We kick off the second half of the season against the second best side in the division. We took a chance and rested Plums, Fetts, Richie and Lamo and it paid dividends as they've thrown it completely. May lose out on gate receipts but the extra fitness will be worth it.

Welcome to Garon Park for the match between ShrimperZone CC and quatt cc.

We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 10 (9 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 52-0, runrate=5.20
Silcott 5-0-34-0
Martin* 25 (34 balls)
Sinethemba 24 (26 balls)
 
End of Over 11 (1 runs). The Illegals: 13-4, runrate=1.18
Johnson 6-2-11-2
Thabiso* 1 (12 balls)
Gatsha 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Pitcher c. Stanton b. Johnson 2 (FOW: 13/4)

Going to have to bat alot of over's here to make it to day 3! Record amount of money made for an FC game ... £111.000 in total!

09/12/2008 Played a match and received £122,782 in gate receipts.

I dropped Lamo and put Martin in at about 10:09, so glad I did!

Stuart 8-0-37-0
Sinethemba* 40 (40 balls)

4th (me) away to the bottom side. I'm at full strength, hoping to get this done by 1st thing tomorrow morning. Going well so far.

Mrs BB continuing her rampage through Level V. Could be in trouble gate-receipt wise if she's set a declaration.

33.4 W Trench to Hansie
Bowled him! Trench came up with a real beauty there, although there isn't anything pretty about the celebrations as he's received a slap to the face thanks to a stray high-five from Mabuso.

My players need practice at high-fives it seems.
 
going worse than expected, not been bowled out all season, and certainly not had 4 wickets down this early in an innings, could be on the cards :(

End of Over 35 (6 runs). N-Trance shire: 224-4, runrate=6.40
Derick 2-0-7-0
Fray* 1 (4 balls)
Sneath 12 (12 balls)

Last Wicket: Gerber c. Julian b. Stone 1 (FOW: 218/4)
 
Their one decent bowler has run through my batsmen. Not overly concerned, we don't need bonus points and their batsmen aren't going to stand up too well to Mario and Kev on a dusty.

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 184-4, runrate=5.26
Symon 9-3-16-3
Marriott* 11 (15 balls)
Odonague 1 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Martin st. Prinsloo b. Symon 68 (FOW: 178/4)
 
Getting a tad frustrated now. we've had 13.2 overs at their last pair and can't shift the ****ers :(

Blades United v BATTY SHRIMPERS

No such problems for Mrs BB

Kirby 8-0-36-0
Stride* 101 (62 balls)
Potter 75 (81 balls)

Last Wicket: Hutton b. Petrus 19 (FOW: 40/1)
 
We made full points, mainly because their decent bowler was on priority 5 so put in less overs than the other four jokers.

The players are off the field for the change of innings.


End of Over 66 (3 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 363-5, runrate=5.50
Wight 15-0-55-1
Odonague* 62 (96 balls)
Mcleod 63 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Marriott lbw b. Silcott 52 (FOW: 262/5)

Interesting that the 4 best scores of the innings were from the 4 worst batsmen that took to the pitch, first teamers Sandy, Mario and Durks managing only 66 between them.
 
going for a 2 day win.

End of Over 3 (13 runs). Pettefershire CCC: 15-0, runrate=5.00
