[amcgrath1uk]

I have a similar league to ironside's last year.. aka impossible!!

4 teams in the top half I'll be lucky to get 1 point from any of them!!

Bowled out for 35 second time round

i'll let the ratings tell the story ( thankfully only 1/2 of my first choice team played)

 Dorset CC     Staples015
Top Order:    proficient    feeble
Middle Order:    mediocre    woeful
Lower Order:    competent    worthless
Seam Bowling:    superb    feeble
Spin Bowling:    respectable    mediocre
Fielding:    woeful    abysmal

Have a very winnable game on Friday, so the full force will be playing in that!

I was bowled out for 978 in the penultimate over of the day and then took a wicket in the final over so should mop the rest of the wickets up pretty quickly on Day 3 assuming all goes according to plan.

[vegaslover]

I lost by an innings and a 100+ runs
Somehow my bowlers managed to get a bonus point, happy days

[booder]

i go into the final day 110 runs behind with 6 wickets remaining. need to bat out the day to avoid innings defeat.....aint gonna happen

[divaflava]

Well, that didn't take long Nice nine wicket win over last year's fourth placed team, conceding one bonus point, to start off the season

[Bazzaboy]

I bowled them out for a grand total of 3 runs   Good job I batted for as long as I did yesterday.

[Ironside]

i declard over night and took them out for 11 runs in under 15 overs

[Nakor]

A big draw and 12 points for me today

Need a win tomorrow to stand any chance of running Ram close in One Day.

[pokerram]

[Nakor]

I am so much stronger then any previous season, but would be happy with 4th in both leagues.

Standard way up this year.

Best of luck my Nemesis.

End of Over 44 (2 runs, 1lb). Athletico Foxy: 168-5, runrate=3.82 (1st Inn: 403-6 dec)
Lead by 347 runs. (Toddles Heroes 224-10)

Day 2 went well as Foxy bowled the opposition out for 224 and gained a lead of 179.  Decided not to enforce follow on as I'm in unknown territory with regards to stamina now, and then stuttered to 168-5 in 2nd inns.

In a healthy position where I could/should win with overnight lead of 347. 

So tempted to declare now but will probably try for another quick 30/40 in the morning.

Totally stuffed this one up and only now has the pain subsided enough to talk about it! 

Set declaration for 200, checked it, and then proceded next day to watch my tail bat on way past this figure before ending up at 271 all out.

Vitally this used up about 34 extra overs which would been enough to claim the 4 remaining wickets oppos had at close of play.   ( bear in mind last four wickets fell in 2 overs first inns!    )

Chance of first div V win and I blew it!
