Jackson 6-0-43-0
Hiller* 78 (65 balls)

End of Over 97 (6 runs). Peruvian Farmers: 375-2, runrate=3.87
Alder 23-4-60-1
Drury* 91 (130 balls)
Anderson 161 (252 balls)

Seem to be an awful lot of mismatches going on at the moment, very few tight games around. I'm on an uneven pitch, so if my opponent has set a very high declaration target and I bat well, I might just scrape a draw, but it's unlikely.

End of Over 15 (Maiden). Coppull CC: 5-4, runrate=0.33 (1st Inn: 5-10)

After seeing the scores here, i think only the teams in India had some unlucky instances... My team gifted two wickets for no reason.. that too Malik, first ball duck :

Some great scores there all over England. :cool:

25.4 6 Piper to Fabian
Fabian's hit that one so hard he's broken his bat! Wooden shards everywhere!
And that's a century for Fabian! Well played indeed Sir!

:happy

End of Over 26 (8 runs). Sneaky Penguins: 194-0, runrate=7.46
Piper 4-0-35-0
Fabian* 102 (74 balls)
Hiller 88 (82 balls)

Match probably over in a day...

31.6 . Piper to Fabian
Fabian takes a huge swipe at that delivery, misses by a mile and pirouettes gracefully down to the ground. You can wear pads, gloves and boxes, but there's no equipment to protect your pride!
31.5 4 Piper to Fabian
Fabian clatters it straight back down the wicket. Piper puts his foot out, but can't take any of the pace off the ball. Four runs.
31.4 . Piper to Fabian
Slower delivery, stroked straight to cover.
31.3 . Piper to Fabian
Nipped back, bat and pad together, cover runs in to field.
31.2 . Piper to Fabian
Fabian is lucky to survive that one as there's a big LBW shout, with the only question being whether it pitched outside the line. Real borderline call.
31.1 . Piper to Fabian
Played off the toes straight to the mid on fielder.

nice over there... A great performance compared to the rest of the crap I saw so far...

Finished the day with a wicket in the last over Sadlier got 2-33 and Cameron got a wicket in his 1 over (the last over of the day). Wingham didn't get a chance to get going with the ball but McKenna kept it tight for an over. Making 460-5 dec then taking 3 wickets before the end of the day for 60 runs will do as a nice start to FC for me!

 

[Jaztheman]

Lekgwathi got first ever wicket for Greenabnk as I bowled them out for 163 as Sotho got 19-5-35-4 and Rudd(Youth Pull) got 9-1-20-2 So very happy with Lekgwathi getting two wickets and Austin one. Then a terrible start as we lose first wicket on 33-1 as Moxey goes for 16(23) but then an unbeaten so far partnership by Watson and Wylie of 273 as Wylie has 155*(135) with 3 sixes! and Watson has 121(154)

Fantastic all round in the first ever FC match for me. I'm going at 6 an over... 306-1 after 51 overs.

Good batting effort today, what more can I say?

 

[w3lshrugby]

(My dads team)

42.6 4 Dowdall to Liddle
Overpitched and that's a lovely on drive from Liddle, standing tall and delivering. The ball races away.
42.5 6 Dowdall to Liddle
He hit that one so hard the crowd thought they'd get a piece each. Six runs.

End of Over 43 (13 runs). FootballRejects: 295-0, runrate=6.86
Lead by 267 runs. (Ocho Rios CC 28-10)
Dowdall 10-0-86-0
Mohan* 147 (142 balls)
Liddle 139 (120 balls)

I'm having much fun with this Bot Bashing

End of Over 31 (3 runs). The Blind Society: 237-0, runrate=7.65
Lead by 216 runs. (Wolues CC 21-10)
Evans 10-0-54-0
Gooding* 154 (105 balls)
Haishen 79 (84 balls)

Bowling figures as follows:

11-10-1-3 for my skipper Lewis Carey (RF)
17-14-4-3 for seamer Camebridge (LFM)
on a Green. Both in one spell. Carey was supposed to bowl 6 max, Camebridge 8. Looks like Carey's Mediocre Experience with Strong captaincy paid off...

Oh, and quite a coincidence. Do you think they thought it was an OD game and just walked off after 50 overs?
