FC - Match 5

[The General]

Closed on 243-7, considering i was 212-2, is a tad dissapointing! Sunny weather tomoorrow, so no doubt will be bowling quite early on as quite a long tail this week!

Still looking for that elusive 1 day win. Shouldn't take too long tomorrow. Those first teamers that were not rested this week can take their turn next week.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

As predicted we chased a lorra lorra leather yesterday. I assume he will declare overnight, and then it will just be a question of how long it takes him to bowl me out twice.

End of Over 110 (8 runs). CheesusCC: 654-2, runrate=5.95
Stott 16-0-122-1
Sam* 302 (301 balls)
Crick 218 (215 balls)

Last Wicket: Horstead c. McKoy b. Stott 91 (FOW: 181/2)

Mrs BB should wrap this up some time today.

End of Over 30 (4 runs). DIBS DIPPERS: 186-2, runrate=6.20

Potter 47 (41 balls)

Last Wicket: Hutton c. Faulds b. Daniel 2 (FOW: 113/2)

 

[MrB]

Pretty crappy end to the day, no further wickets and they finish at 355-5, assuming they declare at 360 we look like we'll miss out on a 2nd bowling point.

 

[Grayson]

I finished 215-8, and we won't make 240 for another batting point so will be declaring on 215 to deny them full bowling points.

 

[MrB]

Flying along this morning.

Last Wicket: Yeates c. Sookram b. Waters 26 (FOW: 62/1)

Not going too well today in the sun!

 

[MrB]

No issues forcing the draw here. Only downside of bowling first is it means I'll probably have to bowl most of tomorrow, would rather call it a draw and rest them!!

End of Over 62 (1 run). ShrimperZone CC: 255-3, runrate=4.11

[* ORM *]

annoyingly tIhijjook over a day.

Ditto. Though a bowler did get two six for next to nothing hauls in the process. I remain 13 points clear. Reverse fixture against the bot then 1 v 2 title decider after the 2020s. This I the opp that is supposed to give me FC In return for OD and I play him in OD 2 days before. As he failed in his half of the bargain first time around I'm tempted to make his life hard this time

 

[The General]

Had a bit of a touch! Oppo declared on 305-3 and i closed on 47-0 so a simple win on the horizon, which is going to turn out to be a little fortunate!

 

[MrB]

Nice sharing of the batting today as we hit 388-6 with (excluding Mario who is 1 no) the lowest score being 36 and highest score 68! So no particular fitness hits and I will declare after a couple of overs tomorrow and then send some of the batsmen out to send down some pies for the day to save the bowlers for Sundays cup game.

 

[MrB]

My batsmen are now out bowling. Only Barrowdale of my 5 bowlers will actually bowl today. Should be a draw so I'll be concentrating on Muse's match as if he holds Parkway to a draw, I'll leapfrog GBG out of the relegation zone.

Assume Parkway will declare at 360 so I'm hoping Muse can see the day out. He sneaked a cheeky bowling point this morning too.

End of Over 117 (1 run). Parkway Sports: 358-3, runrate=3.06
Lead by 143 runs. (Southend 215-8)
Overs left today: 103
Rennie 25-3-84-2
Xola* 3 (11 balls)
Evan 140 (368 balls)

Last Wicket: Croft c & b. Rennie 62 (FOW: 355/3)

 

[MrB]

Ok, looks like I'll be out of the relegation zone but at YB and Muse's expense as Parkway jump above all of us!

End of Over 9 (Maiden). Southend: 26-3, runrate=2.89 (1st Inn: 215-8 dec)
Trail by 120 runs. (Parkway Sports 361-3 dec)
