End of Over 28: 158-3, runrate=5.64

The pitch is uneven, so wickets should fall, thinking 250 would be a good score!

My 2 best bats in now with not much batting to come afterwards (i've left myself vulnerable in that sense this season!)

lol, one minute i am 153/1 - i go do something in the office for 5 minutes and i come back to find i am 167/4!!!

That'll teach you not to neglect your duties...

end of over  32


184/0

another century for Hendrie 

on target for a decent score , but playing 2 new bowlers so no idea what a defendable score is

[matt674]

wow, 175/6 now - keep this batting collapse up and i'm going to have to change my team name to "England"

[booder]

here we go again.........

from 272/2  both openers hitting centurys




End of Over 45: 280-5, runrate=6.22
Walton 8-1-49-4
Van der merwe* 28 (23 balls)
Anton 0 (0 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Hezeltine c. Murdoch b. Walton 1 (FOW: 280/5)
 
 
44.6 W Walton to Hezeltine
    Hezeltine has top-edged that one straight up into the air and is making his way back to the pavillion before the catch is even taken. 
44.5 1 Walton to Van der merwe
    Gently played down to long on and Gould runs around to keep it down to a single.
44.4 1 Walton to Hezeltine
    Stands up tall and works it away to third man.
44.3 W Walton to Butcher
    Charges down the wicket only to be deceived by the slower offcutter which pegs back middle and leg stump! Bowled 'em!
44.2 W Walton to Joele
    Hook, line and sinker! The short ball is too hard to resist for Joele, who takes the bait and duly hooks it straight to the man waiting at deep backward square.
44.1 1 Walton to Van der merwe
    Van der merwe is finding the gaps like a minibus taxi in rush hour traffic.

the batting collapse from hell

now 288/8

[matt674]

from 153/1 to 204 all out

In reply they are 21/1

[booder]

272/2     to   297  all out



may be about 40 runs short of good score

It's things like this I find most frustrating:

48.5   W   Haughton to Wright
        It's in the air, I think Cawson is just too far away.....no, he's caught it! Cawson went down in a tangle of arms and legs and came up holding the ball! Brilliant!
48.4    1   Haughton to Clarke
        Smart batting by Clarke. Rotating the strike and picking up a quick single.
48.3    1   Haughton to Wright
        Solid stroke to mid off.
48.2    W   Haughton to Mullins
        That's pure village from Mullins. He swung the bat as hard he could but the ball simply went straight down long on's throat.
48.1    1   Haughton to Clarke
        An athletic, full length dive restricts them to a single.

Clarke being the strong batsman, the others being worthless tailenders. Hog the strike man!

[Bongo]

48.6 was, rather predictably, a wicket as well.

End of Over 50: 299-10, runrate=5.98

Clarke 97 not out.

[pokerram]

ramshire 90 all out.tykes 91-0

[booder]

neverends

[Nakor]

Tis the day for collapses.

Crashed to 223-10, I suspect my opponent bowled a newbie for 10 straight to lull me into a false sense of security.

Come on bowlers you can do it.

Sigh.
