I just need 2 wickets today, couldnt have played my game any better to stretch it out and got all the revenue

Billy Attwood finished with 7-7

 

[Gilly Fan]

Easy win today. Declared 280 runs ahead, and bowled em out for about 130.

 

[Griffo]

And so the biggest match of my season begins...

End of Over 4: 14-0, runrate=3.50
McDermott 2-0-9-0
Bexfield* 8 (15 balls)
Cheema 6 (9 balls)

If McDermott goes for less than 50 or 60 I will be extremly happy

End of Over 21: 109-3, runrate=5.19, reqrunrate=5.83 (277-3)
Sagren 1-0-4-0
Wotton* 38 (41 balls)
Mbeki 15 (18 balls)

Last Wicket: Nicholls Run Out 1 (FOW: 84/3)

I still have a chance but Mbeki needs to stay in whilst Wotton blasts away, for a bowling side i didnt constrict them enough and/or take wickets... i need a pitch change i think

Ah good old Novus throwing his game
He usually bowls his 2nd best bowler at 2 and him and Williams go through. But this time he changed it around a bit. Also want PAN which I did in our first encounter.

Batting first my duo that took me to round 6 of the Cup again came to the party.
Baggy Blues smacking Novus for his biggest total this seasonat 2/298 (Sawyer 129 [154], Chavhanga 140 [132])

In reply Sawyer did the damage early with 3-17. Was expecting a lot more from Ahmed but he didn't back up Sawyer damage. Ended up bowling them all out for 10/187 (Sawyer 5-30, Barrowdale 3-23)

 

[Gilly Fan]

I defeated 3rd place today.
I think he thought I was still crap.

Strathmore ao/170 (39.5ov)
Seddon 4/46 (9.5)
McMahon 3/29 (10)
Vosloo 1/13 (5)
Tahir 1/21 (7)
Bignot 1/41 (8)

Aussie Bombers 3/171 (39.3ov)
Croft 67
Noon 47
Sturgess 27*

Aussie Bombers win by 7 wickets.

 

[aussie1st]

Sawyer grabbed his usual 3 early wickets leaving Wales CC 29-4 after 10 overs. Clayden replacement then struck with a 3 fer of his own. Mampe backed up with a 2 fer and Barrowdale wasn't required.

Wales CC all out for 53

 

[Griffo]

End of Over 3: 17-1, runrate=5.67
Breedt 2-0-10-1
Wotton* 14 (8 balls)
Nayar 3 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Buchan c. Cockerill b. Breedt 0 (FOW: 0/1)

My first game against LF/Broady in my BT history, Buchan opened so I could work out my middle order for once i buy a new batsmen

13.2 W Potter to Stiles
Went for the big heave-ho, but completely missed it! He hangs his head as he makes the long walk back to the pavilion.
13.1 1 Potter to Cunningham
They really should have that extra slip. Edged to third man for a single.

End of Over 13: 42-3, runrate=3.23
Raven 7-0-24-3
Cunningham* 18 (27 balls)
Stiles 6 (19 balls)


Ludlam in now at 43-4. get him and it should be a convincing victory.

 

[Griffo]

End of Over 25: 138-1, runrate=5.52
Hockley 3-0-14-0
Wotton* 72 (68 balls)
Nayar 65 (80 balls)

Last Wicket: Buchan c. Cockerill b. Breedt 0 (FOW: 0/1)

Losing Nayar wouldnt be a bad thing at the moment lol... but still who cares GO MY TRAINEE!

End of Over 38: 207-1, runrate=5.45
Cameron 9-0-36-0
Nayar* 100 (120 balls)
Wotton 105 (107 balls)

Last Wicket: Buchan c. Cockerill b. Breedt 0 (FOW: 0/1)

Good work boys now pick it up in the last 10 and put over 300 on the board, due to me experimenting i have a stronger middle order than usual so im happy with the current situation

End of Over 50: 307-2, runrate=6.14
Hockley 10-0-60-0
Nicholls* 33 (27 balls)
Wotton 169 (147 balls)

Last Wicket: Nayar c. Cockerill b. Breedt 103 (FOW: 223/2)

Wotton has a new top score and that friendly average keeps getting higher and higher over 100

 

[ste_mc_efc]

2 bowlers on poor PF meant they got 50 more than I would have wanted.

End of Over 8: 32-0, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=4.62 (225-7)
Otto 4-0-20-0
Pollock* 12 (25 balls)
Harbin 19 (23 balls)

Should be able to chase the target though.

 

[Griffo]

End of Over 11: 58-2, runrate=5.27, reqrunrate=6.41 (307-2)
Elsegood 1-0-7-0
Hall* 17 (17 balls)
Mapes 10 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Thay lbw b. Lisbie 29 (FOW: 44/2)

Lisbie bowled terrific in his opening spell but I need to get Hall out to make me feel safe, it will be interesting to see how Mbeki does on such terrible PFL (Invig)
