OD - Week 4

[blues_r_best]

A very quick 67 ball century from Drury put us in a very good position, might actually win this one, but if you want entertainment, watch my game for the bowling performance. And Ball went for 96 off his 10 overs.

End of Over 50: 362-4, runrate=7.24
Laird 10-1-59-3
Boateng* 12 (11 balls)
Drury 106 (69 balls)

Last Wicket: Gamage b. Laird 15 (FOW: 313/4)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Disappointing last over, but overall better than I feared.
-------------------------

The players are off the field for the break between innings.

End of Over 50: 264-6, runrate=5.28
Apted 10-1-40-3
Ramsden* 20 (17 balls)
Mcintosh 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Holt c. Daniell b. Apted 36 (FOW: 264/6)
49.6 W Apted to Holt
Straightforward outside edge into Daniell's gloves.
49.5 1 Apted to Ramsden
Gently guided down to third man for the single, Pembridge running in to field.
49.4 . Apted to Ramsden
Apted finds some nice turn but Ramsden just pads the ball away to short leg. No run.
49.3 1 Apted to Holt
Advanced, played around to the region of deep mid wicket for the single.
49.2 1 Apted to Ramsden
Well hit but straight to long on and they’ll only get one.
49.1 1 Apted to Holt
Dabbed to point for a quick single. Monkhouse shies at the non-striker's end but misses.

 

[MrB]

Saj survived! Albeit he only had to face one ball after getting his century....

End of Over 50: 321-2, runrate=6.42
Finnis 10-0-63-0
Askew* 60 (65 balls)
Sajjad 101 (97 balls)

Last Wicket: Cook b. Bishop 108 (FOW: 187/2)

Pleased as all the runs were made by players with sublime fitness, now if we can turn them over quickly we should have pretty much a fully fit squad to choose from for the cup.

 

[The General]

Meh .......

 

[Napster]

End of Over 4: 25-3, runrate=6.25, reqrunrate=4.28 (221-10)

Higgs 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Blewitt lbw b. Tuckett 10 (FOW: 25/3)

 

[Davros]

managed to bowl them all out (albeit with the last ball of the innings...) for 278... will be a tough chase

End of Over 50: 278-10, runrate=5.56
Tebogo 10-0-51-2
Morrison* 1 (3 balls)

 

[blues_r_best]

Blimey...

0.3 W Stubbs to Smallwood
Stubbs bowls it full and he's hit middle stump, Smallwood turns around and the umpires giving him the finger.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Right, I'm about to head off to Walsall. If anyone wants to text me my result feel free, if not you can let me know how I got on at the football tomorrow.

 

[blues_r_best]

Double blimey

0.6 W Stubbs to Gooding
In the air, and caught. Gamage could have caught that with his back to the play. Gooding is clearly frustrated with himself.

End of Over 3: 22-2, runrate=7.33, reqrunrate=7.26 (362-4)
Stubbs 2-0-15-2
Richards* 9 (5 balls)
Sekani 7 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Gooding c. Gamage b. Stubbs 2 (FOW: 7/2)

Cook 2-2-0-2
Finnis* 0 (5 balls)
Gibbons 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Solomon lbw b. Cook 6 (FOW: 7/2)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

16-0 off 6 overs a tight start, but I'm off. Fingers crossed I can take some wickets. They've a very nice middle order.

 

[MrB]

I want to have Suthers' babies!!

End of Over 7: 18-4, runrate=2.57, reqrunrate=7.07 (321-2)
Sutherland 4-0-14-2
Gibbons* 6 (6 balls)
Johnson 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Jeffery b. Sutherland 0 (FOW: 18/4)

6.3 W Sutherland to Jeffery
Got him! Unlucky for Jeffery, he played on. But full credit to Sutherland, tempted him into a loose shot, thick inside edge and the stumps are in a right mess.
6.2 W Sutherland to Finnis
Sutherland lets out a rocket. Inswinging yorker! Clattering the stumps. There goes 1, 2 and 3 into the crowd!

 

[MrB]

All is well here:

End of Over 9: 22-7, runrate=2.44, reqrunrate=7.32 (321-2)
Sutherland 5-0-15-4
Gibbons* 10 (9 balls)
Smallwood 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Bishop lbw b. Sutherland 0 (FOW: 22/7)

 

[The General]

Jackman again!

Last Wicket: Marsden c. Lamb b. Jackman 6 (FOW: 12/2)

 

[Napster]

Nguyen-Lee does his job

End of Over 17: 97-5, runrate=5.71, reqrunrate=3.79 (221-10)
Nguyen-lee 4-1-21-2
Loubser* 51 (46 balls)
Brammer 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Oakley c. Back b. Nguyen-lee 0 (FOW: 97/5)


16.6 . Nguyen-lee to Brammer
Nguyen-lee gives that one a bit more air and Brammer makes a mess of playing it. Luckily it misses the stumps and Back gathers it in.
16.5 . Nguyen-lee to Brammer
Big shout for caught behind! The umpire isn't impressed. Not out.
16.4 . Nguyen-lee to Brammer
Nguyen-lee is always trying to make something happen.
16.3 W Nguyen-lee to Oakley
Did he find the edge? Back certainly thinks so, and the umpire agrees! Oakley will be very disappointed with that, just pushed at a wide one.
16.2 W Nguyen-lee to Higgs
That's gone high into the stratosphere but it's come down straight into the keeper's gloves!

 

[MrB]

All over. 5 for Suthers, 4 for Cook. 37,500 in the ground so we've netted a nice £580k in gate receipts this week with a cup match to come.

 

[Davros]

good start to the batting...

End of Over 16: 111-1, runrate=6.94, reqrunrate=4.94 (278-10)
Sedgemore 3-0-24-0
Tekere* 56 (43 balls)
Gadd 24 (26 balls)

Last Wicket: Cole c. Leader b. Athar 24 (FOW: 62/1)

 

[Napster]

Woody strikes

End of Over 23: 108-6, runrate=4.70, reqrunrate=4.22 (221-10)
Woodgate 2-0-3-1
Loubser* 56 (65 balls)
Dickman 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Brammer c. Booth b. Woodgate 3 (FOW: 108/6)


22.6 . Woodgate to Dickman
Wide of off, cut straight to backward point.
22.5 W Woodgate to Brammer
OUT, well held! Brammer cuts it, and backward point takes it out of the air to his right. Great catch!

 

[Napster]

End of Over 28: 141-8, runrate=5.04, reqrunrate=3.68 (221-10)
Tuckett 9-0-48-3
Loubser* 79 (83 balls)
Hitchen 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Swales lbw b. Tuckett 5 (FOW: 141/8)


27.6 W Tuckett to Swales
And there goes the appeal ... and he's given him out. Tuckett celebrates as Swales was caught walking across his crease and he looks disappointed as he goes back to the pavilion.
27.5 4 Tuckett to Swales
Tuckett briefly had the batsman in two minds with that delivery. He didn't know whether to hit him for four or six. Swales eventually settles for the four.
27.4 3 Tuckett to Loubser
Booth is going to have to run a long way to fetch that one. Three runs for Loubser.
27.3 1 Tuckett to Swales
Played to third man. He wants two but the non-striker sends him back.
27.2 . Tuckett to Swales
Big appeal! Back dives full stretch after a leg side delivery and gathers the ball. Tuckett thinks it caught the gloves or bat on the way through but the umpire turns it down.
27.1 W Tuckett to Dickman
What a bizarre way to go! Dickman ducked early under that bouncer but left his bat sticking up like a periscope. the ball ricochets off the back of the bat and into the hands of a gleeful Back
