[MrB]

Only seems to be playing 4 bowlers which is a touch as they'll all hopefully tire pretty quickly, certainly seems the case with this guy. First 5 overs for 12 runs, next 4 for 41!

[MrB]

I declare that an excellent mornings work, worried that going attacking could cost us wickets but Lamo and Richie have been scoring at a very nice rate and if it continues we should have some overs at them later with the weather due to turn tomorrow.

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 34 (8 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 169-1, runrate=4.97

[Grayson]

End of Over 4 (1 runs). Southend: 1-1, runrate=0.25 (1st Inn: 361-4 dec)
Lead by 138 runs. (Rickmansworth 224-10)
Kaluwitharana 2-1-1-1
Davenport* 1 (9 balls)
Healy 0 (13 balls)
Last Wicket: Tsietsi c. Orourke b. Kaluwitharana 0 (FOW: 0/1)

Tough conditions to bat today, needed them to have to follow on but they narrowly avoided it. Means we could well get skittled out, leaving a short run chase.

 

[SUFC_Al]

End of Over 14 (2 runs). Southchurch Village CC: 51-0, runrate=3.64
Trail by 364 runs. (Dale 415-10)
Maruthi 7-1-22-0
Williams* 18 (28 balls)
Swayne 31 (58 balls)

They carried on batting and we got 4 wickets for 49 runs this morning getting them out a few overs before lunch. Not exactly sure what his game plan is to be honest as a draw benefits me more than him.

 

[Napster]

Better

End of Over 65 (7 runs). Napster's XI: 168-3, runrate=2.58
Trail by 215 runs. (Hammer Time 383-7 dec)

Philip* 47 (160 balls)
Armstrong 88 (172 balls)

Last Wicket: Shah c. Ameeruddin b. Parnaby 15 (FOW: 36/3)

 

[MrB]

A quick collapse from 193-1 to 205-4 has set us back a step. Mcleod continues his excellent form, 56 runs at an average of 7 across OD and FC this season, just what you hope for from someone halfway to remarkable! Need Sini and Plums to steady the ship.

End of Over 54 (4 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 223-4, runrate=4.13
Trail by 58 runs. (Purple Dinosaurs 281-10)
Morris 5-0-35-0
Sinethemba* 18 (41 balls)
Plummer 9 (14 balls)

Last Wicket: Mcleod b. Colley 1 (FOW: 205/4)

 

[SUFC_Al]

End of Over 30 (8 runs). Southchurch Village CC: 123-0, runrate=4.10
Trail by 292 runs. (Dale 415-10)
Qaba 7-0-31-0
Williams* 62 (72 balls)
Swayne 56 (110 balls)

Good stuff from my openers.

The commentary lines for Swayne suggest he's nearly been out numerous times already! This being the latest:

4 Qaba to Swayne
Good hit from Swayne, Platt is underneath it but gets his feet tangled and tumbles backwards much to the annoyance of Qaba. Four runs.

Guided to long off by Birkett, who supposedly plays an online cricket game called Battrick to unwind in his spare time. I wonder if that website has any commentary tips...

Self-advertising in the commentary lines!

Bob and Swayne get their 50 and 100 in consecutive balls.

 

[MrB]

Morris' first 6 overs went for 43, his last 9 for 12. We're slowing to a halt and won't have much time to bowl them out again and chase. Sini's score is particularly frustrating from a destructive batsman on attacking orders!

Destructive bat on normal!
