BT - FC Match 8

[MrB]

Massive toss to lose with sunny weather today and bad weather tomorrow, we may struggle, particularly as Mario hasn't moved off invigorated since Friday.

End of Over 3 (6 runs). Inter Lancs: 12-0, runrate=4.00
Overs left today: 107
Sutherland 2-0-11-0
Cooke* 0 (4 balls)
Hardy 12 (14 balls)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Away to the side in 2nd, who I lead by 5 points. Looking at his team, it should be an easy win, as he only has 4 bats, and nothing else at all. Promotion beckons :)

Stumpys v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a little uneven. Should be tough for the batsmen on this partially cloudy day.

End of Over 3 (3 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 10-0, runrate=3.33
Overs left today: 107
Dixon 2-0-6-0
Pollock* 3 (8 balls)
Evelyn 7 (10 balls)

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

Mrs BB in 4th plays the side in 3rd today. She probably needs to win 1 more game to guarantee staying up. She hasn't made the best of starts !

Ultraviolets v DIBS DIPPERS

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

End of Over 4 (2 runs). DIBS DIPPERS: 6-2, runrate=1.50
Overs left today: 106
Sullivan 2-0-4-1
Potter* 1 (3 balls)
Hutton 2 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Morgan b. Sullivan 1 (FOW: 4/2)

 

[Napster]

Too late to change orders, even though I was on there at 10:15. So, my strongest side is out, and no declaration set!!!

End of Over 6 (6 runs). Napster's XI: 23-0, runrate=3.83
Overs left today: 104
Garrity 3-1-7-0
Allan* 8 (15 balls)
Jefferson 15 (21 balls)

 

[MrB]

Ryan got tonked about and was quickly removed by Sandy. Big Phil comes in and makes an immediate impact.

End of Over 8 (Maiden). Inter Lancs: 38-1, runrate=4.75
Overs left today: 102
Schofield 2-2-0-1
Hardy* 30 (27 balls)

[MrB]

Suthers ripping through the middle order. Two bats left to get before the tail, Womack is a 200k+ monster but hopefully will run out of partners.

[Grayson]

I'm playing 2nd in what has turned out to be a big game due to the surprise loss last week. I'm 17 clear so a win here should see me win the league. Annoyingly lost an important toss though, cloudy and humid on a green pitch, but doing okay so far. I sent Thay in at the top to take up some balls, which he did, but for 0.

[The General]

Im away - but in Essex - so weather conditions dont look great all week! Im top and cruising. He's given me the game (lovely! :)) and although i've lost Lamb & Bayliss, i should cruise to 360 and then skittle them twice!
