In even better news ... i have signed this guy so please welcome him to General Stars!

Qazi Ikramullah (1723186) Qazi is a destructive RH Batsman, and a destructive RF Bowler. He has feeble leadership skills and exceptional experience.

He currently has strong batting form, mediocre bowling form and sublime fitness.

[MrB]

No more wickets but a sloth like 30 in the last ten from them, if I was their manager I'd be a bit naffed off with Wallace's 'effort'.

Should hopefully chase this.

[* ORM *]

Should chase down 163 methinks. Likely to stay 4th

 

[Grayson]

A pathetic 45 runs in the final 10 from my lot. Gonna take a good bowling effort to win this.

Nice buy Kev, he should do some serious damage

 

[blues_r_best]

Marney makes a debut 59* as we chase their 97 with ease.

 

[MrB]

48-3! Disastrous.....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Annoyingly we've seen off the NZ players 1st 5 overs, and lost wickets at the other end. Well up with the rate though...

Fingers crossed, although we are doing well without him today!


End of Over 19: 85-5, runrate=4.47, reqrunrate=5.48 (254-2)
Johnson 3-0-12-0
Nolan* 17 (22 balls)
Martins 44 (41 balls)

Last Wicket: Hendrik b. Richardson 1 (FOW: 58/5)

Had them 6-3 but these lot are a strong side (lots of middling players) and bat down to 7/8 but would be nice to get it finished with by bowling them out!

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Only just started playing this, as in about a week ago! Currently in not too bad a position...

End of Over 19: 101-0, runrate=5.32, reqrunrate=6.13 (290-4)

Good to se another Sz'er joining in. If you need any advice, just shout, there's plenty of us to help you out.

1 over left for Convery, can we see it out....

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

Mrs BB starting to fall behind the rate, but will Shah's spell at the end of Muse's innings be the deciding factor in the match....

[Grayson]

Rennie and especially Parry leaking runs. The difference in difficulty of this week's FC matches looks like being the decisive factor here.

Rennie 8-0-42-0

[The General]

Bowled oppo out for 130, with everyone getting at least a wicket! That was on very defensive, too!

Cheers, will probably need it.

Still in a good place in this game, though I've a feeling it'll be tighter than it should be

Skalding 8-0-55-0
Oupanyana* 17 (15 balls)
Nomvete 16 (13 balls)

 

[Grayson]

Scraped a win, somehow. This match engine is so **** - 45 and 58 runs scored in the last 10 respectively.

And that's the end of the match. Southend won by 3 runs.
Southend 244-6
DIBS DIPPERS 241-4

End of Over 50: 241-4, runrate=4.82
Parry 10-0-66-1
Gowland* 2 (3 balls)

[Crabby Shrimper]

22 runs in the last 5 overs, and I lost by 9. Doh!
