Planetcricket Battrick League Final Thread

[The Spin]

13.1 W Leighton to Laird
Nicked and gone, good catch by first slip. Marsh had a hard time keeping his eye on that, especially since Burnip was diving across in front of him.

67-3! CG's are doing great!

 

[Adarsh]

I see that vintners has gone for the one-batsman, one-bowler lineup.

 

[The Spin]

Am I the only person round here who goes for the simple idea of putting batters at the top, bowlers at the bottom?

In other news I am out of the shield! I lost again to Borncricketers XI

15 Over Update

End of Over 15: 73-3, runrate=4.87
Cummings 1-0-2-0
Swift* 48 (50 balls)
Stratford 3 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Laird c. Marsh b. Leighton 3 (FOW: 67/3)

CG's on top at the moment, wickets are falling quickly

 

[vintners]

This is only the second time I've tried it. I'm usually very straight in the line up but my bowlers have been averaging about 1 run each all season so I thought I'd try to shake them up a little.

 

[Adarsh]

All part of Zorax's "cunning" stratergy, eh?

Maybe you should have tried it in your league game!

Swift is looking settled though, you need him to kick on with one of the batsman and make a big score to put CG under trouble.

16/04/2006 Briggs XI v The Falcons

Briggs XI won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Cracked

End of Over 15: 65-3, runrate=4.33
Rowson 1-0-1-0
Powell* 22 (18 balls)
Lister 16 (26 balls)

Last Wicket: Masood c. Henman b. Forbes 12 (FOW: 29/3)

Not bad at all!

15.4 4 Leighton to Swift
Great timing as the ball disappears through backward point for four runs.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

EDIT: Briggs, stop editing my posts!

 

[vintners]

C'mon Swifty!!!!

 

[The Spin]

18.3 W Cummings to Stratford
He plays all around a straight one and is plumb in front.

95-4, Bushwackers need a good partnership

 

[Briggsey]

19.4 W Thatcher to Powell
An awful mix up there - go, stay, go - and Powell is left stranded.

Huge wicket in my game! Powell scored his 50 from 30 balls and now he's gone!

 

[The Spin]

End of Over 20: 106-4, runrate=5.30
Leighton 5-0-27-1
Swift* 70 (69 balls)
Heggett 3 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Stratford lbw b. Cummings 6 (FOW: 95/4)

Id say CG's have the upper hand

 

[vintners]

If Swift goes this could be over very quickly!

 

[FreddieFan]

I'm in trouble against Casino 36:

End of Over 21: 86-4, runrate=4.10
Penford 1-0-5-1
Fieldwick* 15 (44 balls)
Lee 2 (3 balls)

 

[The Spin]

Has this become the commentry thread?

Adarsh can take over updates from here if he wants

 

[Briggsey]

Drama!

24.5 . Cummings to Heggett
EDGED! Falls just short of slip. Heggett showed nice soft hands to make sure that that didn't carry.
