FC Week 5

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Az's Allstars

We can tell you that Az's Allstars won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy day.

Missing Middleton, Schoeman and Pollock today, so could be struggling a bit.

But we're off to a good start as The Hurdy Gurdy man knocks over his 56k wage opener :)

Sussex Seagulls v DIBS DIPPERS

We can tell you that Sussex Seagulls won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Mrs BB has 4 spinners and a FM playing today on a Cracked pitch. Be interesting to see how she gets on :unsure:

She's lost an early wicket, but her strength is at 3, 4 and 5 today.

Tekere 28 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Mckenna b. Van niekerk 6 (FOW: 13/1)

Hmmm. Allan getting knocked about a bit.

 

[Napster]

He's playing a weaker team than I expected, and hidden the danger at no. 4.

 

[MrB]

Forgot to set orders, hopefully we can get it done in a day as my batsmen are really suffering in fitness terms. Richie is desperate for a rest and could do with him getting out today.

 

[blues_r_best]

Only Barrowdale plays from my first choice bowlers, and they've got fitness worries too, I hit their £60k bowler for 34 from ten overs as he's on low fitness.

End of Over 20 (2 runs). Southend United: 64-0, runrate=3.20
Rowley 10-2-34-0
Hoult* 20 (62 balls)
Artell 42 (59 balls)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Oppo's picked a 2 man team today, 1 bat who we cleaned up in the 1st 3 overs, and 1 bowler who could be useful. Apart from that they range from low Strong's rapidly downwards ! Only bugger is that we are at home.

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Az's Allstars

Az's Allstars won the toss and elected to bat.
Pitch: Green

End of Over 27 (Maiden). Az's Allstars: 63-9, runrate=2.33
Prasad 8-5-10-1
Bramble* 37 (46 balls)
Hansie 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Abeyagunawardene Run Out 0 (FOW: 63/9)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mrs BB in for an easy game as well. I think she's in the same situation as MrB, i.e nobody will take her on. It's just a shame they won't let her know beforehand, although she is away so should be able to wrap it up some time tomorrow.

Sussex Seagulls v DIBS DIPPERS

Sussex Seagulls won the toss and elected to field.

Kanelo 9-1-34-2
Phillips* 8 (17 balls)
Cook 15 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamb c. Hodgson b. Branch 46 (FOW: 104/3)

Went from 104-0, to 104-3! Lost both Lamb & Bayliss, as well as Deane. Raven and Cook play as batter's only, Browne is rested and Sookram is on International duty!


On the international scene, Sookram made his debut today in the Windies 8 wicket win over India. He opened the batting ... and made a dissapointing 19 runs from 33 balls! He got out after he was hit on the helmet and given LBW! Cant say i have ever seent hat in real life! :D

 

[blues_r_best]

He got out after he was hit on the helmet and given LBW!

Must have a long c*ck

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Must have a long c*ck

Toddy, I've just spat water all over my keyboard at that......:clap:

 

[loz]

bot-bashinhg, 60-9, Nkhangweleni 6-5-1-5

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Let them off the hook a bit from 23-7 (we failed to dismiss a, at best, woeful bat), but at least it's less time for the batters to ruin their PFL.

Sneath 7-0-37-0
Evelyn* 73 (85 balls)
Nagendranath 90 (86 balls)

Going to be tricky to get this into a 3rd day without totally knackering Evelyn, and I can't really afford to chuck away 100k gate receipts.
