[Yorkshire Blue]

Managed to get them 4 down by the close of play, so 6 early wickets tomorrow would be appreciated to wrap up the game and allow my bowlers to put their feet up. I think 4 of them are at lively and 1 at invigorated.

 

[loz]

found it tough going today as i expected against the league's 2nd placed side. 268 all out with the bat, followed by them making it to 72 without loss by the close.

 

[* ORM *]

Nearly over after just one day - shame it's at my place

Played my donkeys again - resting players for Friday OD + SZ Cup - it'll be three games from now before I have a stab at entering a competitive FC game

They 505 for 0 :D

Me all out for next to nothing and following on 1 for 1 I think = YAY :p

 

[The General]

I got my oppo out for 220 ( max points! ) and am 90 odd for nowt in reply so max points on the cards for batting too. Set a declaration of just over 400 so the bowlers will get a chance to have a bowl tomorrow. Jackman had some excellent figures and will be interesting to see what happens when all my top bowlers play in an FC game. Might give it a go against Mrs BB's side ...

;)

Mrs BB has picked up a couple of wickets this morning, shouldn't take her too long to wrap up the rest, then it will be interesting to see how she gets on against knackered bowlers.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

3 wickets so far this morning, just another two needed to wrap up an early win

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Well they didn't enforce the follow-on, and we've whipped out a couple early-doors, including the guy who got all the runs in the 1st innings. Still going to lose though !

[Grayson]

Bowled out opposition for 80 and 144 today to win by an innings and 78 runs. Just a shame we only made 302 so have missed out on 2 points. Can't have it all, rest day tomorrow now.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Oppo leads by 379, with 6 2nd innings wickets left, so i would guess I would be batting 1st thing tomorrow. Best I can get out of this is a draw, but almost certain that I will lose.

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

Mrs BB's oppo leads by 131, with 8 2nd innings wickets left, so she's going all out to roll them over in the morning before chasing something in the range of 250

 

[The General]

Well a good days' play has seen me have strong grip hold on the game. I managed 402-4 after an excellent double century from Lamb. I then restricted the oppo to 102-4 and that means that they currenty trail by 70 runs. I may need to bat a little tomorrow afternoon but thats fine. A home game for me here, so i wanted it to last 3 days anyway. Nigh on £150,000 in the coffers so far, so hoping for another £75,000 tomorrow. Full points coming my way, which i needed after the top team in the league has his game won already!

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Well, no early declaration by my oppo, perhaps he wants a lead of 400 !

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I don't think my oppo has set a declaration target, so typical of my lot, when I don't want wickets they take them by the hatful :(
