Not looking good.  Have 2 decent bowlers on the last 10 so you never know.

[Ironside]

maniey just went to the spinner

devlins in his form is not great but he is a good batsman and his form has been improving

[Bazzaboy]

End of Over 40: 234-4, runrate=5.85, reqrunrate=6.40 (297-10)

I was 218-2 at same stage.

[Bongo]

Game over.

One consolation is his batsman finished on 99 not out

Close!!!

[Bazzaboy]

and then this

46.6 4 Marcel to Hezeltine
    Hezeltine has smashed that through the covers for four.
46.5 1 Marcel to Cambridge
    Played off the toes to deep square leg.
46.4 1 Marcel to Hezeltine
    Smacked to a wide long off. Bates doing well to prevent the boundary.
46.3 3 Marcel to Cambridge
    Good sliding stop by Healy, Cambridge thought he'd got four there. Never mind.
46.2 4 Marcel to Cambridge
    Cambridge leans back and pulls it well in front of square and it races away for four. 
46.1 1 Marcel to Hezeltine
    Easily played down to long off for a single. Sensible batting equals predictable future.

should be comfortable

[Bongo]

Ironside's game just took a rather sick turn...

[Bongo]

Luckily his tailender got off strike and his batsman saw him home!

over 45....

W Holloway to Hendrie
    Through the gap; Hendrie was all at sea. Superb bowling from Holloway.

over 46....

single run
single run
single run
W Hawkins to Halls
    Halls tries to cut, but it's not wide enough and he drags it onto his stumps! 
 W Hawkins to Perkins
    The ball hits him on the pads, the umpire thinks about it for a moment and yes, up goes the finger. Good decision there by the umpire

over 47.....
single run
 W Holloway to Baptist
    Archer must have superglue on his hands to be able to hold onto that one. Magnifique!
 W Holloway to Brooker
    That's an absolute peach of a delivery, finds the edge, and Gledhill takes it at the second attempt.
 W Holloway to Hibbert
    Well it wasn't fast, had no uneven bounce nor seam movement and there seemed to be no distractions. Back to the nets for Hibbert.

( nice time to take a hatrick)


over 48......
4 runs
single run
single run


over 49.....

W Holloway to Anton
    No need for the third umpire, Johnson has an arm like a cannon. Incredible throw.


7 runs short of victory........soooo rigged


 

[matt674]

My opponents were unbeaten in the league winning by:

286 runs
9 wickets
130 runs

Today i was in a position at 235-5 with 8 overs to go to challenge their total of 283-8 off the 50 overs............

until my tail end were skittled out for 11 runs

i need to find some bowlers who can bat!!

[pokerram]

Wow , What agame my flat wicket worked. One of his batsman scored 145 in a total of315-4. a nice 7 wkt victory with 1.1 overs left to spare

[Ironside]

 Bat2Ball Ironshire
Top Order: mediocre feeble
Middle Order: feeble woeful
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: woeful feeble
Spin Bowling: competent useless
Fielding: feeble feeble
 
MOTM: Bardsley


the only thing i beat him at was seam bowling
but then thats what he gets for picking a seamers
pitch when his top bowler was a spinner and thats why i played an all seam attack

thats 4 points i didnt expect

[Nakor]

Bloody work have blocked the word poker on the ISP again so no Blonde for me at work.

However cricket fine -

Great Win Ram.  Was fine entertainment watching the end of that one in the office today.

I was set a troublesome 248, and creeped in with 5 odd overs to go, losing 3 wickets.  Star batsman got his 3rd duck in 3 games, he does not like the number 3 slot, time for a change, and a change in form is needed as my next 3 opponents are the better teams in the league, except Ram obviously.
