FC - Match 7

MrB

Life President
ShrimperZone CC v icedgod

They beat me last time, no mercy this time. Everyone is fit, hopefully for once we can win the toss and bowl first in the cloudy conditions.
 
Sigh.....

Welcome to Garon Park for the match between ShrimperZone CC and icedgod.

We can tell you that icedgod 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.
 
Haha, what a great start.

End of Over 8 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 11-3, runrate=1.38
Overs left today: 102
Crane 4-3-2-2
Sinethemba* 8 (25 balls)
Mcleod 0 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Sandile c. Alvi b. Crane 0 (FOW: 11/3)
 
Quiet here today!

Decent recovery and Macca is giving his evil twin a kicking.

End of Over 28 (10 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 79-3, runrate=2.82
Overs left today: 82
Mcleod 7-0-35-0
Sinethemba* 41 (83 balls)
Mcleod 31 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Sandile c. Alvi b. Crane 0 (FOW: 11/3)

27.5 6 Mcleod to Mcleod
Slower delivery, scooped over a wide long on for the max.
27.4 4 Mcleod to Mcleod
Full and on middle stump, Mcleod just pushes it down the ground for a boundary. Sheer timing from Mcleod there.
 
Been busy this morning for some reason :thumbdown:

BATTY SHRIMPERS v No Talent Allstars

I'm 3rd in the division and am playing the side in 4th. He's a semi-bot, so he has some good players, but they're all at Lively / Fresh, not stopping him giving me a bit of a kicking at the moment though....

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS 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 30 (8 runs). No Talent Allstars: 119-1, runrate=3.97

Mountsfield C.C v DIBS DIPPERS

Mrs BB playing the bottom side, and she'll win fairly easily.

We can tell you that Mountsfield C.C 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.

End of Over 30 (Maiden). Mountsfield C.C: 103-4, runrate=3.43
Overs left today: 80
Mohammed 10-2-12-0
Bonner* 61 (78 balls)

Last Wicket: Westall c. Stride b. Eagles 4 (FOW: 31/4)
 
Macca falls just before lunch but at least we've got some runs on the board. Hopefully Awan can actually do something, it's his FC debut today as he's not been in my default line up as I kept forgetting to change it. His OD average of 9 is hardly inspiring for a remarkable though.

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (8 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 105-4, runrate=3.00
Overs left today: 75
Tasawwar 4-0-20-1
Awan* 3 (4 balls)
Sinethemba 58 (109 balls)

Last Wicket: Mcleod c. Crane b. Tasawwar 37 (FOW: 96/4)
 
Well its a top-of-the-table clash at my place as the top team travel to my place!! Im 7 points behind them and we have 2 days of bowler friendly weather conditions and the 3rd day (if we get there) could see the same thing happening! Im bowling first and not doing as well as first hoped. Mainly cos i have 5 batters only playing to accommodate a couple of duff bowlers so if its not going our way, we can save on fitness for the bowlers!


End of Over 63 (5 runs, 2lb). Welsh Wizards: 163-3, runrate=2.59

Johnson 14-5-30-1
Thorp* 60 (148 balls)

Last Wicket: Dennis b. Waters 12 (FOW: 144/3)

£400,000 for the bank man!

Getting mullered, but his default declaration is set at 360, so there's still hope.

Mrs BB in charge of her game, helped in no small way by Eagles' amazing figures of 10.5-4-28-9

Dickson 10-3-23-0
Sekani* 52 (85 balls)
Sabata 0 (3 balls)

Should be a routine max points. However they have a couple of taster bowlers and rolled over 2nd place last week. Nothing less than 3 bat points and a win is needed for me. 2nd place is going along reasonably having reduced opps to 181-5
 
The old stagers doing the business at the bottom of the order to give us an unexpected batting point.

End of Over 78 (1 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 201-7, runrate=2.58

Crane 19-6-28-3
Marriott* 35 (76 balls)
Plummer 40 (100 balls)

Last Wicket: Awan b. Mcleod 20 (FOW: 138/7)
 
They've declared after battering us all day. As they were all at Lively at the start of play, hopefully they'll have killed themselves for the 2nd innings.

Last Wicket: Casper b. Cook 25 (FOW: 215/5)

S-L-O-W progress!
 
Immense stuff from these two, a 2nd batting point accrued and a ton partnership, more then doubling their previous 8th wicket record.

End of Over 93 (4 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 246-7, runrate=2.65
Overs left today: 17
Kealeboga 20-2-50-0
Marriott* 54 (117 balls)
Plummer 66 (149 balls)

Last Wicket: Awan b. Mcleod 20 (FOW: 138/7)
 
Once Plums departed we added one more run so missed out on a 3rd batting point. But a fantastic recovery from 11/3 and 138/7. Only downside is I'd rather it wasn't the all rounders doing all the batting!

End of Over 100 (1 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 269-10, runrate=2.69
Overs left today: 10
Mcleod 16-1-72-2
Marriott* 70 (133 balls)

Overs left today: 6
Johnson 23-7-56-1
Inam* 2 (17 balls)
Thorp 129 (259 balls)

This Thorp fella is blooming annoying as he's only something like wonderful so cant believe Guy or Waters haven't got him! Be nice to get them out this evening but cant see that happening!!
 
Finished the day on 80-2 chasing 191 - I could still get rolled over without three batting points. All about Mckie as usual. Off to Singapore today sans laptop and can't access BT through work and Blackberry. Hopefully public net at the hotel otherwise I could be relying on periodic emails from General or Mr B :p (hint)
 
Ended the day on 93-0, after they declared on 363-2. Hopefully rack up 360 nice and quickly, and get them back in before their PFLrecovers from yesterday's efforts.

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

Mrs BB 318-5 after bowling her oppo out for 117. She'll declare at 360 and try and get it finished today.
