[Yorkshire Blue]

GET IN THERE!

Ramsden is a legend. He's only a proficient-superb, but has seen me home countless times, including now my maiden win in the top flight.

Wide of off and smacked into the covers. The sweeper does the fielding.
42.5 W Plummer to Howard
Charges down the wicket only to be deceived by the slower offcutter which pegs back middle and leg stump! Bowled 'em!

Nice win. So I guess you're a shoe in for the title now?

You're going to have to go some to win this one Toddy.

[Yorkshire Blue]

Nice win YB

CHeers, just looking at yours and I suspect you might be a bit nervous....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Right, 2 medium pacers to finish - Middleton (Remarkable / Strong) set Attacking, and Curle (Superb / Remarkable) set Defensive, going to the wire

CHeers, just looking at yours and I suspect you might be a bit nervous....

Just a tad !:o

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Ooh - a couple of wickets, but a few runs as well

45.2 W Curle to Gain
In the air………… and out! An excellent catch over his shoulder by the man at deep square leg.
45.1 1 Curle to Farrell
Slower delivery, slogged to the off, extra cover fielding.

End of Over 45: 227-3, runrate=5.04, reqrunrate=8.80 (270-6)
Middleton 8-0-59-1
Farrell* 5 (2 balls)
Gain 120 (124 balls)

Last Wicket: Prag b. Middleton 47 (FOW: 218/3)


44.6 . Middleton to Gain
That came right off the meat of the bat but went straight to point. Middleton was lucky to get away with that delivery.
44.5 . Middleton to Gain
Good line and length. Gain doesn't play a shot and it goes through to the keeper.
44.4 4 Middleton to Gain
Cracked straight back past the bowler and the seagulls on the boundary rise into the air in alarm as the ball streaks through their midst.
44.3 1 Middleton to Farrell
He miscued the pull into his boot and hobbles down to the other end for one.
44.2 4 Middleton to Farrell
Short and picked up to mid wicket for a boundary.
44.1 W Middleton to Prag
BOWLED! A little jig of delight by Middleton as Prag troops back to the pavillion.

End of Over 44: 218-2, runrate=4.95, reqrunrate=8.83 (270-6)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Just a tad !:o

Both their 'in' batsmen out. Some pretty decent new batsmen in, but that should just have swung it your way.

Yep, 10 an over now, so should be safe.

Edit - might have spoken too soon

46.1 6 Middleton to Alder
Thwack! He's struck that ball on the up and it's landed 10 rows back.

Edit again - Obviously "Harrods" bowling

46.2 W Middleton to Alder
What a superlative catch! Alder has just been dispatched by an unbelievable ball and following catch from Middleton, diving full length to his left. Impeccable reflexes, simply impeccable.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ouch. BB has just been hit for 9 off the first 3 balls of the penultimate over. Worse thing is the batsman who hit the last 4 is rubbish.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

24 runs off the last 2 overs have left them needing 7 to win off the last, crap bat is on strike though.

Edit

49.1 W Curle to Hoult
Edged and gone! A crackerjack of a delivery from Curle! That did just enough and Hoult feathers an edge through to Evelyn, who makes no mistake.

7 off 5 now

Another edit

49.2 W Curle to Finch
Brilliant work from Evelyn! The bails were off in a flash. Finch thought he was safe but the 3rd umpire has lit the red light. OUT!

7 off 4

49.4 1 Curle to Farrell
Pokes it away and there's a single to the total.
49.3 1 Curle to Ashmore
Ashmore chips it over the infield and it lands safely in no-man's land on the leg side and they can jog a single.

5 off 2 - crap bat on strike

yet another edit

49.5 . Curle to Ashmore
He attempts to work it away on the leg side, but only manages to play it short into the ground.

4 to tie, 6 to win, last ball

YYYYYEEEESSSSS



49.6 . Curle to Ashmore
Textbook forward defence there.


Won by 4 runs !!!!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Not any more he isn't!

49.2 W Curle to Finch
Brilliant work from Evelyn! The bails were off in a flash. Finch thought he was safe but the 3rd umpire has lit the red light. OUT!
49.1 W Curle to Hoult
