End of Over 60 (Maiden). Mind TWindows Tino: 176-2, runrate=2.93
Trail by 205 runs. (Everton 381-7 dec)
Kirkland 11-4-15-0
Heath* 110 (187 balls)
Parkin 26 (80 balls)

Looks destined to be a draw. At least it would be harder for me to lose than to win though currently

Pretty happy with my game, going to day 3 and if bowling goes the same way it did earlier it should be over in the first session.

Just wondering if anyone has managed figures like this against a human opponent in FC?

That's incredible Justin.

End of Over 87 (1 runs). Greenbank: 415-2, runrate=4.77
Lead by 80 runs. (Bobbys Marvels 335-10)
Shakes 18-2-76-0
Watson* 110 (157 balls)
Nokwe 72 (118 balls)
Last Wicket: Hodgson c. Cherry b. Trainer 114 (FOW: 302/2)

First game in the V division and it's going well. Both openers got Centuries and so has my number 3. Number 4 is destined for a 100 too. Gonna declare end of day and do our best to bowl them out for under 200 and try to win although it is bound to be a draw.

 

[Jaztheman]

Well in the last 6 overs I got 21 runs but lost a wicket! Watson went for 125. Nokwe finished on 76* and Mckoy got 1*. A 101 run lead and I'm going to declare straight away and hopefully bowl them out tomorow.

Hope this is the sign of Barrowdale returning to form

End of Over 34 (3 runs). SCIB: 113-3, runrate=3.32 (1st Inn: 315-10)
Lead by 50 runs. (Baggy Blues 378-10)
Borrowdale 13-2-23-2
Sipho* 46 (84 balls)
Walcott 4 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Northrop c. Masibulele b. Borrowdale 22 (FOW: 100/3)

If I somehow got 7 wickets I might have a chance to pull of a biggie

 

[angryangy]

Fighting Mongooses trail by 251 at lunch with 7 wickets in hand and Barton still in the shed. At the current rate, a draw is unlikely, but a loss may yet eventuate.

 

[aussie1st]

Just over one session to chase down 160, not likely but good effort by the bowlers Barrowdale and Hitish in particular taking 5 and 3 respectively.

End of Over 62 (1 runs). SCIB: 227-10, runrate=3.66 (1st Inn: 315-10)
Lead by 164 runs. (Baggy Blues 378-10)
Hitish 16-2-72-3
Mcgowan* 57 (72 balls)

 

[angryangy]

Barton failed again; I think we'll discard the West Indian tactics and be more aggressive. Good news is that I can probably avoid hitting 1st this season.

 

[aussie1st]

Hehe, I had the same thing happened to Masi.

My best FC game in ages, it has that OD feel about it.

End of Over 22 (5 runs). Baggy Blues: 75-4, runrate=3.41 (1st Inn: 378-10)
Trail by 89 runs. (SCIB 315-10 & 227-10)
Piatt 11-1-42-2
Sayce* 1 (4 balls)
Stubbs 39 (72 balls)
Last Wicket: Germon c. Mcgowan b. Jaco 11 (FOW: 70/4)

My average hogger from last season (Sayce) has to stay there with Stubbs whose playing a Hayden like knock.

 

[aussie1st]

Geez I'm starting to hate the dusty pitch. My pacemen just can't get wickets on it.

End of Over 11: 54-0, runrate=4.91
Mampe 1-0-6-0
Vanat* 40 (33 balls)
Makgale 10 (33 balls)

Uneven pitch, cloudy and windy; you're kidding me...

Looks like the results have been reversed

Winnacott* 0 (0 balls)
Murray 69 (113 balls)

Last Wicket: Soares b. Wheeler 2 (FOW: 126/7)

Very intriguing game this. This team should beat me but he underestimated me and played his 2nd XI. Looks like it'll be all over before the end of tomorrow.

Played at his home ground, BTW.

Winnacott* 0 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Boyce c. Martin b. Jan 0 (FOW: 128/9)

I hope the other bowler doesn't take the last wicket. Jojo deserves the 7fer.

 

[angryangy]

Yeah.

Ball Droppers 157 (55.3)
Pearse 58
Wharrad 4/32
Moodley 4/44

Fighting Mongooses 2/210 (54.0)
Barton 77*
Dodge 72

That would suck.

 

[aussie_ben91]

I hate losing wickets when you have to go in and bat the last 2 or 3 overs of the day.

3/17 off 7 overs with a 56 run lead. Hmmm...
