The problem i have is that I have not set for a follow-on, so as I am at home do I take the fitness hit for more dosh by playing for a 3rd day, or do I declare my 2nd innings on a 100 and benefit from an extra days rest. My bowlers are on fair or invigorated PFL??

Reiger slowing up, but Thornley is having a stormer, posting the 1st double century in The Pett's history...

End of Over 88 (8 runs). Pettefershire CCC: 397-1, runrate=4.51
Chirwa 26-8-60-0

Last Wicket: Scholes Run Out 112 (FOW: 238/1)
87.6 3 Chirwa to Thornley
Short ball going down the leg side, Thornley takes it off his hips and nearly gets a four but fine leg's dive restricts it to three.
A double century. Very good innings this.

If you bat all day tomorrow, your bowlers should get a fitness boost, as they won't do anything, so you might as well get the extra dosh.

[Yorkshire Blue]

A good over injects some pace into proceedings and brings up my 300. I'm concerned about the hit Ramsden will take from this innings fitness wise though.

Howson 24-5-73-0
Finnan* 64 (82 balls)

Last Wicket: Thomas b. Benamar 51 (FOW: 225/5)
95.6 4 Howson to Ramsden
Sweetly timed drive for four.
95.5 4 Howson to Ramsden
Ramsden has struck that one very sweetly indeed. Four runs.
95.4 . Howson to Ramsden
Well forward, played out to mid off, Plummer doing the fielding.
95.3 3 Howson to Finnan
Short and well outside the off stump. Square cut by Finnan past point. Poor delivery that.

Maymann* 1 (2 balls)
Curtis 5 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Sajjad c. Cowan b. Austin 7 (FOW: 31/4)

Frustrating thing is our fit remarkables had a lot of trouble getting rid of their proficients yet my best batsmen are folding over against what looks like a superb bowler.
