BT20 Leagues

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Won by 4 wickets.

Who fares better on a dusty wicket: medium pace, fast medium or fast?

I've tended to find Medium Pacers work best, and FM worst.

 

[Grayson]

Medium pacers best, fast worse for me. I've used a dusty track at home for a long, long time, and have since ditched the quicks for two medium pacers being trained.

My attack is 2 FM, 1 M and 2 spinners currently, and it works well on most tracks and is why I'm doing so well in my opinion.

Same as me but I'm looking to replace either an FM or a Spinner with a quick.

 

[The General]

On a TIE, I bowled my oppo out for 78 and i managed to lose Cook, Waterhouse and Bayliss in the process but Sookram saw the team home with just 8 overs gone.

The next 2 games are probably going to be the hardest of the group and i'll be looking to win them both.

Just £30,000 through the coffers! Eeeeek!

 

[MrB]

Having had my opponents at 10-4 and 66-8 they somehow made 111. No problem chasing though. Am impressed there was no jet lag issues from flying out to Aus in 10 hours to get the game played!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Mrs BB snuck home by 4 runs against an Aussie III side last night, to make it 2 wins out of 2.

 

[blues_r_best]

Oops, lost my second game

meh

 

[SUFC_Al]

comfortable nine wicket win. Sonics 103-7 for and we knocked them off in 12 overs.

 

[MrB]

Seems a bit weird that with 12 teams in the league, only 1 team gets promoted!

Baseball Without Fun v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this sunny day.

Total reserve side out against a BOT.

My II's struggling to knock them over.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

All out at last, although they got 30 more than they should have. We should knock them off without too many probs though.

The players are off the field for the break between innings.

Prasad 3-1-10-3

[Davros]

great work from Ramage... but could someone not have acted a little sooner!!

End of Over 20: 151-10, runrate=7.55
Ramage 4-0-41-4
Schalk* 8 (8 balls)



19.6 W Ramage to Glazier
Sweep shot, top edged and deflected off the shoulder, straight up into the air. A level-headed Fray completes a simple catch and sends Glazier on his way back to the pavilion.
19.5 W Ramage to Stewart
Ramage gets one to turn extravagantly away from the lunging Stewart and Fray whips off the bails. Stewart is out by a few inches. Lovely flight from Ramage, neat work from Fray.
19.4 W Ramage to Ireland
Ireland is arguing that he was far enough forward to that one. Umpire's not having any of it, though. On your way.
19.3 W Ramage to Ayre
Fray has taken a blinder. Simply brilliant work behind the stumps.
19.2 . Ramage to Ayre

Pitch: Green
And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 10 wickets.
Baseball Without Fun 84-10
BATTY SHRIMPERS 85-0

2 out of 2.

 

[Grayson]

Made 213-3. Granville scored 63 off 30 balls, including six 6s to take him up to 10 of them in two games.

They were all out for 99. Tonight will be the rest game, and so everyone has 2 fitness updates before the big one on Friday.

 

[* ORM *]

Having thrown my first two games with joke lineups I find myself bottom of the group. Though I'm in V I should be strong enough to clear bottom 4. Have a tough but winnable game today against someone with a reasonable batting line up but average bowling. Still need to rest a few but all rounder plays bat only and star seamer makes an appearance.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Should be another easy win today.

Toughish game for Mrs BB, but she should win.

DIBS DIPPERS v Aspley Guise CC

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

 

[MrB]

I panicked for a moment:

0.5 W Schofield to Marriott
That's a high ball and... caught! Beautifully judged catch there. The breeze caused the ball to swirl but he's taken it cleanly.

Then I remembered I have a Schofield, phew!

End of Over 2: 6-4, runrate=3.00
Shearer 1-0-3-2
Serrant* 3 (1 balls)
