OD - Week 5

[MrB]

Nearly fell foul of following the FC week number!

ShrimperZone CC v Jons Legends

We play 3rd this week, a very solid outfit, no out and out stars but 11 high rated players. We rest only the yoofs ahead of 7 nets combined training tomorrow and Lamo drops down the order to conserve energy for Sunday. Could also be Kev and Shearer's last games for the club, maybe.....

 

[Napster]

we're on course for another hiding.

 

[blues_r_best]

Playing seventh, should win but my bowlers are still tired.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

1st (me) against 2nd, in the first of 2 massive games this week-end. We're pretty much at Full-Strength, only Kekeletso misses out to save him for Sunday. We're at home on a GFI.

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

Mrs BB has a couple missing as she tries to juggle her side around with Sunday's Cup game in mind. She's 2nd and at home to 3rd on a GFI.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Sorry B, oppo has thrown my game, so we should be pretty good PFl wise on Sunday :)

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Poodlefakers

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 sunny day.

End of Over 2: 5-3, runrate=2.50
Schoeman 1-0-4-2
Hammond* 0 (0 balls)
Keen 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Blott c. Evelyn b. Schoeman 0 (FOW: 5/3)


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

DIBS DIPPERS v Borders Batters

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS 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 sunny day.

End of Over 2: 2-0, runrate=1.00
Eagles 1-0-1-0
Lonergan* 1 (9 balls)
Dharmapreya 0 (3 balls)

 

[The General]

End of Over 4: 14-0, runrate=3.50
Rehmatullah 2-0-7-0
Lamb* 4 (11 balls)
Raven 10 (13 balls)

Bound to lose a wicket soon. This lot very impressively beat Inspired Reality (the bunch with the elite top order!) and it now seems like todays oppo also has an elite top order! Oh the joys. Think they are all trying to counter my bowling attack!

Boo!!

No such luck here, they're being stubborn and we have a lot of very similarly skilled batsmen to get through.

End of Over 6: 24-0, runrate=4.00
Schofield 3-0-16-0
Yaddehige* 14 (19 balls)
Jeffery 10 (17 balls)

Well that didn't take long, Middleton following up his 8-2 on Sunday with 5-4 today.

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

End of Over 6: 12-10, runrate=2.00
Schoeman 2-0-8-3

Lovely Jubbly !

Win it with a six, I like the cut of your jib young man!

 

[Grayson]

End of Over 19: 88-1, runrate=4.63
Chavhanga 5-0-29-0
Thikhathali* 28 (55 balls)
Davenport 55 (51 balls)
Last Wicket: Healy st. Breckin b. Wilson 5 (FOW: 7/1)

Lost the toss and batting first in very bowler friendly conditions. Cracked pitch, cloudy and humid. Healy failed yet again, but we're going ok. Davenport needs to stay in for a long time.

 

[The General]

End of Over 20: 80-1, runrate=4.00
Kilbane 5-0-25-0
Lamb* 28 (54 balls)
Cook 5 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Raven c. Van dyk b. Garner 46 (FOW: 73/1)

Their weak link bowler is now on. I was hiding Browne and Sookram at 5 and 6 to coincide with the weaker bowler coming on, but that plan seems to perhaps have back-fired a little bit. Still, happy with the position so far and a good knock from Raven to kick off the innings!

Gichki being mean

Mabuso 42 (58 balls)
Last Wicket: Brough st. Wright b. Gichki 7 (FOW: 82/3)

 

[MrB]

Another one down and Mario has slowed them down nicely. Will have my usual worries when the target drifts past 150 though.....

End of Over 27: 102-2, runrate=3.78
Marriott 7-2-15-1
Jeffery* 36 (72 balls)
Charl 16 (25 balls)

Last Wicket: Akona b. Marriott 6 (FOW: 78/2)

 

[blues_r_best]
