Made 369 against the bot, Rasani making 155 in his last innings with the club, and Spillaine making 152 in his first innings with the club.

Britz took 4/21 in his last bowling display, Jabulile took 1/35 in his last bowling effort with us, Habens took 1/16 after not getting to bat, and Poutney (2/6) and Foxe (2/18) started off well at their new team.

To top it off, Fletcher, our leaving keeper, took 3 catches and a stumping.

Poutney!! You should of brought him off me for 5k! How did Alnwick go?

Stupid lines of code don't know how to take wickets

Heres hoping for an epic collapse in the last 10 overs where they lose all their wickets for few runs......

A very England like batting performance.... Ironically the best performer thus far is an Englisman! Still an inevitable loss on the cards.

In Raisani's first innings at his new club me made a ton.

I wish I had him back now.

10.4 nb6 Wotton to Punchibanda
no ball, Punchibanda falls to one knee and crashes Wotton over the midwicket fence for six.

Talk about losing in style!

I don't like timezones.

Today, when I have a whole day to waste, my game doesn't start till 7:30pm. However, when I have school all day, and don't get home till 4:30, my games start at 9:30am and finish at the latest at 5:00pm.

Anyway, I don't expect my second XI to do much against Pal tonight. If he can post in the next 43 minutes that he is playing a really weak team, I will play a stronger team.

Aiming to beat Matt's 26, if I can beat that, then today's 38 he made.

My first friendly game. I'm batting.

And I played a reversed lineup

Downside is, Fahim was the first of my proper batsmen

The ball is flying high... Oh dear! Right through the windscreen of the Ferrari in the car park, the owner will not be pleased.

Runrate picking up nicely with these two. Flat pitch, partially cloudy and humid. I presume I'll be needing around 280ish.
