42.5 6 Fieldwick to Bunn
A pre-empted slog, and it has paid off, the ball just cleared the rope.

End of Over 43: 219-5, runrate=5.09
Fieldwick 7-0-54-0
Bunn* 87 (108 balls)
Dennis 3 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch b. Griffin 103 (FOW: 204/5)

270 is very possible. Bunn nearing a possible century.

45.6 W Otto to Bunn
Bunn needs a feather duster, not a bat. He tickled at that one and is comprehensively beaten. Next!!!

Otto's fifth, I think. He's having a hell of a season.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

24 balls left. I think I'll get 260-265. Poor old Bunn though, made 94!
Dennis needs to kick into high gear now...

Andrews out now, Fieldwick gets a wicket to liven up a poor day so far. Bolder new man in, hopefully he can do something.

46.4 W Fieldwick to Andrews
Andrews hammers that one, but Heath foils him and takes a great catch deep on the boundary.

And another one. Fieldwick hasn't had such a great day so far, lets hope he produces with the bat.

46.6 W Fieldwick to Bolder
What a catch, that was a genuine stroke. Fantastic anticipation by Otto at short leg.

Come on lads, lets keep him below 250!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Bolder gone too...

18 balls left. I hope I bat out the fifty, should get 250 odd then. Like I said, all up to Dennis...

47.1 W Otto to Dennis
A slightly quicker ball from Otto draws Dennis into the shot and a simple catch at slip is the result.

Bam, and another! 3 in 4 balls!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Dennis goes!! Crap. There goes 250...

47.6 W Otto to Atkinson
Brilliant fielding by Bowditch. He backpedalled a long way and has caught him.

And its all over. Well, half over

End of Over 48: 242-10, runrate=5.04
Otto 9-2-25-7
Tuckett* 0 (2 balls)

Surely Otto is looking at MOTM, pretty much whatever happens here...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Not unless Crouch takes a few wickets.

243 to defend. Crouch opening the bowling, took 3/15 in my last game on the same wicket against a very strong top order. Hopefully he isn't too knackered from this innings. Tuckett and Andrews are two pretty good spinners, definately better than Bowdith and Hemmings. Atkinson didn't do so great last game on this pitch, 0/45. Rudi took 1/7 off 7 overs though, so I should be in here with a pretty good shot.

 

[FreddieFan]

I'd agree to both your spinners being better than Bowditch, but neither better than Hemmings. Still, neither of mine performed that well today.

2.5 wd Crouch to Mason
That's a yard outside the leg stump.

Tut tut. Legends ought to know better

End of Over 3: 12-0, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=4.91 (242-10)
Crouch 2-0-6-0
Heath* 4 (7 balls)
Mason 7 (12 balls)

A solid, if unspectacular, start for me.

Check out Tuckett. And he has 0 batting skill, 0 fielding, 0 keeping and 0 concentration, Yet he has that wage. Don't go by stats, he plays on a green wicket nearly 90% of the time. Just look at that economy.

Tut tut. Legends ought to know better

He's just tired, leave him alone. Poor chap, tired after smashing your 'bowling' attack all over...
Mason is the one to get. if I pick him up in these first 10 overs, it will be huge...

 

[FreddieFan]

5.1 6 Atkinson to Mason
He advances down the wicket and lofts it sweetly back over Atkinson's head for six. Great shot!

Get in there lad!

End of Over 6: 30-0, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=4.84 (242-10)
Atkinson 3-0-21-0
Heath* 8 (15 balls)
Mason 20 (23 balls)

Keep Crouch out, and whack Atkinson about. Good start for me.

 

[Briggsey]

I predict a victory for the Wulfs by 4 wickets, Otto bowled well enough to put you in a strong position and Mason looks good at the crease, unlucky Zorax, but im sure you'll come good......eventually

Risky move, siding with the underdogs. Mason is the key to the result now.

Well I under estimated your team, you have done well to improve it a lot since the days of those hammerings you've got a good little squad, more than capable of causing some of us some problems including the best teams on here.
