FC Match 5

[* ORM *]

Last chance saloon for me really. At home to 4th and a win would see me leap into 4th as 5th will lose. He is also on Dusty so a win here and similar next week would be awesome. 1 defeat in the two and I am as good as down.

Both my main bowlers are at sublime and the rest of the bowling attack looking pretty good. My best batsman is only invigorated and has a form drop. At least he won't be needed on Friday. All down to whether I can skittle them out sub 250 I think.

 

[MrB]

Away at Highton who are 5th, last weeks draw means 2nd are only 10 behind so we're full strength and looking for max points. Sunny down in Sussex so we're looking to bat first.

 

[The General]

Looking like a bit of a delay on the game - hoping to bat first in sunny Lancashire as weather doesn't look ideal for Weds or Thurs!

Ok - I humbly give in to relegation 42 for 6. I'd have preferred commentary to have been down all day. Will switch all bowlers at close of play tonight and bowl 4 batsmen in very short bursts. Now all down to OD to keep my season alive :(

[MrB]

Bayliss as dynamic as ever then.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Away to the side in 2nd, so a win will virtually wrap up the division.

Pretty much at full-strength with only Nagga missing out. Got a few at Energetic, but have only played those that were there before this mornings updates.

Mucked about with the batting order a bit to try and save some PFL, but it hasn't really worked, with all of the lesser bats getting out.

Barnton Wanderers v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

End of Over 28 (4 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 70-3, runrate=2.50
Nisar 3-1-6-0
Evelyn* 19 (69 balls)
Pollock 30 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Hogg c. Os b. Maccallum 0 (FOW: 37/3)

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

Mrs BB only has one PFL worry, just Hutton on Invigorated, so she's full-strength bar him.

She's 4th at home to 5th, so a win for her will probably ensure that she stays up this season.

DIBS DIPPERS v AFC Greenwich

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 28 (6 runs). AFC Greenwich: 79-2, runrate=2.82
Sipho 7-0-32-0
Lowe* 32 (36 balls)
Akwenye 35 (83 balls)

Last Wicket: Aucott st. Stride b. York 9 (FOW: 24/2)

 

[The General]

Bayliss as dynamic as ever then.

Oh yeah!!

:D

 

[Grayson]

End of Over 30 (5 runs). Wollop: 66-2, runrate=2.20
Rennie 7-3-10-0
Sedgwick* 18 (43 balls)
Brumwell 33 (97 balls)
Last Wicket: Ross c. Thay b. Deakin 13 (FOW: 27/2)

The best batsman and a muppet (£490 wage) out so far. Hoped to have more wickets down, really want this over in two days.

 

[Grayson]

End of Over 35 (1 runs). Wollop: 79-3, runrate=2.26
Granville 4-0-15-1
Sedgwick* 29 (57 balls)
Meechan 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Brumwell c. Thay b. Granville 34 (FOW: 79/3)


Wicket from Granville means we are into the weaker batsmen. Two more and it's into the tail. Good morning session in the end.

 

[blues_r_best]

End of Over 41 (Maiden). WestSide VendeTTa: 102-5, runrate=2.49

Last Wicket: Shotton-oza c. Gichki b. Cahill 0 (FOW: 102/5)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Not good considering the conditions, still got some batting to come though.

Last Wicket: Schoeman c. Preece b. Nisar 17 (FOW: 115/5)

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

Mrs BB could do with a couple of wickets.

[SUFC_Al]

At home bowling first and skittled them for 28 although it took 37.2 overs!; currently 311-2. Should make 360 in the next 5-10 overs giving me another shot at the top order tonight. Should make for a short day tomorrow.
