Challenging declaration from Mrs BB, as she tries to force the win.

Pitch: Green

End of Over 14 (2 runs). Victoria Park CC: 48-0, runrate=3.43 (1st Inn: 229-10)

Mohammed 7-2-11-0
Poole* 14 (40 balls)

All 3 results still possible. Sadly a win is looking th least likely with only 1 wicket taken
 
Looking safe, glad none of the batsmen have made a massive score, be happy for the remainder to share the runs between them as long as we get the target to over 5 an over.

The players are off the field for tea.

End of Over 60 (3 runs, 1lb). ShrimperZone CC: 266-3, runrate=4.43 (1st Inn: 338-10)

Last Wicket: Cunningham c. Hodge b. Pierce 102 (FOW: 206/3)
 
Bloody stupid game :( I have the strongest bowlers yet the have passed 1st innings score 1 down. draw loss win in that order at present
 
The players are off the field for the change of innings.

End of Over 101 (Maiden). Four Oaks Saints CC: 282-10, runrate=2.79 (1st Inn: 191-10)
Lead by 194 runs. (Southend United 279-10)
Overs left today: 37
Hulse 21-2-61-2
Gould* 43 (105 balls)
100.2 W Hulse to Thomas
Thomas snatches defeat from the jaws of victory! He somehow managed to scoop that rank long hop straight into the waiting hands of Gichki on the boundary. That should have been six, not a wicket.
 
Bore draw, which hasn't done PFL's any good at all. Going to have to accept BT20 relegation now I think, and probably FC relegation as well.

Match drawn they had 8 wickets left and fell. 6 short. In real life they'd have waltzed it with overs to spare though to me the Match engine makes no sense. Will post details later for fedback thoughts
 
So here we go

ShrimperZone Vets CC TC Revolution
Top Order: remarkable miraculous
Middle Order: proficient quality
Lower Order: feeble worthless
Seam Bowling: exceptional useless
Spin Bowling: sensational exceptional
Fielding: feeble woeful

All my bowlers were sublime and none set for more than 8 over stints

I batted first and made 231 then rolled them out for 161. Second innings I declared on 253 for 6 setting them 323 to win in 85 overs. They were up with the RR all the way through but finished on 318 for 2. If anything they should have finished me off with plenty to spare but scored something like 12 in the last 4 overs.
