Battrick - OD Match 11

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Playing the bottom of the league, and even without Evelyn, O'connor and Schoeman, I should be able to TIE and win. Only need 1 more win to guarantee a top 4 spot.

Mrs BB has a massive game today, she's 4th and she plays 5th. Win and she'll almost certainly finish in the top 4 (which in her league would be a great achievement), lose and it's the play-offs. She has a full-strength team out and is GFI.

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Baseball on Valium

We can tell you that Baseball on Valium won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIBS DIPPERS v Hoveshire Hawks

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

 

[loz]

got the league leaders at home- they've rested some players but should be clear favourite on the strength of their batting. i've let cairns rest for the whole week as well which obviously weakens my bowling. we're batting though, and have started aggressively.

End of Over 3: 33-0, runrate=11.00
Ross 2-0-19-0
Scholes* 17 (10 balls)
Rautenbach 16 (8 balls)

 

[MrB]

We've been made to bat so let's see how we get on with both bats set to very attacking:

End of Over 4: 32-0, runrate=8.00
Johnson 2-0-15-0
Sajjad* 19 (14 balls)
Cunningham 13 (10 balls)

Johnson 9-0-76-0
Cunningham* 57 (48 balls)
Sajjad 95 (60 balls)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I've just realised that I've played the wrong bowler. Dusty pitch and I've picked a rubbish F instead of a rubbish RHS. 0-32 off 3 and counting

Saj departs after 106 from 66 balls. Now Cold Rod's turn to have a slog.

End of Over 22: 207-1, runrate=9.41
Finnis 1-0-14-0
Cunningham* 73 (58 balls)
Curtis 21 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Sajjad c. Johnson b. Jeffery 106 (FOW: 186/1)

21.6 4 Finnis to Curtis
Great timing as the ball disappears through backward point for four runs.
21.5 4 Finnis to Curtis
Good hit from Curtis, Carty is underneath it but gets his feet tangled and tumbles backwards much to the annoyance of Finnis. Four runs.
21.4 4 Finnis to Curtis
Back to the drawing board for Finnis.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Oh the shame of being tonked everywhere by the bottom of the table :(

Wilde* 4 (27 balls)
Wheeler 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Cooper st. Browne b. Titterton 14 (FOW: 45/9)

S-l-o-w progress but very comfy stuff. May just bowl Guy and/or Jackie straight thru next week and see how that works out. Want to chase the runs quickly and have opened with Titterton and Browne so hopefully that should be good!

[The General]

At last:

End of Over 34: 48-10, runrate=1.41
Raven 6-3-4-2
Wheeler* 0 (10 balls)

33.4 W Raven to Wilde
Browne has taken a blinder. Simply brilliant work behind the stumps.

Tapp finishes with 2-17 off 10 overs.
Titterton 1-5 off 5 overs.
Guy 2-17 off 7 and Jackman with VERY impressive figures of 5-3-2-3!

[loz]

good batting performance against a strong attack. they still have to be favourites, although i have a feeling that they may have TIE'd, which could make it closer. we shall probably know after the first few overs.

End of Over 50: 272-3, runrate=5.44

Thornley* 75 (69 balls)

415-2, lovely. Three centurions, not sure I've had that before.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Bowled them out for 253 in the end, but I think the horse has well and truly bolted.
