[Grayson]

Ouch. Didn't check the pitch, and ended up electing to bat on a green wickets on a cloudy and humid day against a very good attack. All out 45.

barnetti playing Truncator but looks like Park Avenue will win with max points which will scupper his chances.

Tomlinson 11-0-61-0
Allardyce* 134 (135 balls)

Apparently he has a weak bowling line up but i only have 5 batters playing, couple of cack YP's and 4 out and out average bowlers!

 

[MrB]

Great patient batting from Saj (he got a pair in this fixture last time I think!). Shame I left the declaration in.

Twas all going so well - them batting first on their flat pitch and 211-6. Can't seem to break the seventh wicket partnership though. They closed at 298-6. If I can break it and get them out for less than 350 I fancy myself to bang runs in at quite a rate tomorrow. Probably set for a draw but we shall she.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Have oppo 111-6, chasing my 405ao. Quite a pleasing start as they are the 2nd best team and I've rested a couple of players..

B****** Leon Clarke wide.

Not sure if I'll be able to bowl them out twice, as I'll have fitness issues.

 

[MrB]

Just about forced the follow on and barring disaster the minimum we should get is a draw which will be enough to see us promoted as we got more bonus points:

End of Over 25 (7 runs). Potato Heads: 60-0, runrate=2.40 (1st Inn: 202-10)
Trail by 103 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 365-2 dec)
Mushtaq 6-0-21-0
Tselane* 19 (78 balls)
Flower 40 (72 balls)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I enforced the follow-on and picked up one of their better batters, but expect a long time in the field to get rid of the rest of them.

If I got my maths right, I got promoted last week (might have even been the week before).

Fortunately no fc play-offs and it is a straight promotion.

 

[Grayson]

After my 45 played their 149, Granville scored a brilliant 179 not out in our second innings to help set them 208 to win. They're 17-0, and I hope we restrict them tonight and get favourable weather tomorrow to get the win.

Last Wicket: Thompson Run Out 0 (FOW: 413/9)

Surviving!

You've avoided the follow-on and should therefore be able to close out a draw.

 

[MrB]

A quick double from Hot Rod means the win is now on:

End of Over 34 (3 runs). Potato Heads: 89-2, runrate=2.62 (1st Inn: 202-10)
Trail by 74 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 365-2 dec)
Horrigan 7-1-19-2
Sura* 5 (9 balls)
Lovers 7 (6 balls)

Last Wicket: Tselane c. Askew b. Horrigan 27 (FOW: 80/2)

 

[The General]

All out and took an early wicket. They lead by 160 and as YB says, a draw is well and truly on the cards!

 

[* ORM *]

Took me too long too dismiss them today - finally all out for 370. I closed around 317 for 2. Have set batsman to attacking and declaration at 600. Set a couple of the bowlers to attack as well but realistically this is a draw.

 

[Grayson]

Won't be needing BB's assistance tomorrow cos some tosspot bid 10million for the bloke I was after. Bugger :(

Opposition also ended 53-0, so won't win that either. C'est la vie.
