No BOT to bash this week, but it might as well be....

BATTY SHRIMPERS II v The Lego Knights (9415270)

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS II won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and windy day.

The players are off the field for lunch.

Playing the team top of the table.

We can tell you that Deep Backward Square Leg 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.

The appearance of a 17yo bowler has helped our cause and luckily we got 9 overs out of him. Hopefully we can stay in long enough to get another serving.

Closing in on a victory which will take me 31 points clear with 2 games to go. as 1 of them is against a BOT, it's safe to say we've won the division.

Franchise going well as we chase a surprising 5th successive win in a league we thought we might get relegated from. Could end up getting promoted! Unfortuantely due to an order mess up my best bowler is not playing. I would also have declared earlier yesterday had I bothered to look. They have two bowlers that outwage my entire team but somehow their four bowlers are on fair, fatigued, drained and drained fitness! No value in going up so may casually throw next week's game and try to get second for an away game first up next season.

A must win game for the seniors if we're going to get promoted and after winning the toss and batting in the sun we contrived to blow up completely. Looks like another season in II.

Franchise throwing their game to avoid a financially disadvantageous promotion.
 
Looks like we'll secure FC promotion at some time tomorrow....

COLLAPSE ALERT

Franchise bowled out league leaders for 162 and were cruising at 66/1.

Now 76/9.

My main team have also thrown away a dominant position and promotion.
 
Wickets galore here, annoyingly they were 132-8 but their tail wagged. Feeling confident though, a win here will almost certainly secure promotion back to the Championship.
