[MrB]

Having a surprisingly comfy day. Big toss to win with two days of sun and PCH on Thursday (as it stands). Not burning any all rounder PFL yet which is very handy. No declaration set so will probably just declare overnight if we get that far.

Rampaul was bought for £2.1m

Allahrakha is a cautious RH Batsman, and a cautious RM Bowler. He has feeble leadership skills and miraculous experience.

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

[Napster]

First team keeping them to 320-odd for 6, draw looking likely.

Second team, what a game. Oppo all out for 143, with new signing Rampaul taking 8-23. Then we get 143, but for 6. With Nontshinga still in might put a few more runs on the board, but looking good.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Should be all done by lunch time. Will be looking for a friendly...

[MrB]

Decided to decare overnight, could have carried on but seemed little point burning all rounders PFL and no guarantee they would score quickly. Two early wickets but got plenty of work to do if we're going to make them follow on. Definitely won't lose though. Played 9 bats but didn't need them so now wishing I'd played Wilkshire who is a destructive spinner and takes a lot of wickets.

End of Over 28 (4 runs). Eppleton CC: 80-2, runrate=2.86
Trail by 315 runs. (ShrimperZone CC 395-5)

Last Wicket: Perry c. Eastwood b. Queque 0 (FOW: 41/2)

 

[MrB]

Mucked up orders with the franchise and have three batsmen missing and a batsman bowled. Have now sorted default orders and could yet rescue something as we somehow got a first innings lead. FC is vital to keep morale up as we're getting tonked every week in OD.

End of Over 44 (5 runs). Shallow and Pedantic CC: 180-4, runrate=4.09
Lead by 8 runs. (Nagico 172-10)

Last Wicket: Khwetshube b. Lea 46 (FOW: 157/4)
