FC - Match 7

[MrB]

Parkway Sports v ShrimperZone CC

Not the game I wanted to be watching whilst stuck at home! On the plus side we're fully fit. The downside is so are they and we have to play them again on Friday. At least we have Hubbards next week who have a cup semi on Sunday.

Hopefully we can at least bowl them out and get 3 points.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Poppadom CC (1st) v BATTY SHRIMPERS (2nd)

Massive game for us this week, as he leads us by 16 points, so nothing but a win will do. Finally managed to pick a 6th bowler the other week, and he makes his FC debut today, as his FM should do better than Wilkey's offers (plus Wilkey's at Lively). Evereybody else plays, as we have a gimmee against Dobcross on Friday.

Good toss to win, as it's like being in the Amazon jungle in Essex this week....

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS 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.

End of Over 7 (1 run). Poppadom CC: 13-0, runrate=1.86
Overs left today: 103
Job 4-0-10-0
Downey* 6 (18 balls)
Daly 7 (24 balls)

DIBS DIPPERS (1st) v Queens Park CC (4th)

Mrs BB leads her division by 4 points, as she looks to make it 4 consecutive FC promotions. Full-strength side out for her, and she's made an early breakthrough

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS 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.

Picked up 2 wickets in 2 balls earlier, but no breakthroughs since. Only good thing is that they are crawling along, which still gives us a chance.

[MrB]

We have had an absolute nightmare

Angband's win over Parkway was bad news for the rest of us, brought them right back into it.

If they beat you it's going to put all 4 of us very tight and with you having played Hubbards twice and still having Parkway to come I reckon you'll need to beat us or Gatley to survive. Preferably Gatley :smile:

We've made a steady start. If we can avoid the follow on we might just have a chance of the draw with sunny conditions tomorrow.

The players are off the field for lunch.

Oppo closed yesterday on a very pedestrian 231/4. Lindop rattled through them this morning, finishing with 6-44 from 27 overs, and although we've lost Evelyn, we've made a good start in reply.

[MrB]

All very tight in the CC. Myself and Angband have played our games against Parkway so the Southend v Gatley game could be the decider.

2. Southend 7 2 2 3 0 16 21 77
3. Gatley 7 2 2 3 0 15 21 76
4. ShrimperZone CC 7 2 2 3 0 10 21 71
