FC - Season 25

Bot bashing for the seniors

End of Over 19 (9 runs). Napster's XI: 133-1, runrate=7.00

Seconds playing a decent side. Not expecting anything.
 
Liking this, double figures from every player and partnership so far without any major PFL burn. Two bats to come, hopefully we can get over 300 as every bonus point will be vital in our race for promotion against Eppleton.

Disappointing that we didn't roll them for less, though will take that from 270-5. Now to decide how aggressively to declare.

Declaration set for around a 245 run lead. Risky but we're going for promotion so need to push for the win. Though losing would be a disaster with home games on Friday and Sunday.

Superb 5 wicket win for me and this was my main promotion rival. Decision to go with 4 seamers proved the difference. Still expecting to finish second in this division. Also now just outside top 100 though today's OD against Freshbrook Fire won't help that cause.

After the frustration of failing to win last time out we now take on our bogey team Eppleton against whom our record in 3 seasons reads 1/1/4 where the win was due to him messing up the line up and the draw was due to me batting out the last few overs with one wicket left. We've strengthened now though and won a good toss in the sun. Should be able to put ourselves in a decent position to not lose at the very least.
