Harmison* 0 (0 balls)

not a bad score, hopefully the tail can stick around long enough for Barnes to get us to around 320-330.

 

[SUFC_Al]

We're 70-2 after they finished 277 all out.

 

[MrB]

They finished 339-4, not sure when they will declare but we will probably look to bat out a draw and save our bowlers for Friday and Sunday.

Mcgee clearly likes the uneven pitch though, taking all 4 wickets thus far.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Oppo finished the day on 391-4, got away from us a bit towards the end of the day as the bowlers tired. Surprisingly, he didn't declare overnight, and we've nicked out another couple this morning to give us an extra bowling point.

[MrB]

They've declared which is unusual for them. Maybe sense a chance of victory. However it's sunny so I don't expect to have to much trouble batting through the day.

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

[Napster]

changed bowling orders so my two batsmen dont bowl, and immediately, get two quick wickets. suddenly there is hope

Last Wicket: Williams b. Maruthi 25 (FOW: 76/3)

 

[MrB]

All meandering tamely to a draw already. Will bat out the day then decided whether to carry on batting or send them back in and let Tate and Hartburn bowl the majority of the overs to allow my frontline 4 to make minimal output.

End of Over 21 (9 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 84-1, runrate=4.00

Overs left today: 75
Randall 5-1-11-0
Cunningham* 45 (117 balls)
Swayne 105 (102 balls)

Good position at lunch. Obdurate stuff from Cunningham who makes a rare contribution although he's only prof/resp his high experience helping here.

I think declaration is at 450 but anything around 370-380 would give us a decent lead.

[MrB]

Lamo gets himself out before the PFL hits kick in too badly. Fingers crossed Richie will follow him.

37 for the last wicket, crucial innings from Shash with some good support from the tail.

 

[MrB]

Good man Richie, runs himself out to save PFL. Sini is only invigorated so could do with these two seeing out the day now.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We've been made to follow-on, which is hardly a surprise. Luckily Evelyn failed, as did Nagga, so we haven't done too much damage PFL wise. Pollock batted for over 100 balls, so could do with him missing out tomorrow.
