Week 12

[The General]

Big big big game for me today. I sit 5th and play the team who are 4th. My hardest game of the season as my last 2 games seeing me play 6th and 7th. Win today and i shouldn't have to bare the relegation decider and could end up finishing in 3rd!

 

[Grayson]

I'm GFI today against 4th, if I lose this I'm down as I wont win next week and have inferior NRR to 6th by some way. However, win today and a victory on the last day will give us a play-off. Either way we'll be IV next season.

Going down automatically could be a good thing anyway - more likely to be a weaker league if the team replacing me got into the top half of the promotion table.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I'm playing the leaders, I'm TIE and expecting to lose, although our ratings aren't far apart. Should win my last 2 games which will enable me to finish in the top 4 which is very pleasing.

Mrs BB is top and is playing 2nd, but she should win, and therefore guarantee promotion back to IV.

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Gatley

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS 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 sunny day.

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

Cellar Door v DIBS DIPPERS

We can tell you that Cellar Door 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.

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

Men o Wight v ShrimperZone CC

We can tell you that Men o Wight 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.

 

[The General]

Lost the crucial toss. Am now 23-4 and lost 2 of my wickets thanks to run-outs. Thank good i bat down to 9. Winning the toss and bowling first in this league seems a huge thing and that hasn't gone with me today!

:(

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Not a bad start, although he has an England U19 lurking at 5

[Yorkshire Blue]

Disappointing start for me. In partially cloudy and humid conditions my openers & first change have to do better than one wicket in the opening 20. Fortunately since then my spinner has picked up two and they are now 68-4. Most of their batsman are rabbits, but they have one very good who is still there. They also have one excellent bowler with a battrick rating of 175,000 and wages of £70,000+, so I'd rather not have too many to chase.

 

[The General]

Just let them 2 keep batting mate, you dont want the England U19 one coming in really!!

got them all out for 100

End of Over 33: 100-10, runrate=3.03

Loved the name of your oppo's bat YB (Mqabukonyongolo), can't imagine his surname gets confused with anyone else's :p

I made 181. Jackman 9 not out from 14 balls. He might be upto number 10 after that!

Need some good tight bowling early on from Raven and some Jackman bloke!
