Another crappy toss to lose. Sandy has an awful record with the coin!!

Welcome to Garon Park for the match between ShrimperZone CC and Moss Side CC.

We can tell you that Moss Side CC won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Lets join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

End of Over 3 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 2-0, runrate=0.67
Overs left today: 107
Boyce 2-1-2-0

Sinethemba 1 (10 balls)
 
Good toss to win,

Welcome to monkey spunk mopeds CG for the match between monkey spunk mopeds and Southend United.

We can tell you that Southend United won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there on this sunny day.

Lets join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

End of Over 5 (9 runs). Southend United: 17-0, runrate=3.40
Overs left today: 105

Away to the side that hammered me last week. Lost the toss, but it didn't matter as we would have fielded anyway.

A decent start given the conditions. We only won by 29 runs last week and were bowled out for 126 in the second innings so every run counts here. They're still above us but a win will move us back to second.

End of Over 18 (4 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 46-0, runrate=2.56

Last Wicket: Tunnicliffe c. Birkett b. Bowditch 14 (FOW: 59/5)

Won by an innings and lots last week, looks like we've started today in similar fashion.
 
Sini goes but Lamo comes in and ups the pace, good morning thus far.

Left my declaration at 361, not sure if that was a good idea.

Rautenbach 3-0-11-0

Almost the perfect morning session

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (1 runs). Southend United: 179-1, runrate=5.11
Overs left today: 75
Rautenbach 4-0-12-1
Wright* 94 (117 balls)
Hoult 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Marcel st. Khan b. Rautenbach 82 (FOW: 179/1)
34.6 . Rautenbach to Hoult
Full toss outside off stump, Hoult gets over-excited and misses it.
34.5 W Rautenbach to Marcel
Outstanding work by Khan. Rautenbach fired it in at yorker length, Marcel can't whip it away and as the ball passed through his legs, Khan took it at full stretch. He somehow collected the ball and twisted himself back to find Marcel short of the crease.

Two late wickets spoil our work and we're now going to have to graft for batting points.

This team gave us a good fight last week to to rip through them like this is great news, though i wonder if our batters will fare much better...

End of Over 36 (1 runs). wicket wizards: 65-10, runrate=1.81

Jones 7-3-9-2
Jawad* 16 (33 balls)
 
Another down but a decent little partnership and we're ticking over at a decent pace with Sandy's 50 coming reasonably briskly. Hopefully we can get to about 250, expecting it to slow down massively with Tate and then Cattermole at the crease.

End of Over 54 (4 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 175-4, runrate=3.24
Overs left today: 56
Boyce 16-2-38-1
Tate* 0 (4 balls)
Sandile 50 (78 balls)

Last Wicket: Mcleod c. Clegg b. Boyce 21 (FOW: 170/4)

EDIT:

Ok , Tate won't be slowing anything down!

54.6 W Chanderpaul to Tate
And that's out! Shorter ball, cut in the air and straight to Clegg at point.

Not quite sure if we were unlucky last week when they racked up 417-1, or if we've been lucky today. Same batting line-up against a similar bowling attack.

Same oppos again as last week and have tinkered slightly with my starting line up. Was planning on giving my top player a rest, but noticing it was a dusty pitch decided to stick with him and go with two spinners. Glad I did, as he ended up with a five wicket haul.

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


End of Over 57 (Maiden). Commodores cc: 144-10, runrate=2.53
Overs left today: 53
Sansom 9-2-16-5

Tate and Cattermole didn't hold us up at all, probably a good thing. Hopefully Plums and Mario can add some brisk runs and get us above 240. Don't want them in for too long though.

End of Over 64 (2 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 201-6, runrate=3.14
