Had a shocking start at 2/27 after 10 overs but Branch and Chav put on a 179 run partnership. Branch just got out but not to worry, my best batter is coming in to do the Hussey role

End of Over 41: 206-3, runrate=5.02
Blakeman 6-1-18-3
Crouch* 1 (1 balls)
Chavhanga 109 (119 balls)
Last Wicket: Branch lbw b. Blakeman 66 (FOW: 205/3)

Good old PAN is working nicely for me.
Got 6/270 and rolled them for 70, another team effort by the bowlers.

RS, some how his player got MOTM despite Chav getting a 100 and Mampe ripping his top order apart.

Lynx Dragons Baggy Blues
Top Order: quality remarkable
Middle Order: wonderful exceptional
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: masterful exceptional
Spin Bowling: elite miraculous
Fielding: respectable feeble
MOTM: Blakeman

Last Wicket: Bishop st. Wiese b. Mametsa 99 (FOW: 219/3)

Bishop : 99 ( 86 balls )

Sad to see both Singh & Bishop missing their centuries, in particular, Bishop!

Anyways, till now it's going great as a team. :banana2

I think, the opponent has rested his key players because I did see his RS same as mine. Anyways, great going for Tigers till now. :banana2

Lol my wicket keeper just picked up 3 wickets. Admittedly it was tailenders but still funny to see.

I'm being humped. They declared at 507/1. ONE !
All was going well till I was 200/3...till I was 229 all out.
Following on , I'm 150/1. Let's hope there isn't another collapse.

Done some nice saving of PFL by having my 2nd string bowlers do the work, hopefully my bowlers in the field won't take too much of a hit.

Oops looks like my PAN run has run out, will need my batters to do the business or a collapse.

What an awesome game (you know I won since I'm posting )

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 7 wickets.
Hodder's XI 268-4
Baggy Blues 269-3


End of Over 50: 269-3, runrate=5.38
Reeve 10-0-69-0
Crouch* 83 (104 balls)
107 (108 balls)

49.6 1 Reeve to Crouch
On the back foot, played out to deep point for a single.
49.5 1 Reeve to Chavhanga
Chavhanga plays tip and run and good backing up from his partner ensures that the throw from the bowler hits the stumps too late.
49.4 1 Reeve to Crouch
Reeve has bowled a stinker, but Crouch has been surprisingly lenient. He should have hit that for four.
49.3 4 Reeve to Crouch
Wide outside off stump, sliced down past wide third man for four.
49.2 1 Reeve to Chavhanga
Played with an air of casualness to deep cover, and they amble a single. A great throw back in by Meadows though, gives them the hurry up.
49.1 1 Reeve to Crouch
Short of a length on the off, dropped short of Biddington at cover for a quick single.

End of Over 49: 260-3, runrate=5.31, reqrunrate=9.00 (268-4)
Rampaul 10-0-76-0
Crouch* 76 (100 balls)

Morrell* 35 (25 balls)

Decent enough score. Now my all-spin attack should get them quickly on my beautiful dusty pitch.

Well haven't collapsed which is a good sign.

End of Over 41: 179-2, runrate=4.37
Forrester 6-1-15-1
Branch* 25 (20 balls)
Chavhanga 80 (98 balls)
Last Wicket: Masibulele lbw b. Munir 56 (FOW: 140/2)

Going to be a tough ask defending whatever I get though, 300+ would be the safe target against his batters.

Awesome knock by Branch, really took a liking to Bulathsinghala.

End of Over 50: 260-3, runrate=5.20
Bulathsinghala 10-1-71-0

Chambers has removed the elite top order (3-17), surprisingly Mampe has been my most expensive.

End of Over 22: 83-3, runrate=3.77, reqrunrate=6.36 (260-3)
Mampe 6-0-31-0
Tedstone* 9 (9 balls)
Nason 6 (12 balls)
Last Wicket: Harding c. Mampe b. Chambers 34 (FOW: 69/3)

Mampe ends with respectable figures of 1-39. Chambers then takes 2 more out to grab his 5 fer.

End of Over 33: 125-6, runrate=3.79, reqrunrate=8.00 (260-3)
Chambers 7-0-25-5
Rupusinghe* 6 (10 balls)
Perry 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Bulathsinghala c. Masibulele b. Chambers 0 (FOW: 125/6)

Chambers what a legend! He grabs an 8 fer matching Fernades one earlier in the season.

End of Over 39: 132-10, runrate=3.38
Chambers 9-1-27-8
Benjamin* 1 (3 balls)
