OD - Match 13

[* ORM *]

Crucial week for me in 5th at home to 6th. Win and I avoid relegation. Lose and I'm relying on 4th to beat 7th who I play next week. Frampton is lively but must play.

EDIT and Blinkers has carried on where he left off yesterday

5.4 W Blinkhorn to Asher
Incredible stuff. Blinkhorn bowls one that starts a mile outside leg, Asher gives it the big leave only for the ball to swing like Frank Sinatra and bowl him round his legs. Blinkhorn celebrates and well he might.
5.3 . Blinkhorn to Asher
Defends to the off.
5.2 W Blinkhorn to Surman
Twinkle toes dances down the pitch to a ball lobbed up outside leg stump, he misses it by some way and doesn't even try to get back as Healy flicks off a bail.

 

[MrB]

Playing Legendary Knights in a largely irrelevant match. He's just bought an elite bat so we need a big total (having lost the toss as usual) and it's a very good start.

End of Over 6: 51-1, runrate=8.50
Ahmed 3-0-25-1
Guneratne* 19 (14 balls)
Sinethemba 32 (21 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamey b. Ahmed 0 (FOW: 16/1)

Hmmm, this was sitting here unposted. We've now slowed down massively after reaching 73 in 9 overs!

End of Over 24: 121-2, runrate=5.04
Kilkenny 4-0-11-0
Cunningham* 31 (49 balls)

[The General]

Getting mullered.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Need a win to ensure a top 4 finish, and it's not going well....

[* ORM *]

Opps End of Over 39: 186-6, runrate=4.77

Needed to keep this below 230 which is usually my benchmark on Dusty - this could be an ugly day for me

 

[MrB]

Awful Trottesque innings from Cunningham today, can't see us defending this on a Hard & Fast pitch with their batting strength.

Kilkenny 10-0-34-0
Cunningham* 58 (106 balls)

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Somehow managed to get up to 225, with an undefeated ton from Nagga. Havne't taken any wickets yet, but we're starting to squeeze...

Seem to be cantering to a win. If 7th can beat 4th that could see me avoid a playoff

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I scored a blistering 184-7 off my 50 overs!

That's more than the 179-8 I made!

In reply Dodd's just gone for more in his last over than in his previous 6 combined. 132-2 needing around 4 an over.

:thumbsup: tbh I was quite pleased I batted out the overs! They won by 8 wickets with 7 overs to spare.

Avoided relegation, 4th looks unlikely so a play off it seems to be for me then.

 

[MrB]

10 wicket defeat, though their openers earn 50% of my whole squads wage bill!

Confidence held at joyous so will hopefully still get some decent receipts next week.
