[Yorkshire Blue]

Hmmm, attacking in FC? Sounds a bit crrrrazy but maybe I'll give it a go!

I normally set my middle order attacking or very attacking. I normally set an opener attacking as well.

 

[MrB]

I only don't as I've only played on cracked & green pitches so far!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I now lead by 18 runs, with a bowling change due. The good news is their 5th bowler is now due on, the bad news is that one of their opening bowlers is due to return.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I only don't as I've only played on cracked & green pitches so far!

I'm on a green pitch with humid conditions today. I tried to set my openers more defensive, but I want my middle order to counter-attack against their weaker change bowlers. Unless all your players have defensive mentality and the opposition have 5 equally strong bowlers, you should have at least a couple of players attacking.

 

[MrB]

Not really had to think about it that much yet. First game I got thrashed, second game I thrashed them. No real tactics involved thus far!!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Hmm, I might have declared a bit early. His openers have wages of £36k (WK/Bat) and £48k :eek:

End of Over 6 (7 runs). Wolfmen: 25-0, runrate=4.17
Trail by 338 runs. (BATTY SHRIMPERS 363-3 dec)

[loz]

slight collapse late on, but some tail-end fun from Francis.. we'll declare at 500 tomorrow.

End of Over 110 (9 runs). Pettefershire CCC: 479-7, runrate=4.35
Innes 25-2-90-3
Francis* 13 (13 balls)
Ahmed 73 (84 balls)
Last Wicket: Stevenson b. Innes 0 (FOW: 454/7)

 

[The General]

Ended the day on 170-7! Jackman last 2 balls this time. Certainly wont need to set any declaration targets!

Kev

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Finished 163-3. That is 53 runs ahead. Keigher 77* and Thomas 67*.

Tomorrow the forecast is for not quite as helpful bowling weather as the final day, so I'll try and bat for two-thirds of the day and then try to rip out their top order after tea, before having a rest overnight and trying to finish them off on the final day. As it is a home game, I'd like to bat on a bit longer to maximise gate receipts. In all probability, their opening bowlers will open in the morning and take a couple of wickets which will allow their lesser bowlers to gradually work through my order and bowl me out short of my declaration target.

 

[* ORM *]

Well well - ORM in competes in FC game shocker. Finally made 316 including a 148 from star batsmen and an unheard of 58 run partnership from 9 and 10 batsmen. Lucky if I get half that with the last 5 usually. One of their bowlers is a shocker so I guess orders might change for them. In reply first ball wicket and closed at 41 for 2. Game on or at least until i get blasted out the game tomorrow :d

 

[Grayson]

My plan went wrong. Hid Granville at number 7 in the aim of him not batting, and we go to 56-5! He hit 180 not out to take us up to 308 all out. Very disappointing score, but the conditions favoured bowlers today. Midi CC have ended the day on 16-0.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Declared at 363-1, but they have raced to 84-0 off of 14 overs. Forecast today is Partly Cloudy and Humid, so need to bowl them out quickly and enforce the follow-on, otherwise it's going to be tough to win.

 

[Napster]

got them all out for 273, should put on a big total today...

 

[MrB]

Set Cooky & Cold Rod to very attacking and reset the declaration target to 520 so Cooky can get his century. Will then be hoping my bowlers can do the business.

 

[Napster]

Bugger

End of Over 1 (Maiden). Napster's XI: 0-1, runrate=0.00
Trail by 273 runs. (Twenty Esterling Rogues 273-10)
Dempster 1-1-0-1
Jefferson* 0 (0 balls)
Sutherland 0 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Murray b. Dempster 0 (FOW: 0/1)


0.6 . Dempster to Sutherland
Whoa! Swing and a miss by Sutherland. Any later and he'd need a note from his parents.
0.5 . Dempster to Sutherland
Fullish ball, angling in on off stump, watchfully forward, defending up to mid off with a straight bat.
0.4 . Dempster to Sutherland
Pitched up, Sutherland drives well but finds the mid off fielder.
0.3 . Dempster to Sutherland
What a ball! Dempster can't believe he didn't get his man there!
0.2 . Dempster to Sutherland
Played all around that one. Sutherland looked a little bit vulnerable for a moment there.
0.1 W Dempster to Murray
Through the gate went the ball, and to the pavilion went Murray. A great wicket taking delivery!
