Bot bashing for me, new PFL changes mean they're lasting slightly longer though!

End of Over 28 (2 runs). MCC World X11: 39-6, runrate=1.39

Hopefully mop them up soon and reach 360 to declare by the end of the day (away match).

5 wicket haul for (one of) my new bowler(s). Happy days!

return match sees Tzaneen, Ndebele and Dugdale join Kerwin poolside ahead of two crunch OD games this week and next (well, four counting BC games).

Anyway 143-0 and cruising at lunch.

End of Over 54 (Maiden). Worse than Beefcake: 111-10, runrate=2.06 
Perry 8-2-6-1
Shaw* 9 (13 balls)

  Beat them by an innings in first match and going well here.  Back in with an outside chance of top 4 if I win this.  Just lost a wicket first ball which I could have done without as I need to get max batting points.

End of Over 25 (3 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 112-1, runrate=4.48

Musn't grumble, have my decent batters lower down the order just incase though!

(was unsure how the new PFL changes would make the bot play)

Well that was a good bok then!

End of Over 28 (9 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 126-3, runrate=4.50

Lucky I did put some decent players in, otherwise I would be missing out on precious bonus points!

going well

End of Over 67 (1 runs, 4lb). norfolkngood: 282-2, runrate=4.21

Due to declare at 400, so hoping for a good few wickets tonight

the team finished their innings with a bang

Now to take quick, cheap, early wickets

0.2    W   Doyle to Gwynne
        Gwynne trips and falls over, easily run out

Thats the way to do it

2.2    4   Doyle to Tucker
        Late cut, into the gap and over the boundary at backward point.

NAUGHTY Tucker


2.3    W   Doyle to Tucker
        Tucker shuffles across his stumps to a ball of fullish length from Doyle. Trapped plumb in front.

Think Doyle was annoyed conceding that boundary???

Great start have them 6-2

LOL, must've been.

Both openers got tons but no-one else has got going, 331-5 off 83 and unlikely to reach declaration target (405) off 95 overs as planned, still might squeeze a few overs in before end of the day, assuming Parkinson has another decent knock at 7.  The manager is content.

hmm 374-6 off 89, Parkinson out after a quickfire 29.

edit: my batters have gone into 20/20 mode, just passed the 405 in the 93rd over :)  (407-6dec)

Slooooooooooooooooooooow progress for me in my reply.  Was hoping to rattle in the runs quickly to try and get the game finished inside 2 days.

End of Over 42 (2 runs). KBOTW: 111-1, runrate=2.64

very slow scoring by my opponents, and I am taking a few wickets

Last Wicket: Sykes c. Birchall b. Downes 15 (FOW: 42/4)

1 more to get me into the tail please

Max batting points now in doubt as I only bat to 6 in this match.  Another abject failure from Morgan, I've tried him in just about every batting position and cannot get any consistency from him.  Meyer will help the run rate but need him to hang around and make a score.

End of Over 48 (5 runs, 1lb). KBOTW: 143-3, runrate=2.98  
Lead by 32 runs. (Worse than Beefcake 111-10)

End of Over 66 (13 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 353-5, runrate=5.35

Could have been better, still on for a max points win though, PFL hits shouldn't be too bad so I can't really complain!

team is raking up runs against me to insure it lasts 2 days so he gets his gate

oh dear hope he puts in too hoigh a total

finished the day on 94-6. Should be over tomorrow

 got them at 46-4 :)
They did manage to hit two of my bowlers out of the attack though!

Finished mine off in the day against my Non Bot opponent - he will be Bot soon admittedly.

53/10 off 33 overs.
375/1 from 50 - :)
35/10 off 25 overs.

Some day.

A few days rest and max points, happy days.

I had an awful finish to the day leaving me on 189-5.  No chance of max batting points now, will be lucky to get 2points.  Also  if opponents can put a decent score together in their second innings I might be vulnerable.

Exciting morning watching my opponents bat

16 overs

11 runs

1 wicket

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My other new bowler has a 5 wicket haul now.

End of Over 26 (Maiden). MCC World X11: 56-6, runrate=2.15 (1st Inn: 40-10)

Shouldn't be too much hassle - hopefully the bowler I want to play on friday won't have to bowl again :)

I ended up all out for 225 so thats 4 batting points down the drain, which could prove to be crucial at the end of the season. They are 33-2 in reply so one positive is it appears  that I will get the match over and done with today.

I've won :)

Best of luck bazza!

They are putting up a bit of resistance but with 40overs left should get it done and dusted today.

End of Over 54 (Maiden). Worse than Beefcake: 134-7, runrate=2.48 (1st Inn: 111-10)

Lungile* 25 (43 balls)
Abdul kadir 4 (23 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Pratley b. Talamini 3 (FOW: 115/7)

Well, my lot have got to come back again tomorrow. After skittling them for 103 they put up a much better effort in their second innings, reaching 255-8 at the close, still just less than 50 behind.

Still, should finish them off for an easy win before I can be bothered to get out of bed tomorrow :)

End of Over 7 (2 runs). askam11: 25-1, runrate=3.57 (1st Inn: 831-10)
Lead by 822 runs. (Ironshire 34-10)


best hope for me is that the guy doesnt log in forgets to set a target and bats all day as i dont think my batsmen will last long

Won easily enough by an innings and 167 runs. With 2 places seemingly going up in FC, I've practically wrapped the league up

Good on yer. I won, to put me back to second. Just have to hope Mr96Kaweek wages is feeling drained by the time I face them again at the end of the season. Now for the crunch OD game this friday :)

i made 13 in my 2nd innings i think i lost
