OD - Week 8

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I think we are going to need to be prtty close to this by the time the last 10 starts. Got 1 more good bat to come after these 2, then a couple of Strongs, then the 3 rabbits.

Richie falls, great knock though. Can the AR's see us through the final ten? The RR shouldn't be a problem but wickets could.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Bloody hell. To chase 237, and Evelyn and Polly get 12 between them is a fantastic effort.

And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 7 wickets.
Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmother XI 237-10
BATTY SHRIMPERS 238-3

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Very nice win BB, expect a 2:55 entrance to the Spread from YB tomorrow......

Thanks mate. Might just forego my hot-dog tomorrow. If he offers me a drink, I'm tempted to ask for a double ;)

 

[MrB]

Looking good at the moment, could be a very unexpected win and if we get it then I'll be very pleased I didn't GFI!

End of Over 44: 234-4, runrate=5.32, reqrunrate=7.00 (275-3)
Goodman 7-0-43-0
Marriott* 26 (27 balls)

Last Wicket: Cunningham c. Goodman b. Stephens 93 (FOW: 176/4)

 

[MrB]

Ok, clench bottom....

44.3 W Lekgwathi to Marriott
The LBW curse strikes as a straight Lekgwathi delivery keeps low, striking Marriott on the knee roll in front of middle stump. A simple decision for the umpire and Marriott's innings comes to an end.

 

[blues_r_best]

And that's the end of the match. Southend United won by 5 wickets.
Nineone ACC 208-9
Southend United 209-5

[MrB]

nononononononono......

45.4 W Goodman to Sandile
Poor delivery, full and slow. Sandile leant back, and got right underneath it, smacking it straight into the air and straight down the throat of Rutherford.

 

[MrB]

Just what you need in the last 10....

46.4 . Lekgwathi to Benjamin
Pitched up, Benjamin mistimes the drive to the mid off region, no run taken.
46.3 . Lekgwathi to Benjamin
A straight ball from Lekgwathi is well defended by Benjamin.
46.2 . Lekgwathi to Benjamin
It's all about line and length, and that one from Lekgwathi had both. Great delivery.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

He's obviously playing himself in.

You'll win if you don't get bowled out....

 

[MrB]

Go on the Plums!!

47.1 6 Goodman to Plummer
That's some shot from Plummer, who trots down the track and hits Goodman straight over the top for six.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Good start to over 47

47.2 1 Goodman to Plummer
Great bowling, great shot, but great fielding restricts Plummer to one run. Who says cricket isn't great?
47.1 6 Goodman to Plummer
That's some shot from Plummer, who trots down the track and hits Goodman straight over the top for six.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

14 needed off 14....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

12 needed off the last 2.
