century stand for the 5th wicket so far 

Dropping my run-shy skipper down to 6 seems to have done the trick

Should get the 300 I need to stand a chance. Now, if only I can get rid of his 11kwage opener without suffering too much damage.

Signing off now as going away for the weekend. Good luck all today and Sunday.

Despite my imminent defeat I can take solace from the fact my new trainee bowler only went for 16 in his opening spell

[Ironside]

just woke up

shocked to see us restricting them to
End of Over 47: 244-6, runrate=5.19 anotehr 3 overs left i will be very happy with 270

i am on TIE so dont expect to make the score but the NRR might count for relegation so the idea is to batt out the 50 overs

[Bongo]

I've hit 215 on a dusty pitch.

should be enough to keep my NRR positive at least.

[Sheriff Fatman]

I was pleasantly surprised to find after 12 overs that my opponent's were 47-1, and scoring at less than 4 an over.

Sadly it didn't last....

End of Over 50: 347-2, runrate=6.94
Pearce   10-0-89-1
Johnson*   73 (59 balls)
Gilroy   178 (123 balls)

Easy target for my boys I think on a dusty pitch. 

[Ironside]

what an over by my trainee

49.5 W Tillen to Yeadon
    Tries to force onto the off side, but the ball moves into him and it's nicked onto middle stump.
49.4 W Tillen to Du plessis
    He's behind you!!! No seriously, thin edge from Du plessis and Sayce celebrates one of the easiest catches he'll take all season.
49.3 4 Tillen to Du plessis
    With a flick of the wrists worthy of the sub-continent, Du plessis finds the gap for four.
49.2 W Tillen to Hackett
    I think everybody heard that nick to Sayce. Hackett didn't even wait around for the umpire to raise his finger.
49.1 W Tillen to Clitheroe
    Advanced, picked up straight to Facey at mid on for an easy catch


giving hiom a 5for and on TIE we dismissed his whole team (ok only 1 ball to spare)

[Bazzaboy]

Gilroy   178 (123 balls)

Not a bad innings!!!

[Sheriff Fatman]

Gilroy   178 (123 balls)

Not a bad innings!!!

Dull as dishwater.  Every ball flying over the boundary.  Not one classic 'forward defensive' shot.  Geoffrey Boycott would be in tears.

[Ironside]

i am 3 wickets down after 4 overs all 3 wickets to bent

i was hoping to see him off before i opened up with my middle order

guess i might be struggling to see off 10 overs now

[Sheriff Fatman]

Lungile is a prime example of what I have to work with....

3.4    W   Montgomery to Lungile
        It's fast, it's full, it's straight, and the umpire says it's out lbw.
3.3    1   Montgomery to Wonnacott
        They think about a single... yes, no, yes, no, yes (eventually).
3.2    1   Montgomery to Lungile
        Lungile could have had two there, but he's staying at the non-striker's end, well away from Montgomery's turbo-charged deliveries!

[Ironside]

another wickets gone

i now have my best 2 batsmen in

both on attacking as i wasnt expecting them in till around 15 overs
