Battrick

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I'm playing the side that came down from III at the end of last season. Can't see that I'm going to beat them, so have TIE'd to save myself for Sunday's Cup Game.

End of Over 10: 47-2, runrate=4.70
Perry 5-2-17-1
Raziuddin* 29 (33 balls)
Tselane 10 (14 balls)

Last Wicket: Walcott lbw b. Perry 5 (FOW: 12/2)

Tselane is my star trainee, possible WI under-19, and it's about time he got some decent runs

 

[MrB]

Playing the team that finished 3rd last year (we finished 2nd), probably my main opposition for the title this season.

They're batting, we managed to restrict them to 1 run from the first three overs and they've been pretty slow since. The opening bowlers didn't threaten a wicket but then the second set came in:

11.1 W Sajjad to Ryan
Ryan has a backlift like an octopus falling out of a tree; all over the place. No wonder it's gone straight through him. Clean bowled.

End of Over 11: 33-1, runrate=3.00
Mccoy 1-0-5-1
Ryan* 25 (39 balls)
Boyce 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Mirfin c. Maymann b. Mccoy 7 (FOW: 33/1)

10.6 W Mccoy to Mirfin
OUT! A huge mistimed pull shot, the ball balloons in the air and Maymann takes an easy catch straight down his throat.

 

[The General]

Playing the team that finished out on promotion to III last year and they have made an o.k start and they were 43-1 off 11 ...

 

[blues_r_best]

Like B, playing the team that finished third and are one of the opposition who could seriously challenge for the title, especially with Ballard, their England U-19 spinner.

End of Over 21: 111-2, runrate=5.29
Richardson 4-0-24-1
Stone* 9 (13 balls)
Tunnicliffe 41 (36 balls)

Last Wicket: Riddell c. Connell b. Richardson 52 (FOW: 88/2)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Doing about as well as can be expected really


End of Over 25: 99-3, runrate=3.96
Boulton 3-0-8-0
Stannage* 30 (44 balls)
Tselane 28 (53 balls)

I've set my pitch to Slow to try and counteract his Strong top order, it's going to be interesting to see how it works out. I've done it once before in a Friendly and it worked OK

 

[MrB]

Another wicket falls, they've got plenty of batting to come though and my batsmen seem to have become averse to green pitches lately....

End of Over 28: 97-3, runrate=3.46
San 9-3-28-1
Janes* 34 (51 balls)
Harrad 5 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Boyce c. Askew b. San 23 (FOW: 83/3)

 

[Birri]

Over 27 185-0

 

[The General]

126-1 but into the 32nd over ...

 

[Davros]

Playin the team that finished 3rd last season (i came 2nd) they were better than me 3 seasons ago, but i caned them last season, seems they've taken a step back up tho, they are currently 180-2 off 32 overs. Need wickets and fast

 

[Birri]

Over 37 246-1

should be a nice easy win today against a promoted team.

 

[Davros]

they're 200-2 off 39 overs. This is annoying, not since the 3rd round of the cup last season have i failed to bowl out the opposition in a competative match

 

[The General]

My oppo are heading towards the 300 mark i reckon ...

 

[blues_r_best]

End of Over 41: 190-6, runrate=4.63
Bradford 6-0-38-1
Tunnicliffe* 94 (85 balls)
Cort 2 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Archibald c. Flood b. Bradford 6 (FOW: 186/6)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

End of Over 44: 151-10, runrate=3.43
Gurney 7-0-28-2
Rosenior* 19 (33 balls)

Last 7 wickets fell for 35, almost mid-90's Englandish

Hardly unexpected  

 

[Davros]

Phew, almost lost my record of bowling all comers out.

They were 277-3 with 47 overs gone

They finished 286 all out on 49.5 overs... now why couldnt they have done that 5 over earlier as up until them wickets, with that same two bowlers, over 41-46 were a run fest!

 

[Birri]

349-3 off my 50

 

[blues_r_best]

End of Over 50: 263-7, runrate=5.26
Rincon-hanna 10-0-47-1
Tunnicliffe* 124 (102 balls)
Marsh 39 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Cort c. Connell b. Bradford 6 (FOW: 204/7)

 

[Birri]

They are now 17-1

3.4 W Lyth to Felice
   Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Findlay who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!

OUCH

 

[Birri]

45-7 off 11

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I'm getting a good going over

End of Over 17: 106-0, runrate=6.24, reqrunrate=1.39 (151-10)
Everard 2-0-11-0
Mayers* 59 (61 balls)
