Yeah this guy is a lot better than me. Set batsmen on Very Defensive now. Just gonna try and bat out tomorrow and go for the draw:

Welcome to St Georges Park for the match between Coast Warriors and Muireston.

We can tell you that Muireston won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this sunny day.

End of Over 110 (7 runs). Coast Warriors: 602-8, runrate=5.47

Stanford 20-2-100-2

Nyikadzino* 8 (8 balls)
Mccoy 2 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Baines b. Mosheua 15 (FOW: 593/8)

Well he's probably not going to make 650. Still, it looks like your up against it there. Good luck on very defensive.

End of Over 45 (1 runs). Pork Piers: 128-2, runrate=2.84
Trail by 31 runs. (Everton 159-10)
Mampe 4-1-5-1
Constable* 53 (124 balls)
Farmer 5 (20 balls)

Wrong decision to bat first. Or maybe My batting simply isn't div III standard yet. Oh well.

390/3 at end of days play, lead by 337 runs. Pilkington has 100* on debut and McDonald has 92*. Good batting display from top order woth Hodgson(111) and Wylie(65) helping the runs along. Only Raisani failed at number 3, only managing 10. Don't think he is a number 3. Might swap him in the following games to find where they play best.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

they are 160or so for 4.


Shocking.

End of Over 34 (1 runs). The Southern Sharks: 68-2, runrate=2.00 (1st Inn: 114-10)
Trail by 271 runs. (Cronulla Sharks 453-4 dec)
Lewington 9-1-19-0
Nicholls* 39 (96 balls)
Marshall 18 (95 balls)

Losing quite happily, i know this is his top line up so it should be good to see how good he is. I wish Nicholls would get out to save PFL for fridays showdown

Bugger all chance of a result here. Well, I guess I could get even more run outs than the first innings and lose, but even 280 would ensure a draw in this context. Really frustrating game though, I can't see a batsman better than proficient in there and yet they've all just been impossible to get out.

851/7 now thanks to Pilkington getting 167 and McDonald 154, today. Davidson came and made a quick 34 but he may be leaving us soon. Hodge came and got our fourth century of the match, notching 135 runs. Since then Legwathi and Nkoe have been at the crease. Nkoe is on 119* whilst Lekgwathi is only on 12. Should easily get it to the third day, meaning even more money for me.

I had a little chuckle when this happened.

32.1 . Fairweather to Solomon
Classic forward defensive there from Solomon, no way through that for any bowler. Fairweather is going to have to try something else here if he wants a wicket.

32.2 4 Fairweather to Solomon
Off the outside edge, and between first and second slip who just look at each other, four runs.

32.3 1 Fairweather to Solomon
He got lucky there, caught the leading edge but they scamper through for a single.

Obviously he tried something else because he got 2 edges straight afterwards.

End of Over 35 (6 runs). Aussie Bombers: 164-4, runrate=4.69 (1st Inn: 418-10)
Trail by 307 runs. (Legless XI 485-10 & 404-1 dec)
Fairweather 8-0-48-0
Noon* 34 (32 balls)
Solomon 37 (50 balls)
Last Wicket: Zakaria lbw b. Cumberworth 46 (FOW: 108/4)

I hope I can stay in for another hour and a half(+7 minutes).

Sam turning back the clock. Took 4 in the first inns and then 7 in the 2nd. Hes certainly going to be near the top of the bowling averages
