Battrick - Week 11

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Could be a short game today as my oppo won the toss and decided to bat  

burcotebulls won the toss and elected to bat.
Pitch: Hard and Fast

End of Over 2: 6-1, runrate=3.00
Blackbourn 1-0-1-0
Otto* 6 (5 balls)
Fitzgerald 0 (2 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Watson Run Out 0 (FOW: 6/1)

 

[The General]

Another NRR improving game. Batting first so here comes 300+ hopefully ...

 

[MrB]

We're batting first which is rare as I normally choose to bowl. Pinch hitter Littler has already gone but there's plenty of batting to come.

End of Over 7: 33-1, runrate=4.71
Ingham 4-0-17-0
Maymann* 13 (16 balls)
Curtis 17 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: Littler b. Clitheroe 2 (FOW: 7/1)

Picked up this guy last night for £1.2m:

Nicolas Moore - 19 yo, BT Rating=19,482
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, changeable
A cautious player with strong leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: strong Concentration: competent
Bowling: competent Consistency: strong
Fielding: mediocre

Will be a handy bowling alternative when the FC games come in and I can now rotate my three all rounders.

 

[blues_r_best]

Playing the bottom team and currently scoring just under 7 an over, my 4 spinners could have a few problems on their cracked pitch later on.

 

[Birri]

Playing Muse, he is top i'm 3rd bottom and taking it easy as I know im going to lose. He stupidly chose to field he could have got a nice runrate out of this but now he will probably get me out for a small score & then his openers will smash that out in about 10 overs. I am currently 29-2 off 11

 

[The General]

Solid start:

End of Over 12: 84-0, runrate=7.00
Hird 1-0-7-0
Lamb* 37 (29 balls)
Ottley 42 (43 balls)

 

[Bucks_blue]

Today should be a doddle.

Gower has just hit what must be his quickest 50 ever...

Gower 51 (36 balls) anyone got one quicker? He's a steady player set to attack.

End of Over 12: 82-0, runrate=6.83

Pitch is green but still hoping for 300 plus.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

As predicted

Check out those bowling figures

End of Over 14: 56-7, runrate=4.00
Oconnor 2-1-1-5
Ockert* 1 (1 balls)
Otto 28 (34 balls)

Last Wicket: Ellis lbw b. Oconnor 0 (FOW: 55/7)


13.6 1 Oconnor to Ockert
It looked like two runs after a great cover drive by Ockert. However, excellent fielding by Alexis restricts them to one.
13.5 W Oconnor to Ellis
Huge shout for LBW and it's given! Replays are suggesting that was missing leg stump. That one's gone Oconnor's way!
13.4 . Oconnor to Ellis
Pitched up, Ellis drives well but finds the mid off fielder.
13.3 W Oconnor to Liddell
Bowled! Liddell misjudged that one and has paid for it with his wicket.
13.2 . Oconnor to Liddell
Flighted up full on off stump, comes well forward, defending with a dead bat, dropping it at his feet.
13.1 W Oconnor to Drayton
Drayton hasn't quite got all of this one. Alexis takes a comfortable catch in the deep. Oconnor gets a breakthrough!

 

[MrB]

We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this sunny day.

In your face sunshine!

End of Over 21: 152-1, runrate=7.24
Penn 4-0-31-0
Maymann* 68 (58 balls)
Curtis 75 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Littler b. Clitheroe 2 (FOW: 7/1)

 

[Birri]

Shockingly I am currently 126-4 off 31

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

End of Over 32: 93-10, runrate=2.91
Oconnor 5-2-3-7
Whittaker* 9 (36 balls)



31.1 W Oconnor to Angell
He could have walked for that one! So plumb in front that the umpire was embarrassed for him. That's out!


Marvellous figures

The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there

Well it would have been if I had batted first

 

[Grayson]

I read on the sledging boards the other day that bowling a side out cheaply and quickly getting the runs is just as beneficial. Anyway, the main aim is to win the games remaining. 158-4

 

[The General]

That's clipped Mitchell's pad as it goes down the leg side. Mitchell can't believe it. He's been given out, caught behind by Motterham. What a poor decision.

Had that piece of commentary for 2 of my batters who got golden ducks!! Tssk.

Mind you, doing rather nicely especially with Titterton and Stanton in!

End of Over 45: 310-5, runrate=6.89
Hardy 8-0-60-0
Titterton* 86 (76 balls)
Stanton 39 (28 balls)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 10 wickets.
burcotebulls 93-10
BATTY SHRIMPERS 94-0


End of Over 15: 94-0, runrate=6.27
Ellis 0-0-5-0
Ul-rehman* 54 (45 balls)
39 (43 balls)

Another 4.41 to the NRR

 

[Grayson]

Need 211 to win. 2nd place's opponents got 253 so hoping they can win too.

You will win muse its just how many overs you need to do it I am surprised I made 210 against you

 

[The General]

End of Over 50: 361-5, runrate=7.22
Innes 10-0-73-0
Titterton* 118 (93 balls)
Stanton 58 (41 balls)

Oppo are 45-8!

 

[MrB]

All very satisfactory here, 344 is a pretty decent total on a slow pitch. They're doing ok but I can't see it lasting.

End of Over 13: 76-1, runrate=5.85, reqrunrate=7.27 (344-2)
Laird 7-0-33-1
Kwan* 30 (37 balls)
Holsgrove 38 (34 balls)

Last Wicket: Lister b. Laird 3 (FOW: 4/1)

Nick's mob did pretty well! Problem for him is once you get rid of Maynard he has eff all else!

End of Over 50: 379-2, runrate=7.58
Crossley 10-0-86-1
Callery* 6 (3 balls)
Maynard 205 (157 balls)

Last Wicket: Peters lbw b. Crossley 47 (FOW: 368/2)

 

[Bucks_blue]

My innings:

End of Over 50: 368-1, runrate=7.36
Spencer 10-0-68-0
Gower* 179 (144 balls)
Wise 107 (87 balls)

Batsman out got 61. Not a bad batting practice for the lads!

They are making a fight of it though. They are 59-1 off of 13 overs.

 

[blues_r_best]

Didn't do too bad, made 353-4 of the 50.

Had a good first couple of overs bowling wise

End of Over 2: 1-0, runrate=0.50, reqrunrate=7.35 (353-4)

Curently

End of Over 43: 221-6, runrate=5.14, reqrunrate=19.00 (353-4)
