I won't win but what an effort!

EDIT:
17.2 W Bibee to Watson
Watson tries to sweep and completely miscues the shot, and the ball takes off the bails. OUT!

:(
 
Dam bot won the toss :( Looks like I'll have to bring on my part time worthless bowlers :p

Last Wicket: Lee c. Shotton-oza b. Coetzer 75 (FOW: 208/3)
 
Im currently 505/7 with centurys from Ed Harris (168) and Greg Mbeki (133)

Clinton Lisbie (Comp/Abys Bat & Abysmal Form) is currently on 89 not out... I think i might give him a chance to score his 2nd ever FC tonne before declaring
 
End of Over 72 (6 runs). Shore Athletic: 456-1, runrate=6.33
Lead by 441 runs. (Jet Harks 15-10)
Hanley 16-0-91-0
Raisani* 71 (75 balls)
Wylie 237 (222 balls)
Last Wicket: Hodgson c. Van zyl b. Louis 130 (FOW: 287/1)

Hodgson continues his good start to the season with 130 and although my batting lineup was supposed to have Davidson hat 3 instead of Raisani, I'm not too bothered. I must of forgot to change them. Wylie has finally found his feet after an average start to the season. Bowling wise and it only took our opening bowlers to get them out. Coutts got 2-10, which is great, but the main bowler was Sotho. He got career best figures of 8-3! Legend. Declaring at 500 I think so might be declaring tonight. Most probably.
 
Lisbie got his century and im in the middle of tearing apart his batting slowlt to ensure a third day

Melia 9-0-30-3
Solomon* 2 (2 balls)
Poulter 11 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Zakaria lbw b. Melia 86 (FOW: 193/4)

I really close game here. After this partnership I only have a bowling all rounder left.

Let's hope my boys can hang on for a win.

Check out the graph. Pretty much even.
 
My team performed as per their aggression. Bowled them for 93 in 41 overs! Sawyer taking 2 early wickets, Semple 3-12 the pick of the bowlers.
 
41.6 4 Thornley to Poulter
You beauty, he has timed the pants off that delivery.

Needed that. Lost Solomon though, now I'm 5 down.

End of Over 42: 218-5, runrate=5.19, reqrunrate=5.12 (258-8)
Thornley 9-0-47-0
Tolley* 4 (9 balls)
Poulter 27 (24 balls)
Last Wicket: Solomon lbw b. Melia 3 (FOW: 205/5)

41 to win in 5 overs. Tolley is a med bat(Worst out of the batsman, but he is a bowler), so hopefully he can stick around.
