[BILLERICAY BLUE]

As good as morning as could be expected, nice to pick up the big wicket in the last over before lunch. Need to wrap it fairly quickly, then we can bat til the end of the day and declare overnight.

The players are off the field for lunch.

Trail by 126 runs. (BATTY SHRIMPERS 364-4 dec)

Last Wicket: Baines c. Potter b. Mohammed 0 (FOW: 116/7)

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Lunch of the 2nd day, and in great shape. Have set a declaration target of 450, which means they'll have to hit 257 to make me bat again, but hopefully may even skittle them out today if there are enough overs left in the day.

The players are off the field for lunch.


End of Over 63 (2 runs). The Flying Scotsmen: 352-0, runrate=5.59
Lead by 158 runs. (Uganda Kobs XI 194-10)

Tekere 134 (172 balls)

 

[MrB]

Working our way through them. Hoping to see a third day as I got £30k today, doesn't seem much but with a £360k p/w wage bill margins are very tight at the moment!

Not sure whether I enforced the follow on.

End of Over 42 (1 runs). Poloc CC: 86-7, runrate=2.05
Trail by 278 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 364-5 dec)
Keegan 5-0-11-1
Rhodes* 1 (2 balls)
White 47 (108 balls)

Last Wicket: Carbon lbw b. Keegan 8 (FOW: 85/7)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Good performance to knock them over for less than 250, Brucie cleaning up the tail. No declaration set, but we should have enough by the end of the day to decalre ovcernight.

Pentland won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Flat

End of Over 4 (1 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 11-0, runrate=2.75 (1st Inn: 364-4 dec)

Pollock* 2 (10 balls)
Evelyn 9 (14 balls)

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

Good stuff from Mrs BB, but she needs to make inroads fairly quickly as Mohammed and Eagles have done a lot of bowling.

Yorke 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Siriwardene lbw b. Walker 17 (FOW: 177/5)
48.6 W Walker to Siriwardene
The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger but I'm a little sceptical. It seemed to hit Siriwardene above the knee roll and he also had a good stride in.

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

More a case of when than if. Still well chuffed with my batting performance (all 2 of them that did bat!)

The players are off the field for the change of innings.

Lost it this over

Trail by 152 runs. (Rodbourne Green 165-10 & 191-10)
Christiaan 7-1-26-2
Wright* 55 (79 balls)
Joost 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Gichki lbw b. Christiaan 1 (FOW: 114/5)
31.6 W Christiaan to Gichki
Thackeray appeals for leg before... and the umpire is in agreement! Astonishing! Christiaan looks rather embarrassed to be given that one!
31.5 1 Christiaan to Wright
I think the physio will be on soon. Wright pulled that short ball viciously and it hit Yorke, who was fielding at short leg. Certain four saved, but that'll be a bruise in the morning.
31.4 1 Christiaan to Gichki
Angled in, managed to stroke it out into the covers for an easy single.
31.3 . Christiaan to Gichki
Good ball there which pitched on the crease and probably would have just hit the off stump. Gichki puts his bat down in the way and blocks it.
31.3 nb. Christiaan to Gichki
A swing and a miss from Gichki. Christiaan is giving him some grief now.
31.2 . Christiaan to Gichki
Fullish ball outside off stump, stands tall and plays a strong drive into the covers, straight to a fielder however.
31.1 W Christiaan to Hulse
Blinding catch in the gully by Siriwardene - that was hit hard and low.

 

[MrB]

All done.

And that's the end of the match. ShrimperZone CC won by an innings and 147 runs.
