[Adarsh]

Not really. He can make a 70 or 80 and will get out. Same for Marsh. Cummings has competant stamina, mediocre batting and mediocre concentration, so he can stay for a while. After that, they're all abysmal or worse.

 

[Briggsey]

Ouch! Hildred's gone for 41 from 70, game on now!

20.1 W Rafiullah to Hildred
If catches win matches, that effort has to win him something more. I don't think I've seen a better return catch.

 

[Adarsh]

End of Over 20: 108-5, runrate=5.40, reqrunrate=5.53 (273-6)
Laird 5-1-15-0
Marsh* 22 (28 balls)
Holme 49 (58 balls)

On the bright side, the runrate is quite good. 200 from 40 overs should be the aim, if I'm going to win it.

I spoke too soon.

 

[FreddieFan]

Wickets and runs in my game. I need to bowl then out, I've not got a hope of restricting them. Griffin needs to bowl well...

 

[Briggsey]

Yep, 108-6 now!

20.1 W Pead to Marsh
Half volley, skied away to long on where Laird takes the catch.

Poor batting that, a shot like that as this stage

20.1 W Pead to Marsh
Half volley, skied away to long on where Laird takes the catch.

The end is nigh.

 

[Briggsey]

22.1 1 Rafiullah to Ainsworth
Swatted leg side, but he finds the man at deep backward square, it'll only be one.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

The man is on his way, come on boys! 50 from 44.

 

[The Spin]

20.1 W Pead to Marsh
Half volley, skied away to long on where Laird takes the catch.

Ouch, that wont help Adarsh

 

[Briggsey]

The end is nigh.

And Ryan is back into the attack as well! another devestating spell could finish this one.

 

[vintners]

Ryan and Heggett in their second spells should finish this off.

 

[Briggsey]

End of Over 25: 122-6, runrate=4.88, reqrunrate=6.08 (273-6)
Pead 3-2-2-1
Holme* 61 (70 balls)
Cummings 2 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Marsh c. Laird b. Pead 22 (FOW: 108/6)

Half way mark, run-rate is over 6 now and Cummings isnt doing much about it!

Small point Briggsey. I think CG have more than 2 wickets remaining.

Thanks very much to everybody for the updates. It feels more exciting than watching the actual commentary

No they dont, they lost 2 wickets as I was writing that, Ryan got them both, he's got 6-33 from 9 overs.

28.2 W Pead to Barker
Off the gloves into Stratford's hands... I'm not sure what's worse, being out or getting hit on the fingers with a ball of that speed. OUCH!

1 wicket left now, wont be long until the new Battrick League Champions are crowned!

 

[Adarsh]

Pead 5-3-6-2
Decent figures, huh?

Holme is still hanging in there. He's got half the runs of the team by himself.
