Platt to Swayne
The ball loops up for Briers, but the chance of a catch is wasted as he lets it slip through his fingers. He really should wash his hands after gelling his hair before the match.

Swayne still living a charmed life!

 

[SUFC_Al]

349-2 at close. 66 behind. Swayne out for 140, quite glad after facing 259 balls!

With no positive result possible i may just bat for a while tomorrow. I bowled 137.3 overs so i'm gonna make them bowl for ages! Their manager hasn't logged in for a week so they'll just be on default orders.

 

[MrB]

366/6 in the end so max batting points but our lethargy in the afternoon means we didn't get any overs against them so we'll need the bowlers to have their A game out tomorrow if we're going to force a result. 86 run lead.

Check their past few matches - have they declared in the 2nd innings at all?

I think it'd be worth a gamble of doing this:

Declare at 360, get your points. Then let your most unimportant players bowl, rest the proper bowlers, and maybe they'll have a low declaration total. If they do, game on, if they dont, PFL preserved for the important players.

They've won 2 matches by an innings and the other they were bowled out for 135 in the 2nd innings so obviously can't tell but I may well do that, thanks.

 

[The General]

Brilliant day for me taking 16 wickets. Bowled them out for 179. Guy 4-40 and Raven 3-15. In the second innings they are 71-6 after Johnsons 4-41! Should get them out fairly pronto tomorrow and fitness hasnt been affected as much as i thought it would be!

1 wicket away from an innings defeat against 6th place which effectively confirms my worst fears that I have no chance of surviving this division. I will give the next game my best shot vs 4th place and if I lose that write off FC to focus on OD promotion and 2020 survival

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Didn't go quite to plan after yesterday morning, and the bowlers have thier work cut out on a Flat deck. Going to set them all to V. Attacking, as once I break this partnership, hopefully the rest will tumble.

Bowled the oppo out this morning to seal an innings + win! Very pleased with that and this result will definetly send me top as i was just 2 points behind the top team at the start of play Tuesday morning!
