Playing top of the table vs a team with a much better squad than my own who up until two weeks ago was unbeaten. Two weeks ago he lost to the team in 2nd (who has the best squad in league but has only just figured out the declaration bit!) and last week he surprisingly lost a close game against a team who were lucky to scrape a draw with me earlier in the season.
Closer inspection saw that his squad of 14 players is struggling now with PFL so with an entire squad of sublimes to choose from i chose my "a"-team in the hope that the PFL issue would even us up.......
The players are off the field for the change of innings.
End of Over 79 (7 runs). Matts Monkeys: 402-1, runrate=5.09
Lead by 198 runs. (Canvey CCC 204-10)
Wilson 19-0-121-0
Tortoishell* 12 (17 balls)
Abel 200 (257 balls)
Last Wicket: Kirkland b. Robert 182 (FOW: 354/1)
78.6 4 Wilson to Abel
Slower delivery and he manages to steer it past fine leg for a boundary.
A double century. Very good innings this.
Was disappointed to lose Kirkland towards the end, my two openers have scored nearly 1000 runs in the last two weeks and this was their third 250+ partnership in 4 games. Considering they are the only two players who have survived from the initial squad that i was given when i joined and neither has brilliant personal stats their contributions have been priceless

hopefully he can see out the end of today and i can get a third days gate receipts!!
