OD - Match 5

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Bogeymen

I'm 6th, he's 2nd. Agreed a mutual TIE with him as he's still in the Cup. Full-strenth side, although new singing Frazer is only at Moderate, but he's probably still a better bet than a Double Superb. Otherwise we're not too shabby PFL wise

Tough day for batting, and we've been shoved in...

We can tell you that Bogeymen won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 6: 26-1, runrate=4.33
Ramdin 3-0-10-0
Evelyn* 21 (24 balls)
Downing 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Schoeman c. Hitchcock b. Lufu 5 (FOW: 21/1)

------------------------------------------------------------------

DIBS DIPPERS v Charscot Wanderers

3rd placed Mrs BB takes on the 6th placed side. Again full-strength, couple at Invigorated, so they're hidden down the order a bit. She's on a GFI.

We can tell you that Charscot Wanderers won the toss and elected to field. 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 6: 48-0, runrate=8.00
Breen 3-0-34-0
Hutton* 31 (26 balls)
Potter 16 (11 balls)

 

[Grayson]

How have your opposition been in mutual TIE'ing? Anybody failed to adhere to it yet?

Welcome to The Garrison for the match between Southend and Eboracum Legionnaires.

We can tell you that Southend won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 9: 36-2, runrate=4.00
Sipho 5-0-19-2
Nosworth* 19 (20 balls)
Fitzhenry 13 (23 balls)
Last Wicket: Lunt c. Last b. Sipho 3 (FOW: 5/2)

Game thrown, will be over pretty quickly once one of these two go.

End of Over 10: 46-1, runrate=4.60

[MrB]

Interesting, having negotiated their 3 100k+ bowlers, we're now facing a couple of numpties. Clearly they are resting too. We still won't win, we have no first team bowlers playing. But at least the NRR hit won't be too bad.

End of Over 22: 130-1, runrate=5.91
Brittas 6-0-31-0
Lamey* 58 (52 balls)
Mcleod 58 (67 balls)

Ohalloran* 0 (0 balls)

24.2 W Cahill to Clunnie
A simple catch for Lake at first slip.

could really do with Butler getting out.

At midnight last night the weather was sunny, then i found out is PC&H! Still not that my batsmen are taking any notice of that.

Edit: spoke to soon

32.4 W Stone to Last
What an ugly end for Last, he's wafted at one outside the off stump and paid the penalty.

 

[MrB]

World's worst attempt to throw a game!!

not sure if that RR is going to be good enough, oppo has a very good top order and we'll need wickets.
