Shouldn't be too hard to win my match, now. Bowled them out for 36 in first innings, then I got 501/2 dec. The bowlers were very good in the first innings against them, all get 3 wickets, while the top four of my batting lineup all hit centuries. They had enough time for 12 overs in their second innings and the score after that was 8/1! They weren't batting that quick. Expected 2 more wickets though in those overs but it wasn't to be. Should clear them up very quickly today.

Lol wow wasn't expecting my 2nd 11 to have a day off. After declaring at 3/401, Hitish and Mohammed cleaned up taking 5 wickets a piece rolling them all out for 28 in 17 overs.

[Highlander999]

That's the 100 up. Wish I had set my orders to very defesnive on the first day. Would have guaranteed, I got a third day's worth of revenue. At the moment it is touch and go, although Belgrave looks in good touch and Africa has been in excellent form recently;

The first season is always easy Funky

Really am impressed with my batsmen today. If they can survive this final session and get me to Day 3, I'll be speechless. Belgrave and Hawkins keep giving me selection issues as when I consider dropping one, he'll suddenly perform and the other won't.

The players are off the field for tea.

[Maxkarter]

And how many of those have been against human opponents then?

 

[Highlander999]

First ball after tea :

62.1 W Seargeant to Bolder
A slightly quicker ball from Seargeant draws Bolder into the shot and a simple catch at slip is the result.

 

[Highlander999]

Only have to survive another 25 minutes. I really hope the tail can hang around :upray

Taking a risk by PAN today, but with Mbeki yet to bowl in his perfect conditions im liking my chances of under 200

 

[aussie1st]

A quickfire 74 from 65 balls from Masi just a shame he didn't convert. Fincher and Chav now at the crease. Probably need 350+ the way my bowling attack is going.
