Curtis* 53 (39 balls)Maymann 28 (40 balls)
Last Wicket: Sajjad c. Cowan b. Austin 7 (FOW: 31/4)

YB, both set to normal as didn't feel the need to go too attacking on a green top. They'll certainly be attacking in the second innings!

Attack, attack, attack! Especially on a green pitch if they are better than the batsmen they are up against.

Finished 332-5.

Finnan* 74 (115 balls)
Ramsden 51 (124 balls)

Ramsden was set very attacking! But still not bad for a proficient.

 

[The General]

Batting practice needed at General Stars. That 3rd wicket partnership from Mrs BB has killed me!

All out for 68.

20 wickets today!

Im 3-0 (1 over) in the 2nd innings!

[MrB]

Crazy days play. First 75 over were dull as hell, overs 76 to 94 saw 10 wickets and then Cold Rod and Skip hit a 119 partnership in 16 overs! Not counting any chickens as their main bowlers will no doubt be back in the morning however after being 31/4 I can have no complaints!

End of Over 25 (12 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 150-4, runrate=6.00
Trail by 66 runs. (Every_one_a_Wrongun 216-10)

Hoping we can add another 100 tomorrow and then let the bowlers be a bit more aggressive.

 

[loz]

483-3 at the close: quick declaration tomorrow.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

All out for 247, oppo 7-0.

Kev, I think Mohammed is going to be a bit too much for your guys, but we shall see....

 

[* ORM *]

Yay. It may be against bottom of the league no hopers but I almost won it within a day so that is one of my two victories this season 7th place and autorelegation secured nicely ! Cannot remember if I was at home or not but if so I will forego one days lost income.

 

[* ORM *]

BTW Sundays orders set B :D

 

[Birri]

Playing the team below me declared on 509-6 got oppo 6-1 already and ticked the follow on :finger:

 

[MrB]

35.1 6 Garrity to Sheppard
Oh my word, now that is special; pitched up on middle and leg and Sheppard takes half a step to meet it and just flicks it over square leg for six of the best. Pure timing, pure class, pure Sheppard.
