What evening that was. The best game of the tournament followed by the second or third best. Although the second match went down to the penultimate ball; there's nothing like watching Lucky Lockdown Lunatics implode.

Thunder limped their way to 158 from their 20 overs. Slipping from 53/1 to 78/5 during overs 7-10. Alastair Cook bounded to the crease for the Lucky Lockdown Lunatics. He started cut and flick and blasting like he was Chris Gayle. He put on 44 with Tom Bruce and after ten overs, at the crease with David Miller, the Lunatics were 87/1. Then things went awry. Chris Green and Shoaib Malik picked up 3 quick ones. Then Adam Zampa another three quick ones. From a position of absolute dominance they were 135/8, need 24 from 24 balls. Despite the efforts of Mark Wood it was a bridge too far. Jack Leach the last man out. Thrilling stuff!

Thunder are top of Group B. Although Gilly's Grubs and Fire In Babylon meet in a crucial game tomorrow. The Lunatics join Neptune Gaming in the dustbin. No wins. No points. No good.

Spoiler: Lucky Lockdown Lunatics v Thunder

I didn't think we'd see anything close from the next match, but it was another crackers. Blocktown, despite some questionable play from Guptill, got up to a competitive 180/1 in their innings. For much of their innings the Spartans made it look an easily chaseable total. Paul Stirling notched up his third 50 in a row (@sonimrajk would you like to trade for Colin Ingram?). Then a collapse of sorts occured. fFrom 127/3 to 167/7 and all of a sudden 20 from 12 gave us a real nail baiter. However, despite his three wickets, Parvez Rasool couldn't defend 13 from his last over, courtesy of some lovely work through the third man region by Washington Sundar. I think Spartans have been practicing that shot because they played it all the bloody time. There was a super catch to dimiss Kehar Jadhav in there though, a real moment of magic.

Spartans join Blocktown on 9 points. Not enough to guarantee either of them qualification. San Francisco Suckers v Twelve Fine Legs means both these teams can still get to at least 9 points (San Fran still up to 12).

Spoiler: Blocktown Brotherhood v Spartans

Martin Guptill tops the run scoring charts on 249. Paul Stirling is second on 236. Jason Roy, Kusal Perera and Tom Bruce make up the top five.

Mark Wood goes to eight wickets, second place on his own, behind Jasprit Bumrah with 9. Zampa and Mooen Ali join McBrine, Narine, Shadab Khan and Santer on 7 wickets.

Plan tomorrow; hoping to start about 10am.

Ducks XI v Short Leg XI
Gilly's Grubs v Fire In Babylon

Tomorrow evening. Might save this 9 or 10pm.

San Francisco Suckers v Twelve Fine Legs

Nothing on Wednesday. I shall do a random selection for pitches in the neutral games. I'll share these later today or tomorrow for you to prepare your teams.

Blocktown Brotherhood vs Spartans was an absolute thriller of a match. Loved each and every ball in the chase.
As Dhoni is our captain, he is making sure that our team is practicing unorthodox shots a lot during net practice.
Our team is now practicing these shots for the next match.

Important message and team news from the boss

I have built a phenomenal team,maybe the most phenomenal croquet team the world has ever seen,even the Chinese foreign minister phoned me to tell me how phenomenal it is.
But I received a great offer from tournament organisers,so that our captain

And some other star players can take an all expenses paid trip to a North Korean power plant.Maybe if they're exposed to nuclear energy they might come out looking like Lou Ferigno? I believe that maybe is possible.
So without them,this incredible really incredible team,have I told you how incredible it is?
With the help of UV light and bleach and a FAKE wicket keeper,we will shoot down the Ducks.

UP THE FRINGE

The one rule, even for The Donald, is a WK must be in the side. So Perera has to play.
