Thought I'd start this before Kev started his one.

Well, it's a season defining game today, 6th against 8th. Win and I'm virtually guaranteed 6th spot and a play-off, lose and it will probably come down to NRR as to who is automatically down and who isn't.

He's a bit of a two-man team, one player with a BTR of 192t, and one of 41t. Wish me luck !

We've lost the toss and are in the dirt...

1.1 W Blackbourn to Stone
 Slight movement away from him and a thin edge is taken by Raziuddin, tumbling away to his right.

End of Over 1: 6-0, runrate=6.00
Connelly 1-0-2-0
Stone* 1 (2 balls)
Sweeney 1 (4 balls)


A good start, but not the the 190k man unfortunately

 

[MrB]

4th v 3rd here. My pitch stuck on slow on it's way to flat so not sure what to expect. The big news is that Curtis has made it through the first 5 overs on his return to opening bat!

End of Over 5: 26-0, runrate=5.20
Mcintosh 3-0-20-0
Askew* 12 (19 balls)
Curtis 13 (11 balls)

 

[MrB]

Could Curtis finally be in the mood?

End of Over 7: 44-0, runrate=6.29
Mcintosh 4-0-30-0
Askew* 14 (22 balls)
Curtis 29 (20 balls)

EDIT:

7.4 W Makooi to Curtis
Great fielding by Fallon at extra cover. He swooped, picked up the ball and hit the stumps, though he only had one to aim at.

 

[The General]

My season is already over and am pre-paring for next season already. Will finish between 2nd and 4th as the top spot is already wrapepd up!

 

[MrB]

This is not good, I decided not to TIE at the last minute but wish I had now as I can see us collapsing yet again:

End of Over 9: 59-2, runrate=6.56
Mcintosh 5-0-38-1
Maymann* 7 (5 balls)
Sajjad 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Askew c. Maylett b. Mcintosh 21 (FOW: 51/2)

 

[MrB]

Another awesome performance from my top batsmen!

End of Over 11: 62-4, runrate=5.64
Aujla 1-0-1-1
Sajjad* 1 (4 balls)
San 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Moore c. Maylett b. Aujla 0 (FOW: 62/4)

Their bowling reporters summary has been competent/competent pretty much all season.

 

[The General]

I cant even get into my fixtures ...

Oooooooo at last. Im in.

Doing a little bit better than MrB at 73-3 in the 14th!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

About even here...

[Hong Kong Blue]

Bloody hell 2 for 3 was a start. Can't remember who I'm playing and where their best players bat. No doubt I'll end up doing an Essex and having got them under the cosh, let them off the hook.

 

[MrB]

Saj and San managed to get some respectability to the innings with a 70 partnership but both went quickly and we're now in the dead zone of the innings

End of Over 29: 151-6, runrate=5.21
Fallon 5-1-28-0
Holsgrove* 8 (19 balls)
Sheppard 2 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Sajjad lbw b. Makooi 42 (FOW: 148/6)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Still a game that could go either way, although I am now into his Woeful middle order. Just need to get Sweeny out...

End of Over 30: 151-4, runrate=5.03
Blackbourn 10-0-49-3

[Birri]

Im 5th playing 4th and I am 112-2 off 30 he is a better side than me so dont expect to win.

 

[MrB]

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Popped out to get some lunch, and came back to find they had had a bit of a collapse.

End of Over 37: 173-8, runrate=4.68

Ramsden 6-0-21-3
Atkins* 0 (0 balls)

 

[blues_r_best]

Playing the bottom team and would have prefered to bowl first and get them out cheaply, but have been put in to bat,

End of Over 46: 303-1, runrate=6.59
Husbands 8-0-50-1
Bartlett* 121 (123 balls)
Sugden 144 (125 balls)

Last Wicket: Flood c. Rudi b. Husbands 24 (FOW: 39/1)

 

[Bucks_blue]

TIE against 3rd bottom. I;m at home and they batted first on my dusty track and got:


End of Over 50: 233-5, runrate=4.66
Dodd 10-0-50-1
Best* 52 (47 balls)
Gledhill 8 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Uppal b. Dodd 13 (FOW: 211/5)

This game could be tight... Not at all confident of getting that target.

 

[Birri]

Made 229 all out off 49.4 so just hope my bowlers can do some damage and knock out his openers early as I set them attacking.

 

[The General]

Got 244 all out. 105 from Titterton helped. His poor fitness is really holding him back so gunna put 2 nets on his fitness as from monday.

They are 27-0 after 7 overs!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]
