Have a guess....
BATTY SHRIMPERS v DIBS DIPPERS

Big day in the BB household, as we meet for only the 2nd time in a competetive match.

Both sides at full strength, Mrs BB has Arnold and Kealey at Energetic with everyone else at Sublime, whilst we have a fully fit squad.

Toss could be crucial as it's PC today and Sunny tomorrow.

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this partially cloudy day.

End of Over 15 (Maiden). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 36-3, runrate=2.40
Overs left today: 95
Arnold 8-2-14-1
Nagendranath* 0 (2 balls)
Downing 0 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: White c. Zubair b. Arnold 7 (FOW: 36/3)

Not good, as Mrs BB has taken out my top 3 early doors. However we did take 706k through the gate today :smile:
 
Big game against Vulgar Boatmen today after two defeats last week. Weather is Sun/PCH/PCW so a massive toss to win and it went our way. Lost Sini early but Lamo is anchoring well again and Guneratne is maintaining his form so a good morning session. Gambled on winning the toss and fielded a stronger bowling line up so we only bat down to 7 but my army of seamers should make hay on his green pitch in PCH tomorrow.

Having said that, we were on this score last week and ended up all out for about 160 so I'm not assuming anything :smile:

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (2 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 131-1, runrate=3.74
Overs left today: 75
Vickers 6-0-29-1
Guneratne* 75 (99 balls)
Lamey 47 (95 balls)
Last Wicket: Sinethemba c. Manzini b. Vickers 7 (FOW: 18/1)
 
We can tell you that Deep Backward Square Leg won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

Let’s join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (Maiden). Deep Backward Square Leg: 73-3, runrate=2.09

Recovered slightly, still not sure what a good score is on a Slow pitch...

The players are off the field for lunch.

Losing wickets at regular intervals, wouldn't be too unhappy to get bowled out with 30 overs left in the day...

Another wicket down but with conditions as they are 300 should put me in a very strong position. Would be nice to bat out the day so he gets no time in the sun at all.

The players are off the field for tea.

Opps bowled out for 193. Uneven pitch so hopefully the extra bat will help. I should at least avoid the follow on ha ha. Could struggle to match their figure though but had this game down as a win so a nervy few overs to come tonight.
 
4 Batting points!!! Unheard of.

Last Wicket: Alvardo lbw b. Malcolm 22 (FOW: 320/6)
 
Great blocking from Crossley. Now, do I go for the 5th batting point or do I declare and deny him a bowling point? PCH tomorrow so probably the latter, may as well get at them. Very happy with the day though.

Managed to run through Mrs BB's middle and lower order quickly this morning, and we now look to be building a substantial lead.

Declared overnight and a great start to the day but they've consolidated now and unless we can get a breakthrough quickly it looks like a draw as they bet well down to 8.
