They won that session, but the wicket in the last over of it has kept them in check. Would take a 50 run deficit.

So a 360 declaration would have got you max batting and bowling points and a lot more rest.

My BT won't load, my company have been tightening their net security so I'm worried it might be blocked.

From twitter:

battrick The web server is having a few issues at the moment not allowing us or you on to the site. We are trying to sort it right now.

battrick Bit of a server update - no-one can get in touch with it at the moment. We are getting the chaps on site to take a look. More as we have it.

Still no specific news to give you I'm afraid apart from it is looking pretty serious and there may be an extended downtime. Stay tuned.

 

[MrB]

Worrying.....

 

[Grayson]

Hopefully they're teaching my batsmen how to score runs. I can dream.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I hope we don't have to replay the games......

It seems as if the best way to increase our Twitter followers is to shut the site! :) Welcome to all the new guys and gals.

Oh and no more news for the moment. But thanks for the helpful "turn it off and on again" advice :)

I got dished up a nice collapse during the downtime. Rennie having to score runs with the tail again like yesterday. Last doing a great job to last (...) 50 balls so far. Will be setting attacking bowling orders tomorrow as this wont be a draw.

Won inside two days for the third game in a row. Took 30 overs more to bowl them out than the first innings but a pleasing win.

 

[* ORM *]

Game interestingly placed. I bowled them out for 393 in 140 overs. Currently 293 for 6. No batting to come so i am hoping firstly to get six runs to avoid follow on and secondly to stick around long enough so that if be tries to score quickly and declare I have 60 or so overs to bat out for a draw. I fear a second innings collapse though. Those 4 pts for a draw could come in quite handy. Though I am fifth both my next games are winnable and 4th is looking an achievable target.

 

[MrB]

Very pleasantly surprised to see we skittled them for 56 in the second innings for a 2 day victory.

Nobody at invigorated today so should hopefully have a fully fit team for tomorrow.

The first time in god knows how long that we haven't bowled out a team in FC, ended the day on
