FC - Match 6

[MrB]

ShrimperZone CC v Fingers XI

Return game from last week, we'll do well to repeat last week's hefty win, particularly after losing two early wickets on a Sunny day. Good toss to win though as bowling conditions forecast for days 2 and 3.

End of Over 14 (3 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 42-2, runrate=3.00
Overs left today: 96
Govender 7-0-27-0
Sinethemba* 22 (34 balls)
Sandile 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamey b. Fulton 10 (FOW: 39/2)

Southend v Dobcross

Welcome to The Garrison for the match between Southend and Dobcross.

We can tell you that Dobcross won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day.

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


End of Over 21 (Maiden). Dobcross: 51-3, runrate=2.43
Overs left today: 89
Shyjal 6-2-15-2
Grier* 4 (5 balls)
Clegg 16 (61 balls)
Last Wicket: Hooper c. Chill b. Blaney 5 (FOW: 47/3)

Good start against the champions elect after a thrashing last week! Blaney dismisses a batsman on £311k per week for just 5 runs. Having two high quality spinners on a dusty wicket gives me more chance than last week.

Having two high quality spinners on a dusty wicket gives me more chance than last week.

I assume that means they are really good rather than about to pop to remarkable? :)

 

[Grayson]

I assume that means they are really good rather than about to pop to remarkable? :)

Haha, yeah - elite and miraculous. Expensive buggers.

 

[MrB]

My search for a new batsman is not going well, two players above masterful on the list at the moment and they both earn over £1m per week!! Mid season transfer malaise.

We've recovered.

End of Over 30 (1 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 103-2, runrate=3.43
Overs left today: 80
Mavuso 2-0-8-0
Sandile* 18 (53 balls)
Sinethemba 65 (80 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamey b. Fulton 10 (FOW: 39/2)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

CheesusCC v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We've had a result, as oppo as thrown the game. Not sure why, as his PFL isn't that bad. Maybe he didn't think he could get as lucky again this week as he did last week. We'd left a couple out anyway, so it's worked out marvellously. Especially as he's got a Flat pitch, and I was looking at 3 days of toil for the bowlers.

We can tell you that CheesusCC won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

End of Over 31 (Maiden). CheesusCC: 43-7, runrate=1.39
Overs left today: 79
Gibbins 2-1-1-0
Sam* 16 (31 balls)
Percy 1 (44 balls)

Last Wicket: Trench lbw b. Frazer 4 (FOW: 33/7)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIBS DIPPERS v Stumpys

Mrs BB's oppo has also thrown their game. The 2 also meet in OD on Friday, but Mrs BB had rested both her all-rounders as well as Potter, so it might work out OK for her.

We can tell you that Stumpys won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day.

End of Over 32 (13 runs). DIBS DIPPERS: 224-1, runrate=7.00
Overs left today: 78
Dixon 7-0-60-0
Morgan* 64 (52 balls)
Hutton 110 (94 balls)

Last Wicket: Stride st. Sarel b. Myers 47 (FOW: 100/1)

 

[Grayson]

My search for a new batsman is not going well, two players above masterful on the list at the moment and they both earn over £1m per week!! Mid season transfer malaise.

I'm also after one. Could get interesting. The lack of them is frustrating but with BT20 next week I'm not too concerned yet.

Thommos Trojans v Southend United

Doing good so far on a dusty pitch on a sunny day, get through these two and I'm out of the pure batters,

End of Over 34 (8 runs). Thommos Trojans: 104-4, runrate=3.06
Overs left today: 76
Gichki 4-1-20-0
Mcdonald* 21 (43 balls)
Whelan 10 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Themba c. Lake b. Walker 23 (FOW: 85/4)

 

[MrB]

Middle order collapse so relying on the AR's to support Sini who's dominated the innings thus far.

Think this is a new record too:
29/06/2010 Played a First Class match (4968904) and received £495,048 in gate receipts.

My long run of wins before Friday brought my fans mood right up, may have to think about a stadium increase.

End of Over 51 (1 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 170-5, runrate=3.33
Overs left today: 59
Phelan 9-1-18-0
Benjamin* 1 (6 balls)

Prescott 10-1-41-1
Raven* 1 (3 balls)
Zamora 44 (98 balls)

Last Wicket: Waterhouse c. Riches b. Prescott 109 (FOW: 203/3)

Very good toss to win with scheduled weather forecast this week set to go downhill. I should have beaten this lot last week so im going to make sure i do my best to do so this week!! Both teams are okay on the fitness front though but i've rested Deane this week.

Guy is listed so here he is if you want him!!
He cost me just over 3 million in April 2007 so he has been around for a fair while but need to freshen my bowling up! Faultless player and would even make a nice captain!

Roy Guy (1075338) Roy is a destructive RH Batsman, and a destructive RH finger spin Bowler. He has proficient leadership skills and miraculous experience.

He currently has superb batting form, strong bowling form and sublime fitness.

[MrB]

Not a bad effort. Last week we made 255 in the first innings with Richie hitting 138 supported by 30 somethings from a batsman and an all rounder and we won the game. This week we hit 262 with Sini hitting 138 supported by 40 from Sandy and 39 from Benji so the omens are good!!!

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

[The General]

I limped to 293 AO and they closed on 17-0. Bring on the bowler friendly weather on my dusty track :)

Think i got £430,000 in gate reciepts ... my most for an absolute age!

And if someone can bump up the price on Guy that would be lovely!

 

[MrB]

Very good day for me, got them down to 83-5. Couple of early wickets tomorrow and we could force an unlikely follow on. Think they'll make it though as they have another batsman to come, I can see me being bowled out again and then have them back in again before the day is out with the conditions.

 

[MrB]

Well that was easier than expected! 14 overs, 5 wickets, just the one run!

End of Over 49 (Maiden). Fingers XI: 84-10, runrate=1.71

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We ended the day with the oppo 3/0 in their 2nd innings, after we rattled up 365/1 in reply to their 1st innings 90ao.

However, this morning has been frustrating to say the least. I've got all my bowlers set to V.Attacking to try and rip through them, and they've not taken a wicket...

CheesusCC v BATTY SHRIMPERS

Last Wicket: Duke b. Rogan 11 (FOW: 50/3)

 

[MrB]

Got them out for 120 in the second innings for a 4th successive FC win, we could be on our way to the Championship at this rate which judging by Muse's season so far could be a brief stay.

 

[The General]

End of Over 86 (Maiden). Four Oaks Saints CC: 204-10, runrate=2.37
Trail by 89 runs. (General Stars 293-10)

Hopefully can build up a lead of 180 odd by tonight and try and not leave myself to little time to get the wickets ...
