FC - Match 9

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

4th (me) at home to 2nd. He leads me by 7 points, and I'm only 14 points off the top. Last weeks OD defeat means it will be difficult to gain promotion, so we're going to have a crack at FC. To that end we're at full strength with everyone at Sublime.

 

[The General]

BOT time! :) I want this over in a day, and its a good start!

End of Over 1 (Maiden). Middlesex Moon Dogs: 0-1, runrate=0.00
Johnson 1-1-0-1
Nurse* 0 (0 balls)
Town 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Pretorius c. Guy b. Johnson 0 (FOW: 0/1)

 

[The General]

And apparently Sookram will play only his 2nd U19 game tomorrow!

 

[MrB]

No bot but they have thrown the game so this could be pretty brutal today as we're at full strength.

End of Over 3 (13 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 30-0, runrate=10.00
Andrews 2-0-24-0
Cunningham* 9 (10 balls)

[blues_r_best]

Playing second away, put in to bat when wanted to bowl, and have lost a big wicket already.

End of Over 4 (Maiden). Southend United: 10-1, runrate=2.50
Gaynor 2-1-4-0
Marcel* 2 (2 balls)
Hoult 2 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Artell b. Lomas 2 (FOW: 8/1)

 

[Napster]

Put in to bat against an average side, lower than me in the table but only just.

End of Over 5 (4 runs). Napster's XI: 18-0, runrate=3.60
Misbahuddin 3-0-13-0
Prag* 6 (10 balls)

Crunch!

Bissell 4-0-34-0
Cunningham* 29 (21 balls)
Lamey 44 (27 balls)

7.6 4 Bissell to Lamey
Cracking shot for four by Lamey, Wainwright had barely moved by the time the ball slammed into the fence.
7.5 2 Bissell to Lamey
Nicely improvised, not one for the purist though!
7.4 3 Bissell to Cunningham
Gently stroked to mid off, misfield and three runs is the result.
7.3 4 Bissell to Cunningham
An exquisite shot. He leaned on the ball and flicked it away to the square leg boundary.
7.2 4 Bissell to Cunningham
Effortless, pushed wide of extra cover and races to the boundary. That was pure timing.
7.1 4 Bissell to Cunningham
Nothing short of a hurricane could have stopped that!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Unsurprisingly I'm in trouble against Ladbrokes

End of Over 25 (6 runs). Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmother XI: 68-3, runrate=2.72
Howland 5-1-13-1
Montgomery* 15 (19 balls)
Finnan 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Pembridge st. Hanna b. Howland 34 (FOW: 68/3)
24.6 . Howland to Finnan
No run, Finnan waits on the back foot and pushes to backward point.
24.5 W Howland to Pembridge
Pembridge advances down the pitch to negate the spin, poorly... he's GONE!

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Good toss for me to win today, as tomorrow's conditions will be much better for bowling. Lost The King cheaply and Nagga's gone as well, but we should have enough batting to get us to a decent total.

Mitten 11-2-33-5
Cahill* 1 (2 balls)

 

[Napster]

Last time I played this mob, I lost, because their numbers 8&9 put on a 100 partnership, and I declared at 300 in the second innings, after forgetting to change my orders. Trust me this won't happen again.
