Battrick FC 19/2

[Nakor]

Them 451/3 dec
Me 40/2

Again a team I thought I would beat - my first run out with my best 11 - all sublime.
Realisation that I am to be relegated - bugger.

[amcgrath1uk]

got them 22-6 in the 2nd innings. almost over and rest time

[divaflava]

Slow-to-steady progress after a scary first few overs which saw my best two batsmen get out.

The players are off the field for lunch.

451-3 batting first.............had them at 67-5 but a revival has seen them post 138-5 at lunch.

[Bazzaboy]

Not looking good.  I'm going to need a very good batting performance in the second innings to salvage something from the game

I won (as expected), but happy to see a player pick up a 5for, and my trainee get 2 caught and bowleds. Looks like he'll be a useful squad player until he's good enough to make the starting XI!

[Bazzaboy]

He generally bats to 400 before declaring so I have a chance of sneaking another bowling point and then I will probably need my batsmen to make 300+ to be able to save the match.

The players are off the field for tea.

Due to declare at 405, so hopefully can avoid losing another wicket. Cracking stuff from Tzaneen, very happy!

UPDATE: they are 83-6 in their second innings. TOP OF THE LEAGUE AGAIN!!!

[Bazzaboy]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Two day innings victory against a recently gone bot opponent!   

Frustratingly, even this early on, I know I'm going to finish 5th in this league and get relegated as top 4 are so much stronger!

Still at least I should be able to keep morale at reasonable level courtesy of the other three.

Got hammered inside 2 days. Was never expecting to win as his team was much stronger, could of done with 3 days being at home though

I'm in the same boat keith!  Won easily, bowled them out for 24 2nd time round. Nice PFL saving for my game on Friday
