Week 7 - The FC Thread

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Declaration has come, leaving me 98 overs to get 410 (RRR 4.18) or more realistically bat out the time.

The players are off the field for the change of innings.


End of Over 67 (1 runs). King Kong Ding Dong: 202-8, runrate=3.01 (1st Inn: 339-10)

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

Mrs BB has another breakthrough, but I don't think she's going to be happy that her skipper's taken off York after figures of 2-11 off 6 overs this morning.

End of Over 36 (2 runs). Exeter Bulldogs: 86-5, runrate=2.39 (1st Inn: 425-10)

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Steady start for my boys. I've changed Fat-Boy from Attacking to Normal, it seems to be working at the moment.

End of Over 7 (2 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 26-0, runrate=3.71 (1st Inn: 132-10)
Trail by 383 runs. (King Kong Ding Dong 339-10 & 202-8 dec)
Lane 4-1-5-0
Raziuddin* 8 (24 balls)
Ricketts 15 (19 balls)

384 needed off 91 overs (RRR 4.22)

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

Mrs BB could do with another wicket

End of Over 43 (2 runs, 1lb). Exeter Bulldogs: 113-5, runrate=2.63 (1st Inn: 425-10)
Lead by 185 runs. (DIBS DIPPERS 353-10)
Bradley 19-4-41-2
Mathieson* 7 (26 balls)

Last Wicket: Motson c. Wingham b. Bradley 0 (FOW: 82/5)

 

[The General]

End of Over 58 (1 runs). One Team....One...: 186-7, runrate=3.21 (1st Inn: 228-10)
Lead by 12 runs. (General Stars 402-4 dec)
Akram 15-4-43-3
Savage* 0 (14 balls)
Wright 114 (182 balls)

Last Wicket: Isaac c. Jackman b. Akram 0 (FOW: 174/7)

This Wright fella is getting on my tits. Mind you, he is 40K rated with sublime/eneggetic fitness but still, he is just prolonging the inevitable.

Hmmm, the team top of my FC league declared in their first innings on 256 so missed out on batting points. I'm not complaining as it means I'm now top!

1. ShrimperZone CC 7 6 1 0 0 27 21 132
2. Potato Heads 7 6 0 1 0 21 21 130
3. Lenzie XI 7 5 2 0 0 21 14 105
4. Every_one_a_Wrongun 7 3 3 1 0 27 18 91

It would probably be beneficial to my efforts to get up to IIif I stayed in IV in FC for another season however I'm not going to throw anything. Potato Heads are very strong so I expect they'll beat me in Week 14 anyway.

76.1 W Jackman to Fish
I think everybody heard that nick to Stanton. Fish didn't even wait around for the umpire to raise his finger.


More great figures from Jackie! Rather ironically, they get 228 again and i need a mere 55 to win!

[The General]

Another top result for my guys after a 9 wicket win especially with those that i left out. Jackman the stand out bowler with match figures of 46-17-60-6. Akram and Hitchman with 4 each and Thommo and Tomlinson also bowling well. This is definelty one of the good things about my squad. I have 4 bowlers who can do a job at my FC games and leaves the stars rested for the FC ( and cup ) matches.

Prof/Resp batt and Resp/Comp bowling with feeble fielding is good to see, considering the team i played.
