OD - Match 1

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Hubbards Hills CC

Home to the side that finished 4th last season. FC BOT-bashed this week, so full-strength side out on a GFI.

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS 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 windy day.

End of Over 26: 82-0, runrate=3.15
Begg 3-0-8-0
Usman* 28 (68 balls)
Van-geersdaele 52 (89 balls)

DIBS DIPPERS v Los Galactico

Mrs BB back in Level III after her slightly unlucky relegation last season. Her oppo also had a BOT to bash in FC this week, so she's at a bit of a disadvantage. She's at full-strength on a GFI as she has a BOT in the Cup on Sunday.

She's made a reasonable start, but is 1/2 a bowler short, as she can't find anyone to fit the bill for £4m.

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a little uneven. Should be tough for the batsmen on this partially cloudy and windy day.

End of Over 25: 100-3, runrate=4.00
Lock 6-1-16-0
York* 36 (64 balls)
Pietersen 31 (48 balls)

Last Wicket: Peters b. Eagles 24 (FOW: 49/3)

[* ORM *]

Not expecting to win this against the side also promoted - they match me for bowling and edge me for batting. Not scoring quickly enough either.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Looking as though we should win this, but not too sure with the new ME as to how it will pan out...

I now have them at 100-5. Another wicket and the game should be mine.

 

[The General]

This new ME is going to take a while to get used to! Lots of scores around 210/220 it seems! All a bit odd! I think the sooner the OD format is trimmed down to 40 overs the better!
