OD - Week 2

[MrB]

Brianstoke Batters v ShrimperZone CC

Thing with Brianstoke is it's not just the level of player, it's the age as well. He's going to be a force for a long old time! Well, depending on what sort of wage warchest he has in the bank. I don't expect much today.

He has assembled the best squad in the game IMO!

General Stars -vs- Forza Juve

I added a bit of spice by slagging off his FC tactics this week and the boys are backing my banter up!

Welcome to General Stars CG for the match between General Stars and Forza Juve.

We can tell you that General Stars 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 humid day.

End of Over 24: 87-5, runrate=3.63
Deane 2-0-5-0
Young* 42 (57 balls)
Lever 0 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: van Schalkwyk b. Mbata 33 (FOW: 78/5)

They are better at bowling so dont want to chasing much over 160!

 

[MrB]

Thought we were doing ok when they were 23/0 off 8 overs in the sun. Then they stopped toying with me. My young all rounder is getting biffed about.

End of Over 26: 151-2, runrate=5.81
Nadeeka 3-0-26-0
Hougaard* 1 (4 balls)
Parnaby 44 (44 balls)

Last Wicket: Anderson c. Nadeeka b. Graham 84 (FOW: 143/2)

Southend United v Penistone 2nd XI

We can tell you that Penistone 2nd XI 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.

Let’s join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

End of Over 40: 172-3, runrate=4.30
Kealey 10-0-38-1
Tyler* 13 (13 balls)

[The General]

Excellent stuff from my boys.

End of Over 37: 118-10, runrate=3.19
Deane 6-1-13-0
Carragher* 1 (14 balls)

3 for Qazi and 4 for Mbata seals the deal.

Sold out my ground already and with BT20 coming up then i'll be considering expanding but due some tough games so will give it 2-3 weeks!
