BATTY SHRIMPERS v Los Galactico

Lortmill v Southend United

We can tell you that Lortmill 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 day.

Getting battered, they're into the tail.

End of Over 27: 113-6, runrate=4.19
Corry 4-1-20-1
Baxter* 13 (18 balls)

Lamacq* 105 (82 balls)

Crossley 3-0-15-1

[* ORM *]

Not quite gone to plan here - I batted the full 50 with old faithful Mckie hitting 73 no accompanied by batting trainee (though double wonderful) out for 75 in a big 5th wicket stand. On track to lose before all rounder comes on for last 3 overs.

 

[Napster]

3 wins out of 3, leaving me top of IV.

:thumbsup:

 

[MrB]

Another £1m+ wagebill taken down hopefully, we're on a good run at the minute.

End of Over 42: 215-1, runrate=5.12, reqrunrate=4.00 (246-1)
Wallwork 9-0-42-0
Guneratne* 6 (7 balls)
Sinethemba 98 (125 balls)
Last Wicket: Cunningham c. Ratra b. Challinor 107 (FOW: 209/1)

 

[Napster]

4 wins out of 4, making me the only team with 100%. Top of level IV.

 

[MrB]

Franchise lost by 4 runs after I rested some players thinking I was going to get tonked and he want and rested some too!

Worth noting that we sold out our 12k stadium already. May stick another expansion in.

 

[Napster]

Playing a team not played before. Doing OK so far. The rest yesterday helped

JLT Exeter
End of Over 19: 77-4, runrate=4.05
Fisher 5-0-36-0
Virk* 27 (38 balls)
Yates 8 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Merry c. Mcandrew b. Allan 10 (FOW: 68/4

Theyre ranked 525 in England, 141 above me. Crazy.

 

[Napster]

Fisher erm redeems himself

The players are off the field for the break between innings.

End of Over 38: 136-10, runrate=3.58
Fisher 8-0-55-1
Aujla* 22 (31 balls)

37.4 W Fisher to Mohau
That's a bad ball by Fisher, short and wide but Mohau has edged the cut into his own stumps.

 

[blues_r_best]

And that's the end of the match. Southend United won by 10 wickets.
Surrey Sweepers 51-10
Southend United 52-0

End of Over 8: 52-0, runrate=6.50
Siyabulela 3-0-18-0
Marney* 30 (25 balls)
Ray 22 (19 balls)

 

[MrB]

Reasonably straightforward win for me, though needed an 88 run blast in the final 10 to give us something to defend. 4 wins and 2nd but can't see us catching the Knights. Had a nice win over Bob's Buffoons yesterday in the SZFL :thumbsup:

 

[Napster]

Should be an easy win to keep my 100% record


End of Over 8: 48-0, runrate=6.00
Harper 4-0-27-0
Jefferson* 30 (31 balls)
Perry 17 (17 balls)

 

[Napster]

Perfect strike rate!

End of Over 11: 67-0, runrate=6.09
Koos 6-0-34-0
Jefferson* 44 (44 balls)
Perry 22 (22 balls)

 

[MrB]

Playing Nadouessioux Akíchita, yet another £1m+ wagebill team. They have £300k of batsmen at the crease, we can't get them out but we're not getting tonked so we'll have something half decent to chase. Bowling conditions though so I can see their uber bowler rolling through us.

End of Over 27: 115-1, runrate=4.26
Graham 7-2-23-0
Gallage* 57 (87 balls)
Aslam 43 (68 balls)

Last Wicket: Nicholls b. Gulzar 9 (FOW: 10/1)

Chirk CC v Southend United

We can tell you that Southend United won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 28: 113-1, runrate=4.04
Round 9-0-48-0
Ray* 42 (80 balls)
Wright 54 (62 balls)
Last Wicket: Marney lbw b. Zammit 14 (FOW: 24/1)

 

[MrB]

Frustrating day, having failed to remove either of their monsters they clocked up 106 runs in the last ten to take the game out of reach. First defeat in a while.

 

[Napster]

Got 292 and won by 42 runs
