How's everyone's match going?
I have a top clash with the top team in my league.
They batted first and scored 338-10, my fast bowler getting a 5 wicket haul because the captain decided he should bowl 40 overs... Luckily he's back to energetic today!
It's a good score for a cracked pitch though and my boys are currently struggling:
End of Over 49 (10 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 109-4, runrate=2.22
Trail by 229 runs.
80 more to avoid the follow on!

same as past few weeks, getting hammered.
bowled out for 100 or so then they get nearly 500 for 1
Not suprising considering he has a 60k bat and a 30k bat
Have saved my better players for key 1 day game friday though

End of Over 73 (3 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 197-10, runrate=2.70
Trail by 141 runs. (Ashes to Ashes 338-10)
Disley* 95 (83 balls)
I just avoided the follow on, shame the tail couldn't stick around a bit longer for Disley to get his ton.
I'm a bit worried that they'll be able to get enough to set a decent total tonight and have me bat all day tomorrow.
Also confused that Disley just went out and tonked whereas Clarke (1 level higher in batting!) struggled.

I'm playing the best side in the league who have 100% record and they made 500-3 dec on Day 1. However Tau is doing a sterling job for me as I try to get a draw and pick up max batting points, despite being 2-2 early on.
End of Over 97 (1 runs). KBOTW: 253-5, runrate=2.61
Trail by 247 runs. (Babs Batting Beauts 500-3 dec)
Toney 13-1-27-0
Capp* 2 (5 balls)
Tau 131 (280 balls)
Last Wicket: Conelly c. Valentine b. Allan 35 (FOW: 247/5)

Their second innings isn't going as well as the first:
End of Over 28 (Maiden, 3lb). Ashes to Ashes: 101-4, runrate=3.61 (1st Inn: 338-10)
Odd really as the weather today is sunny (better for batting) and Hall, who took 5 wickets yesterday, isn't bowling today as he bowled so much yesterday...

Played the Top of Table team.
Managed a far better bowling performance - sadly I only bowled the once.
Beaten in 2 days.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? |

All over. Won by Innings and 200 odd. 7 out of 7.
Got a top of the table clash in the OD on Friday. Both unbeaten. He has a much better team though. Will be GFI.

Fourth vs the best team in the league (me!)
They won toss, batted, got in trouble at 213-7 but made 334 all out.
I'm 462-4 in reply, going to declare at 535 and then see if Ndebele can bowl them out on my slow pitch. The home fans will get value for money for day 3 for a change!
Fourth aren't that bad, so a draw isn't a disaster if I can't get them out.

I finished the day on 301-6, I need 49runs to avoid the follow on and guarantee a draw.

Brought my opening bowler back in and he bowled a nice spell: Hall 6-2-14-1. They've now declared with a lead of 331, with 98 overs left in the day.
If Clarke and Disley stay in I fancy my chances of winning, if they don't I lose!

Draw (sigh) but still just top of the table.
