FC - Match 5

[MrB]

Moss Side CC v ShrimperZone CC

2nd v 3rd, two days of sun forecast in Lancashire so a good toss to win.

We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this sunny day

 

[Napster]

Playing a side which were fairly decent, but now a bot. Rested Allan and Neeky for the big OD on Friday.

 

[Napster]

and it's a good start

Welcome to Bark Light CG for the match between Bark Light and Napster's XI.

We can tell you that Bark Light won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a little uneven. Should be tough for the batsmen on this partially cloudy day.

The players are off the field for tea.

Overs left today: 33
Clist 19-7-43-4
Joost* 19 (52 balls)
76.1 W Clist to Cahill
Cahill has a nightmare. The ball goes through off his pads only to be caught by the keeper. The umpire thinks for a second and gives it out LBW. Keeper looks a little crestfallen but really, what difference does it make?

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Managed to bowl them out for 234 and now hoping to make hay against their "fresh" bowlers.

End of Over 2 (2 runs). The Flying Scotsmen: 3-0, runrate=1.50
Trail by 231 runs. (Commodores cc 234-10)

Sagren* 116 (113 balls)
Perry 108 (104 balls)

 

[MrB]

Plodding along at a frustratingly slow pace but wickets still in hand and the second batting point is registered.

End of Over 83 (7 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 240-3, runrate=2.89
Overs left today: 27
Gray 15-2-51-1

Last Wicket: Sandile c. Gooneratne b. Juries 35 (FOW: 175/3)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

My opponent has fielded a reserve bowling attack, so I've already declared. He appears to have kept two good batsmen in though, and they are holding me up (and helping me make sure I get some gate receipts)

End of Over 12 (9 runs). Thommos Trojans: 48-1, runrate=4.00
Trail by 384 runs. (Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmother XI 432-1 dec)
