Watson* 17 (29 balls)
Nokwe 10 (28 balls)

Well, in the end, Didcot cc managed to get,

Didcot CCC : (25.1 overs, 10 wickets) 81

Really the last wicket put some ressistance after loosing 9 wickets in first 16. So Hunting Tigers Won by 239 runs :happy

MOTM : Alshaun for his magnificent quick fire

@ Viral, tough luck... Good win Voldy by 7 wickets.

I'm playing WelshRugby today. I bowled first on a flat pitch, I would have batted but didn't get chance to change my settings. Sherwood has just bowled an unbelievable 48th over, taking 5 wickets, including 4 in 4 balls.

47.6 	W	Sherwood to Crookes
 	 	What a rip snorter of a delivery!! The ball swung in and nipped away smashing into off stump. The bewildered Crookes heads back to the pavilion.
47.6 	wd	Sherwood to Crookes
 	 	That ball creeps down leg side - A half hearted appeal for an edge by Fisher isn't enough to stop the umpire signalling wides.
47.5 	.	Sherwood to Crookes
 	 	Crookes shoulders arms to a ball on a good length. The ball swings back late and bounces over the stumps through to Fisher.
47.4 	W	Sherwood to Anthony
 	 	You won't see an easier catch than that, Jeffers didn't have to move in the end.
47.3 	W	Sherwood to Vernon
 	 	What an absoulute snorter, Sherwood really has bowled a beauty.
47.2 	W	Sherwood to Appleyard
 	 	That's gone high into the stratosphere but it's come down straight into the keeper's gloves!
47.1 	W	Sherwood to Herd
 	 	Collins is under it, he won't drop this one... Oooops, he juggles it, but he hangs on in the end! Collins lucked out there.

So they collapsed from 250-4 to 251-9! WelshRugby has finished on 263-9 and I'm very happy about chasing that on a flat pitch. Sherwood finished with 7-52 from his 10, after 7-18 on Friday. Really pleased with that bowling performance!

TT Lions 201-10
Norfolk N Chance 202-3

I beat Zorax!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO! Great result for my team. Hopefully, I can get some form in the PC Battrick League Div 2.

 

[The Spin]

He was playing weakened Connor, but hopefully it will help you in your Div 2 campaign

 

[voldemort]

BFN beat monkeys and Tigers beat Angels

[zainawan89]

[GrayNicolls]

He was playing weakened Connor, but hopefully it will help you in your Div 2 campaign

You call Folkes, Rudi, Crouch and Tuckett weakened?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

BT Fluke, without Eli, low team fitness, morlae and an experimental pitch. Besides, I never win one-off friendlies...

 

[Gilly Fan]

Team: Gillys Demolition Team

Got off to a flyer then fell away big time.

0.6 6 Brittain to Ray
Did it carry all the way?? The third umpire says “Six Runs”.
0.5 4 Brittain to Ray
Stunning drive off the back foot and the ball races away to the boundary.

1.3 W Toynbee to Steele
Steele looks up sheepishly at the umpire before solemnly marching back to the pavilion; I think he knew he was gone as soon as the ball hit the pad.

5.3 W Toynbee to Ray
Ray tried to slog a straight one and failed to connect, out!

5.3 W Toynbee to Ray
Ray tried to slog a straight one and failed to connect, out!

This is more like Chav

14.3 3 Mcgregor to Chavhanga
Mcgregor over-pitches and Chavhanga strokes it into the covers for three. A controlled shot. He didn't try to hit it too hard, just timed it into the gap.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Germon moved down the order and going awesome.

25.3 2 Toynbee to Germon
Two runs to Germon. Hit straight past Toynbee and fielded well by Nyikadzino to stop the boundary
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 29: 171-3, runrate=5.90
Nyikadzino 5-0-20-0
Germon* 56 (64 balls)
Chavhanga 84 (80 balls)
Last Wicket: Quintus b. Brittain 4 (FOW: 48/3)

Hmmm Chavhanga choked again, only needed 6 more runs for his 100

34.4 W Mcgregor to Chavhanga
Chavhanga edges Mcgregor straight into Charlton's cuddly midriff at first slip.

And now my usual openers are batting together.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Syl, do you know my score? Thanks.

 

[aussie1st]

Here you go

End of Over 43: 210-3, runrate=4.88
Lisbie 7-0-30-1
Grant* 9 (5 balls)
Mayo 32 (48 balls)
Last Wicket: Bolla c. Bridges b. Caskey 94 (FOW: 198/3)

Hmmm Germon didn't last long enough and my tail has been exposed for the first time this season.

41.2 W Nyikadzino to Masibulele
The batsman was unlucky there! There was certainly a noise but replays suggested there was daylight between bat and ball; the sound was bat hitting pad.

43.2 W Nyikadzino to Germon
Ball on Germon's body, glanced through to Downey, who takes a diving catch down leg side. Was that glove or thigh? The umpire's taking his time... and that's out, he says. Great snatch!

43.6 W Nyikadzino to Ryan
One-two-three-four-five, once Charlton caught a fish alive!

End of Over 45: 253-7, runrate=5.62
Brittain 8-0-46-1
Sam* 6 (8 balls)
Clayden 0 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Ryan c. Charlton b. Nyikadzino 1 (FOW: 252/7)

Going to be another dam interesting test for my bowlers.
