Lead by 417 runs. (General Stars 417-10)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[MrB]

Hope you set your boys to V attacking. I'm sure they could do 500 runs in 30 overs.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

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

End of Over 43 (1 runs). Adders CC: 75-10, runrate=1.74 (1st Inn: 373-10)
Lead by 120 runs. (BATTY SHRIMPERS 328-10)
Oconnor 8-4-14-6
Sale* 1 (10 balls)

121 needed off 37 overs (RRR 3.27)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

My opponent clearly forgot to change their second innings declaration target and has left me needing 106, having declared on 372-3.

Should have enough time to win, which should hopefully boost morale of players and fans.

 

[* ORM *]

Demonslayers: 160-6, runrate=3.56 (1st Inn: 370-10)
Lead by 48 runs. (ShrimperZone Vets CC 482-10)

Still possible for me to pull it off !

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Boo I lost to the team who is bottom due to them deciding to field their strongest team which they have not done since the 3rd FC Match. They won their Level III OD league so I guess decided to play their strongest.
Oh for the record i have faced this team's strongest 11 both times, I won the first one.


I need to get my stamina sorted on the Bowlers as their PFL has really screwed my promotion push from FC. I had been top of the league for nine games then due to my middle drawing spree dropped to 2nd.

Also I have beaten the top team twice. :cry:

:flamer:

Add it to your trumpet and we could start off a SZ Battrick orchestra.


I'm 70-0 closing in on the target.

 

[* ORM *]

No dice here - they are 86 ahead with 3 wickets left - twice in 3 weeks I've just not had enough time to pick up a win,

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

28 needed off 13 overs, so a win for me

End of Over 24 (9 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 93-1, runrate=3.88 (1st Inn: 328-10)
Trail by 27 runs. (Adders CC 373-10 & 75-10)
Oconnor 3-0-18-0
Evelyn* 60 (59 balls)
Middleton 23 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Ricketts lbw b. Tarrant 9 (FOW: 30/1)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

20 runs left, not sure how many overs. Both batsman are set to defensive orders (my opponent wasn't the only one not to change their orders!).

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

You get 40 overs from tea til stumps, so work it out from that

I need 8 more runs, so it shouldn't be an issue. My no.3 bat, my reserve 'keeper, got out so I expect I'll have won by the time I've worked it out anyway!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

"And that's the end of the match. 8 wickets."

Presumably means I won.

 

[The General]

End of Over 45 (2 runs). General Stars: 215-1, runrate=4.78 (1st Inn: 417-10)
Trail by 229 runs. (Cricket Geniuses 556-0 dec & 305-8 dec)
Hoult 5-1-10-0
Hitchman* 37 (36 balls)
Bayliss 94 (133 balls)

Not sure i will make it!

:hilarious: :D

 

[loz]

lost by an innings, but it was a nothing game and only 1 of the first choice bowlers played. Tomorrow's OD is a different matter however, the winner avoids auto relegation so it's 1st XI and my first GFI of the season.

 

[The General]

Boooooore draw.

 

[SUFC_Al]

beat the 2nd place side today to finish 2nd! True most of the teams in my division were bots but not too bad going as i took over with no wins and the team I started with was crap.

 

[* ORM *]

Drew leaving me 7th by one point from 6th and probably a win and a draw over the season will have kept me safe. I'm assuming next season will be easy enough for me and then I'll be strong enough to maintain a top 4 spot in V. On balance it's probably better for me to have started in V rather than VI and a league full of bots
