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

Terrible batting performance by Mrs BB's lot. More nets required I think...

Overs left today: 52
Hook 10-2-29-1
Sookram* 100 (153 balls)
Deane 9 (41 balls)

Last Wicket: Cook lbw b. Hodgson 8 (FOW: 128/6)

Thank God for Sookram. It didn't help that Browne went for a golden duck and no-one else has contributed.

 

[blues_r_best]

Opened an end and they went from 153/6 to 153/ao.

The players are off the field for the change of innings.

End of Over 61 (Maiden). Goochies Greats: 153-10, runrate=2.51
Overs left today: 49
Walker 10-4-23-1
Ellis* 0 (1 balls)
60.6 W Walker to Pearce
The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger but I'm a little sceptical. It seemed to hit Pearce above the knee roll and he also had a good stride in.

 

[MrB]

Not sure I'll ever get to the declaration that quickly again! Bad timing really, could have done with this game in the middle of the season rather than in Week 1 and Week 14.

The players are off the field for the change of innings.

End of Over 43 (9 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 363-0, runrate=8.44
Lead by 344 runs. (AFC Wimbledon 19-10)

Overs left today: 40
Hook 16-3-56-1
Sookram* 128 (185 balls)
Deane 32 (82 balls)

Last Wicket: Cook lbw b. Hodgson 8 (FOW: 128/6)

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

This partnership has proven to be a bit of a bugger. If I could open up an end I would feel much happier.

The players are off the field for tea.


End of Over 70 (5 runs). MG Kippers: 271-4, runrate=3.87
Overs left today: 40

Last Wicket: Cook lbw b. Hodgson 8 (FOW: 128/6)

 

[Napster]

theyre 355-3, likely result is now a draw

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Struggling to make any headway against an Exceptional and a Wonderful, and with the weather carp for tomorrow, I'm going to do well to get a draw out of this..

[SUFC_Al]

Have the relegated team, Tioman Islanders, first up away on my least favourite pitch, dusty.

I have the better all round side though so looking for a winning start to the campaign. If i do well against these guys first place ought to be mine this year!

well it turns out to be a flat pitch in sunny weather! They batted first and made 267-10. We're currently:

End of Over 10 (7 runs). Southchurch Village CC: 45-1, runrate=4.50
Trail by 222 runs. (Tioman Islanders 267-10)
Overs left today: 14

Birkett 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Last c. Tshisevhe b. Tota 16 (FOW: 38/1)

 

[MrB]

If we don't finish this today I'll be a bit narked off!! It's taking bloody ages.

End of Over 30 (Maiden). AFC Wimbledon: 27-8, runrate=0.90 (1st Inn: 19-10)
Trail by 317 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 363-0 dec)

Last Wicket: Johnson lbw b. Hodgson 0 (FOW: 349/9)

Sookram got a superb 200 but just lost him and Johnson in 2 balls after losing Deane for 80 odd a few overs before. Cant see me getting 11 more runs!

[The Flying Scotsman]

Managed to survive a tricky last 4 overs. They seem to have a tidy bowling unit so will be interesting to see how things develop tomorrow.

End of Over 4 (4 runs). The Flying Scotsmen: 15-0, runrate=3.75
Trail by 351 runs. (MG Kippers 366-10)
Overs left today: 0
Whiting 2-1-4-0
Tapp* 9 (14 balls)
Dunstan 5 (11 balls)

 

[The General]

Got bowled for 349 in the end and would have taken that after the start we made. No inroads made this evening but a nice bowling day tomorrow, but a draw is odds on at the moment!

Last Wicket: Tarry lbw b. Marriott 7 (FOW: 27/8)

Not too far behind you

Bowled opps out for 19 and they are 1 for 2 wickets after my 362 for 3 declared. Three batsmen rested for this but Blinkhorn's mediocre bowling form saw him picked with an interesting 2 wickets for 1 run in a 14 over spell. 7 for 15 for my reserve all rounder.

I have only one team to fear which is my third match in. They have a fantastic top order but I have much better bowling.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

My bowlers managed to go around the park for 302/4 off 75 overs before the opposition captain had mercy and declared. I struggled to 63/2 off 35 overs in reply. Slight difference of run-rates there!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Not the best day in the BB household either.

My oppo rattled up 381-5, and with poxy batting conditions due today I'll do well to get a draw out of this. Have set my declaration at 320, so that if by some miracle we get there, we have a chance to make some inroads in the better bowling conditions.

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

Mrs BB got rolled over for 120 odd and her oppo are 168-3 in reply. Only hope is that the predicted bowling weather enables her to roll them over cheaply this morning, otherwise she'll do well to avoid defeat.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Don't think I needed to worry about a declaration...:(

Ouch, the perils of losing the toss!

I won the toss yesterday when it didn't matter so will no doubt lose every vital toss this season.
