FC - Match 3

[MrB]

Bob's Buffoons v ShrimperZone CC

Overwhelming favourite for the division with a massive wage bill and squad to counter PFL issues. Gutted it's not at home to take advantage of my OTM confidence. For me to get anything from the game was going to mean winning the toss with PCH today and then sunny for the next two but it wasn't to be. We're doing ok but a wicket can't be far away with the quality they have.

As I type there it is! Will be happy to nab 3 or 4 points from the game and be done in 2 days.

[* ORM *]

Day one to me. Bowled opps out for 195 and closed on 38-0. Didn't expect that at all. Hopefully post a decent enough lead here. A win would be an unexpected boost and see me 2nd

 

[MrB]

We got a batting point so I'm happy whatever the outcome.

 

[* ORM *]

In front by 15 with 6 wickets left. Looking for a lead of at least 80

 

[MrB]

Going surprisingly well, hoping this won't be another agonising defeat against one of the best teams in the game like our match against Brianstoke. If we can somehow string a couple of partnerships together we may have some joy on a deteriorating pitch on Day 3.

End of Over 14 (3 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 30-1, runrate=2.14 (1st Inn: 206-10)
Lead by 17 runs. (Bob's Buffoons 219-10)

Last Wicket: Lamey b. Sultan 14 (FOW: 21/1)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Should be able to win from here.

[MrB]

Can't see me putting on enough runs to challenge here but it's been a good effort nonetheless.

End of Over 31 (5 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 90-2, runrate=2.90 (1st Inn: 206-10)
Lead by 77 runs. (Bob's Buffoons 219-10)

[Napster]

yeah a win. a thrashing!

 

[* ORM *]

All out for 310 and 95 ahead of opps at close. Would be great to win but even a draw sees me replace them in second

 

[* ORM *]

Got That slightly wrong. Need to win to go 2nd. But with top struggling after resting some I could be anywhere between 1st and 4th tonight.

 

[MrB]

If only we'd won the toss.....
