Seconds though - got to 206 all out. But then demolished the oppo to 106 all out, meaning we need 163 to win - and currently 4-0

Looks like you might just fall short Naps.

We tried to time a declaration but were too slow in batting this morning. I doubt a few extra overs would have made much difference though and we can drift along to a creditable draw. Park Avenue have sold up today so that's an easy win next week and only one relegation spot to play for (though I suspect they would have gone down anyway as they had the lowest wagebill).

Playing Park Avenue who sold up. Stretching out for 3 days receipts. Wish my openers would get out though, their PFL is going through the floor after 530 unbeaten runs! Akichita have sold up now as well so we should be safe this season and may even manage a run at the title.

3 day win successfully negotiated with £920k banked. Batsmen are looking a bit shattered though!

Franchise battered again. Have sold my old bowler as no real point keeping him with big defeats in FC and easy wins in OD.
 
Huuuge game for me, if we win we have a genuine shot at the FC title. Lose and we can probably sell a couple of oldies and relax for the season.

Won a big toss with PCH today and then two days of sun and alo had a nice bonus on the gate receipt front:

25/06/2013 Played a First Class match (9925040) and received £1,009,014 in gate receipts.
