1 4 Husbands to Mcconnell
Textbook cover drive. That's four.
3.2 1 Husbands to Mcconnell
Played around to the region of deep fine leg, Duhaney-riley doing well to get to the ball and stop the second run.
3.3 . Husbands to Curtis
Batsman on the front foot but the ball nipped away as it pitched. Through to Kilkenny.
3.4 4 Husbands to Curtis
A square drive beats a diving fielder in the covers.
3.5 1 Husbands to Curtis
Comfortable single down to third man.
3.6 1 Husbands to Mcconnell
Played around the legs to the region of mid wicket as the fielder runs in to get the ball.

Husbands 2-0-17-0
Mcconnell* 13 (10 balls)

4.1 . Chenzira to Mcconnell
Mcconnell is looking to get on the front foot there, but Jarrett at mid on fields comfortably and there's no run.
4.2 3 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Cracking shot by Mcconnell, Duhaney-riley is giving chase and dives full length to save a boundary.
4.3 1 Chenzira to Curtis
Short and quick, angled down to third man for a single. Curtis didn't pick that one, but played it very well.
4.4 4 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Good connection! Can Husbands get his fingers to it? No, it's through and over the rope.
4.5 1 Chenzira to Mcconnell
Managed to steer to deep backward point, Husbands running wide to field.
4.6 4 Chenzira to Curtis
Driven beautifully down the ground for four.

End of Over 5: 48-0, runrate=9.60, reqrunrate=0.18 (55-10)
Chenzira 3-0-31-0
Mcconnell* 21 (14 balls)
Curtis 27 (16 balls)


5.1 4 Husbands to Mcconnell
Excellent shot he just opened the face of his bat and ran it to the third man boundary.
5.2 1 Husbands to Mcconnell
Mcconnell plays the ball softly into the on side and sets off for a sneaky single.
5.3 2 Husbands to Curtis
Shorter delivery, playing the pull shot and a diving stop on the boundary. Two runs.
5.4 1 Husbands to Curtis
The bouncer is hooked by Curtis down to fine leg.

Like it! :)

I won't get this easy a game for a while:

ShrimperZone CC Men o Wight
Top Order: proficient feeble
Middle Order: proficient woeful
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: wonderful woeful
Spin Bowling: strong competent
Fielding: mediocre woeful

Taking Beefy out does wonders for my seam rating!
