OD - Match 4

[MrB]

Could be good, could be bad. Sandy is attacking but my weakest front line bat. Can't afford to lose him quickly but can't afford the run rate to creep any further.

End of Over 33: 133-4, runrate=4.03, reqrunrate=5.59 (227-6)
Kingsberry 7-2-24-0

Wanless 26 (45 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamey Run Out 36 (FOW: 119/4)

 

[MrB]

Does that matter for run-outs?

Lol, good point. Must pay more attention! Though I can add that his first 6 overs went for 10 runs so I could have been talking about that.

 

[MrB]

FFS, as expected, some quick runs and he's out. Really up against it now.

End of Over 34: 137-5, runrate=4.03, reqrunrate=5.69 (227-6)

Last Wicket: Lunt b. Mcintosh 62 (FOW: 134/3)

 

[MrB]

Not that effing knowledgeable when you need over 7 an over!! First over of the last ten is a maiden, rubbish! 2 from 13 balls, cheers Benji.

End of Over 41: 160-6, runrate=3.90, reqrunrate=7.56 (227-6)

Williams 6-0-16-0
Low* 1 (4 balls)
Gardner 3 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Lulu c. Williams b. Fontaine 0 (FOW: 154/5)

At 151-1 going in to the 38th over it was looking set for a tight finish but 4 quick wickets swing it in our favour as we've just broke in to the bowlers.

 

[MrB]

Benji has lost us the game with that pathetic knock.

End of Over 42: 165-7, runrate=3.93, reqrunrate=7.87 (227-6)
Otsemobor 6-0-23-1

[blues_r_best]

They've scored a boundary in the last 5 overs which has screwed me over

Walker 8-0-47-2
Wrigley* 114 (132 balls)

Last Wicket: Whittle c. Gichki b. Walker 35 (FOW: 216/3)

Damn

45.1 . Lake to Wrigley
Lake finds some swing and takes the edge of the wafting bat of Wrigley. The simple catch to second slip is put down by Joost.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

End of Over 45: 202-3, runrate=4.49, reqrunrate=7.00 (236-6)
Varney 8-0-41-1

[Yorkshire Blue]

*&$£!

End of Over 47: 225-3, runrate=4.79, reqrunrate=4.00 (236-6)
Varney 9-0-57-1
Riddell* 28 (59 balls)
Nosworth 110 (105 balls)

Last Wicket: Lunt b. Mcintosh 62 (FOW: 134/3)


46.6 1 Varney to Riddell
He drops the ball at his feet and Nosworth responds quickly to Riddell's call.
46.5 1 Varney to Nosworth
Nosworth twiddles his bat and pops Varney away for a dicey single. He then ostentatiously practises his forward defensive at the non-striker's end.
46.4 6 Varney to Nosworth
Varney fires one in short and Nosworth rocks onto the back foot and hooks the ball high over the deep square leg boundary for six.
46.3 4 Varney to Nosworth
A rather wayward ball is exploited by a grateful Nosworth. He strikes it with the centre of the bat and the ball races down to the boundary for four runs. Riddell gives Nosworth the thumbs up.
And that's a century for Nosworth! Well played indeed Sir!
46.2 . Varney to Nosworth
Poor line from Varney and Nosworth unleashes a full-blooded drive that Finnan does well to get both hands on. Great stop from the fielder.
46.1 4 Varney to Nosworth
There's a young lad in the stands in a 'Nosworth' shirt going beserk as his hero smites that one towards deep midwicket. Long on is coming round, but he's not got a prayer. Wonderful shot, four runs.

 

[MrB]

I need an over like that!!

 

[MrB]

I need an over like that!!

Woo hoo! Not there yet though.

End of Over 48: 217-7, runrate=4.52, reqrunrate=5.50 (227-6)
Otsemobor 9-0-47-1
Wanless* 92 (91 balls)
Graham 8 (12 balls)

Last Wicket: Benjamin c. Machungo b. Otsemobor 3 (FOW: 165/7)

47.6 1 Otsemobor to Wanless
He got lucky there, caught the leading edge but they scamper through for a single.
47.5 6 Otsemobor to Wanless
Otsemobor's short with that delivery and it's hoiked straight back over his head and in to the stand for six runs. Magnificent shot by Wanless.
47.4 . Otsemobor to Wanless
Shortish ball outside off stump which is forced firmly straight to mid off.
47.3 4 Otsemobor to Wanless
Short, skidding onto the stumps, Wanless makes room and crashes it square of third man.

 

[Grayson]

That innings from Wanless is the first time I've seen the final 10 overs work properly since the ME change.

 

[MrB]

What a win, what a performance from Wanless! An 8th wicket partnership of 62 to see us home with an over to spare.

See, this is what happens everytime I think about selling an all rounder!!!

And that's the end of the match. ShrimperZone CC won by 3 wickets.
Amersham CC 227-6
ShrimperZone CC 228-7

End of Over 49: 228-7, runrate=4.65
Vusi 10-0-76-1
Wanless* 102 (96 balls)
Graham 9 (13 balls)

48.6 1 Vusi to Wanless
What a nice touch there by Wanless. The ball didn't travel even 10 yards and he gets an easy single. Good way to rotate the strike, when you are not getting the easy boundaries. Gordon becomes a spectator!
48.5 6 Vusi to Wanless
Six! Wanless comes down the pitch and smashes an overpitched ball for six over cover.
And that's a century for Wanless! Well played indeed Sir!

Very well played indeed!!

 

[Grayson]

We got tonked in the last 20 overs but still won comfortably really.

And that's the end of the match. Southend won by 19 runs.
Southend 274-2

End of Over 50: 255-5, runrate=5.10

[* ORM *]

Won by 8 wickets. Debutant only made 30 odd but 4 points is very nice.

One question. I went with 3 seamers and two spinners yet got remarkable/exquisite. Am I supposed to put them in a certain order

 

[The General]

Cruised to victory with over 8 wickets left. Zamora notched up only his 2nd ever ton!

New ground (which i extended by 10,000 in total) sold out!
