[MrB]

Kev has asked me to highlight his match, apparently he's 'busy'. Doing what I have no idea, probably watching his toenails grow or something. However, here's what happened:

Inter Lancs: 247 all out
General Stars: 33 all out

Following on:
General Stars: 340 all out
Inter Lancs: 119 all out

General Stars win by 7 runs.

The message Kev would like conveyed is 'BRAG BRAG BRAG'.

[MrB]

And that's the end of the match. Napster's XI won by 6 wickets.

Nice win Naps, though I'd credit his ridiculous declaration more than your tactical nous!! Having said that I doubt he had many more runs left in his innings anyway.

Meanwhile, Hartburn and Tate continue to chug away, 61 over between them today so far.

End of Over 77 (6 runs). Cricket is for girls: 411-2, runrate=5.34 (1st Inn: 354-10)

[Yorkshire Blue]

A much needed win in the County Championship for my boys.

Not sure exactly how that happened. Muse batted a long time in the first innings - 130 overs - so maybe his batsmen were tired (but then shouldn't my bowlers have been?) but I managed to skittle his side out for 104 2nd time round, despite it being worse bowling conditions (ie sunny), leaving just 5 to win.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

And the 1,000 comes up :clap:

[Grayson]

Got to laugh at my batting performance today. Oh dear.

 

[blues_r_best]

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

End of Over 53 (Maiden). The Great Unwashed: 94-10, runrate=1.77 (1st Inn: 275-10)
Lead by 46 runs. (Southend United 323-10)
Overs left today: 31
Cahill 10-4-18-2
Tittagalla* 19 (118 balls)
52.6 W Cahill to Foy
That's a big wicket for Cahill, Foy moving to outside off stump, attempting the paddle-sweep and losing his middle and off stumps.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Got to laugh at my batting performance today. Oh dear.

Had you changed them to be more attacking?

 

[Grayson]

Had you changed them to be more attacking?

Not changed a thing. I wanted to play out for a draw.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Not changed a thing. I wanted to play out for a draw.

I don't get how you can go from making 300+ in overcast conditions to being skittled out for 100 in the sunshine.

Haha BRAG BRAG BRAG indeed. What an epic win and the very unlikely win extends my lead at the top of the charts!! OD match tomorrow against a winless TDC and then some 20/20 action next week!
