[MrB]

Not much happening in my game, my only danger is that they build a decent lead and then we struggle with the bat on the cloudy final day. Depends when they declare. I should have batted for longer really.

[MrB]

Toiling. Only two results possible now so imagine Muse will be heading back to the top of the table. Could do with getting one more out before he declares to get a bowling point.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Pretty much gone to plan today, nobody's got more than 60 odd, and we've made his 2 main bowlers bowl in excess of 35 overs each :clap:

Hopefully we can make some serious inroards before he wipes off the defecit.

[MrB]

Last time we bowled this lot out twice for less than this in total, pretty much identical line ups on both sides and I know I was less fit! Just having a very bad day!

[Grayson]

Zanarkand have no first innings declaration total B. I threw a game against them earlier in the season and he batted a long time, only when he logged on overnight did he declare.

 

[MrB]

110 overs to survive tomorrow then! At least my bowlers get a day off as I certaiinly won't be declaring. And if they bowl us out then they're unlikely to need many overs to win it as they're looking like being 200 runs ahead!

End of Over 119 (8 runs). Zanarkand Abes: 470-2, runrate=3.95
Lead by 109 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 361-3 dec)

[Grayson]

Just cross your fingers he doesnt log on tonight!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Going well, 2 down and still 60 short of making me bat again.

[The General]

Added just 3 more runs (but crucially got the third point) to make it to 281. Have taken an early wicket and another one or two in the next 40 mins could see the game swing my way. Big 40 mins this and could nigh on guarantee my spot in this division for next season.

[The General]

They close at 45-2, already 65 ahead. Will attack them in the morning and see where it gets me.

Kev

 

[MrB]

Very probably my worst three sessions of FC ever! They closed on 545-5, 3 very late wickets getting us a bowling point. He has logged on so will no doubt declare, we now have to bat the day out in the cloud for the draw.

 

[MrB]

They're batting on allowing us to pick up a couple more valuable bowling points and therefore less overs to survive.

End of Over 149 (1 runs). Zanarkand Abes: 553-7, runrate=3.71
Lead by 192 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 361-3 dec)
Overs left today: 104

Cox* 1 (2 balls)
Ricketts 0 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Mccloud c. Sandile b. Marriott 3 (FOW: 552/7)

 

[* ORM *]

Got 81 overs to bowl out my opps - 1 down so far but by the looks of it they are set defensive. A draw would get them out of relegation. A draw would see me drop to second :(

 

[SUFC_Al]

I won yesterday but blew the chance of any last day promotion drama as we failed to pick up any batting points against well, mediocre opposition.
Promotion rivals' game still in progress; they need 3 wickets and about 130 runs to win to make the last game between us a dead rubber.
