Got the bot to collapse, it's my second XI playing, considering batting and declaring at stumps regardless of the score, to give myself a good chase in the second innings.

End of Over 67 (2 runs). Brookfield Fury: 144-9, runrate=2.15
Overs left today: 43
Marcel 10-2-21-2
Tsietsi* 0 (4 balls)

Morton 23-12-29-3

Kirton 1-0-1-0
Gill* 52 (54 balls)

Happy with the start, should be past them overnight TBH. I think I'll bat to a massive score, perhaps, or declare soon (eg about 250 so these lads have chances at their tons).

Overs left today: 84
Fraser 2-0-7-0
Allerston* 57 (82 balls)
Wiederhold 10 (17 balls)
Last Wicket: Pasea c. Hull b. Colley 56 (FOW: 107/2)

The team I'm facing actually plays in division III in the ODI format so he still has an incredible squad, but i dont think he cares for the FC format as he is in my division. Nice knock from Pasea who I have decided is one of my better players now. But Allerston is my god! 2 Hundreds in 3 OD Games to start the season. Currently has 306 runs from 5* games this season! The 5th game is the match in progress. Considering I got rolled in my first game it would be nice to win this one, but really it's all down to guy's team. For example reporters summary from a first class game:

The Underarm Bowlers	
Top Order:	        woeful	
Middle Order:	woeful	
Lower Order:	woeful	
Seam Bowling:	woeful	
Spin Bowling:	worthless	
Fielding:	        feeble

Than compare that with a OD game;

The Underarm Bowlers	
Top Order:	        sensational	
Middle Order:	respectable	
Lower Order:	feeble	
Seam Bowling:	superb	
Spin Bowling:	feeble	
Fielding:	       competent

I hope he does play a weakened team because then I get some point on the board

 

[Jakester1288]

Just compare the team from the bad match to the good one, and you'll know what you are up against.

End of Over 35 (10 runs). Off Drive: 203-2, runrate=5.80
Overs left today: 75
Paul 9-0-65-0
Wiederhold* 46 (49 balls)
Allerston 77 (105 balls)
Last Wicket: Pasea c. Hull b. Colley 56 (FOW: 107/2)

I could be bowling by tea at this rate! I set my declaration target at 400 and I made 200 by lunch! I didn't even think we were batting quickly! Would love Allerston to get another century and make it 3 centuries from 5 games.

I have played this team twice before 1 won once and we drew the other game. The draw was a fascinating game and his last wicket partnership to save the game was Jimmy and Monty Esque!

End of Over 41 (Maiden). bannermans: 80-10, runrate=1.95
Overs left today: 69
Mampe 6-1-9-3
Langhammer* 1 (7 balls)

Spin domination for Kelly and Mampe, I'm liking this!

Now for Teasedale and Surmon to blast their way to 360.

Both Allerston and Wiederhold 150's

 

[Maxkarter]

Things are going okay, would have liked Teasedale to have gotten a 100, but such is the game. Hopefully I reach the declaration total without losing any more wickets.
