You sure YB?

45.4 W Hammill to Daniels
Organ has done exceptionally well to pick the ball up looking straight into the sun. Well taken and Daniels will now be heading back to the pavilion

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

5 needed one wicket remaining and up against a 200,000 BTR bowler and a 170,000 BTR bowler

 

[Grayson]

And that's the end of the match. Southend won by 8 wickets.
Bowling Bowling Mushy 227-10
Southend 228-2


End of Over 48: 228-2, runrate=4.75
Hull 8-0-54-0
Davenport* 121 (115 balls)
Granville 52 (53 balls)

What a result! Wickets in hand was the day's winner - we bowled them all out whilst they couldnt dislodge my top 4 easily. Davenport has earnt his wage this week for sure. BBM have lost just once all season (twice now!) and should beat me. With 5th and 6th winning today, this win is huge and leaves me sat in 3rd 4 points clear of 4th. Had written this game off too when looking at the season's fixtures.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

46.3 lb1 Nichol to Dodd
Slanted down the leg side, off the pads and an easy leg bye.
46.2 1 Nichol to Holt
Wide delivery, smacked to deep cover region for an easy single.
46.1 2 Nichol to Holt
He's gloved it but just wide of the wickie's fingertips. Two runs.


C'MON ON!

 

[Napster]

Looks like you've won

 

[Napster]

46.6 1 Nichol to Holt
Excellent cricket from Holt, dropping this at his feet and nicking a single.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

GET IN THERE!

That's what I call a tight finish.

 

[Grayson]

Well played YB :)

Good wins guys, hope I can make it a treble.

Through the gap and bowled! The fielding side congregate in the middle but Lea looks a little taken aback as Garvey pats his bottom.

Easy single.
47.1 1 Lea to Chandrasiri
On the toes, pushed to the ground, mid wicket fields as they scramble for the single.

Solid stroke down to long off.

Westall smashes the ball straight back to Lea, who puts out his hand and pushes the ball up in the air to be taken on the second attempt. Caught and bowled.

Must be favourite now

Ratings suggest they were unlucky, but think today showed how vital getting Sipho in was. 6-33 and took 2 of their sensational opening rating.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Come on - 13 need off 8 balls with just 2 wickets left

48.4 W Oconnor to Lightbody
Lightbody runs that one down to third man and they should get an easy single. Raziuddin slings the throw in and Lightbody will have to hurry... Oh amazing! He's run him out from a good 35 metres!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Bloody hell 4 and a 3 off Des' last 2 balls leave them needing 6 off the last over. Lea to bowl at the tail-ender.

Oconnor 10-1-59-1

Edit - 2 dots - 6 needed off 4.

Edit - another dot - 6 needed off 3

Edit - yet another dot - 6 needed off 2, why do get the feeling I'm going to lose this !

 

[Grayson]

4 dots. 6 from 2.

Now 5 dots. 6 or bust.

And it's a maiden. Well done BB.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Nice to bowl a maiden with 5 needed off the last over!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

YES - shove that up your pipe Pendle CC

Lea repays part of his 9m transfer fee by bowling a last over maiden

And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 5 runs.
BATTY SHRIMPERS 240-10
Pendle CC 235-8
