OD: week 14

[loz]

Petts vs Colne Dynamos

1st (us) against 3rd (them). a win will guarantee the title, a narrow defeat could be enough dependent on results elsewhere. they've opted to bat, our quicks are keeping it tight in the early stages.

End of Over 4: 10-0, runrate=2.50
Devine 2-0-4-0
Sutton* 6 (13 balls)
Robertson 4 (11 balls)

 

[* ORM *]

Need to win away to a very strong 6th place team and have 6th beat 4th for me to overtake them and avoid a playoff. One half of the equation is looking good early on and it is not me !

two great bowling spells give us the advantage so far...

End of Over 20: 70-2, runrate=3.50
Cliffe 5-1-10-0
Sutton* 33 (66 balls)
Naushad 4 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: De bruyn lbw b. Yeates 9 (FOW: 65/2)

great economy from Cliffe, coupled with Yeates' 5-0-15-2

Angand need to beat me to avoid a play off. We're not batting very fast on a sunny day but we've avoided too much damage from their 400k bowler. We lost the toss again, 7 in a row I think.

End of Over 20: 87-2, runrate=4.35
Hunt-seviour 5-1-25-0
Guneratne* 45 (34 balls)
Cunningham 8 (38 balls)
Last Wicket: Lamey b. Priyantha 25 (FOW: 50/2)

I'll be chasing around 270 - almost impossible on Dusty so it looks like 5th and a play off for me - a shame as 4th are also chasing a decent total

 

[MrB]

A rare destructive start from my bowling attack! Plenty of batting to come though.

End of Over 6: 31-3, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=4.95 (248-3)
Fleming 3-0-14-1
Olivier* 18 (15 balls)
Labont 9 (12 balls)
Last Wicket: Benitez b. Fleming 0 (FOW: 5/3)

we're crawling along at the moment, will be very dissapointed if we don't beat their total. hoepfully the 7 remaining overs of their fairly crap spinner will help..

End of Over 36: 160-2, runrate=4.44, reqrunrate=5.21 (232-2)
Kannabhiran 5-0-11-0
Hamilton* 44 (69 balls)
Sookram 5 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Horsfield c. Naushad b. Cotterill 66 (FOW: 146/2)

 

[loz]

won with 4 overs to spare, and with Haggs XI unexpectedly losing to the bottom team, we're champions by 8 points! :smile:

now for the playoff next week in the hope of an unlikely promotion to III...

 

[MrB]

Won by 50 odd runs to finish the season on a high. Brianstoke have a play off against UGTF, going to have a £1.2m+ wage bill in the division whatever happens!

 

[* ORM *]

Lost heavily which is annoying as 4th place lost. I now have a VERY tough playoff to survive in IV
