FC - Season 25

My all rounders are pointlessly burning up PFL which will be doubled by the extra overs we'll have to bowl. Would rather just concede now!

End of Over 64 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 165-5, runrate=2.58 (1st Inn: 162-10)
Lead by 14 runs. (Woking Phoenix 313-10)

Darlington 13-4-30-2
Graham* 18 (63 balls)
Choles 22 (48 balls)

Last Wicket: Brennan c & b. Darlington 53 (FOW: 127/5)
 
Won by an inns and 8 runs yesterday. If we repeat that next week, we'll promote.

Franchise doing very well.

End of Over 43 (4 runs). BATTIER SHRIMPERS II: 126-2, runrate=2.93 (1st Inn: 165-10)
Trail by 73 runs. (Jamheads 204-10 & 160-10)
Tindall 4-0-21-0
Todd* 29 (41 balls)
Mahato 32 (73 balls)
Last Wicket: Corden b. Faulconbridge 27 (FOW: 64/2)

Don 6-1-22-0
Jefferson* 29 (63 balls)
Perry 24 (34 balls)
Last Wicket: Arrowsmith b. Qaba 24 (FOW: 42/1)
 
This is more like how I expected the first innings to go but should still hopefully record a much needed victory.

End of Over 75 (3 runs). Highton Expats: 192-4, runrate=2.56 (1st Inn: 163-10)
Trail by 6 runs. (Shallow and Pedantic CC 361-4)

Mansfield* 7 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Gholam st. Mulholland b. Don 11 (FOW: 221/6)
 
Bugger. Only drew my game. I may still be top but was bargaining on maintaining enough of a gap between me and Brandonians for the inevitable defeat in return fixture later this season. If he plays full strength I just cannot see how I can squeeze out a draw. Flat pitch ?????
 
Bank Holiday strikes again, forgot to set orders and with Duck sold we ended up with a worthless bat opening the innings while wonderful trainee Sargeant twiddles his thumbs. Having lost last week we didn't really need the extra disadvantage! At least our bowling line up is untouched.

Lost the toss again and it's even worse this time with PCH today and Sun tomorrow. Though my default orders would have meant I would have chosen to bat anyway!

End of Over 8 (4 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 16-1, runrate=2.00
Overs left today: 102
Karel 4-1-6-0
Sinethemba* 12 (27 balls)
Brennan 3 (6 balls)

Last Wicket: Thato c. Mitchley b. Marrium 1 (FOW: 11/1)
 
Win this one, and we're short odds to win the division.

Good toss to win, as Sunny today and PC+H tomorrow.

Better than last week but still not good enough. Will need to burn a lot of overs if we're to have any chance of saving the draw, a decent start.

Franchise all but promoted. FC promotion dream for main on a knifedge. Realistically can't see me winning this game. I need to score 280 for the bps on cracked and already 2 wickets down with under 50 on the board.
 
Going very well so far today. With PC+H forecast today and tomorrow, we could have a handy lead.
