Don't **** the bolt just yet -- San's gone, and there's a Bunn in the oven!
Bunn seems to be quite the numpty, my numpty bowler's only got one over left, and they need 58 from 72 balls with 5 wickets remaining. It all depends on whether Singh can keep the strike.

Yipes. Proper squeaky bum time. Liebenberg goes as the inevitable pre-death overs wicket, and my last two batsmen of any description now need 6 an over in the last 10, with my opponent's (completely knackered) all-rounder coming back on. Nnngh...

And John strikes again! Two in two balls, leaving them 156/7 at the 40 over mark. 10 overs, 55 runs required, 3 wickets.
UPDATE: And there's Brooker! 159/8 from 41 loads the dice in my favour. Surely, surely...

Downer gunning it today, so far dismissed a sensational, two wonderfuls and a quality. Exceptional bat still in, but the rest shouldn't put up too much resistance.

Harewood meanwhile getting carted for sixes as per usual.

My opponent's no. 10 seems to be a true filler -- BTR 2,550, and (until today) he'd not scored a single league run this season, or bowled a ball.
Somehow, he's managed to last 9 balls -- one four followed by 8 dot balls. Run-a-ball required now.

FINALLY, A WIN!
My first league win of the season, and somehow my team actually performed, rather than lying down and rolling over like they have for the rest of this season. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to escape certain relegation.

The Heath CC: 352/2 (50) Grant 146 (129), Sutton 101 (102), Thorpe 52* (46)
all stars 2k8: 201/10 (42.4) Woods 5/35 (6.4), Davies 2/46 (10)
The Heath CC win by 151 runs
Great performance from Grant and Sutton, who put on 231 in quick time for the 1st wicket, and nice stuff from Thorpe as well who hit two 4's in the last over to get his first 50.
Bowling was solid enough, but fairly unimpressive until Woods came back and wrapped up the tail with 4 wickets in 7 balls to get his first 5 wicket haul.

Augh! This is too tense; 11 runs off 3 overs required, just lost a wicket (scratch that, two now) and into the tail. Argh!

Well, <expletive> a <expletive>ing <expletive>, I cannot believe it. from 233-9 (49o) chasing 234-7, the last over went like this:

49.6 [b]W[/b] Tucker to Pead
[COLOR="Red"]Tucker bowled that one just short of a length and outside off stump. Pead spars and a thin but oh-so-audible nick is heard all over the ground. Pead doesn't wait for the decision as a jubilant Verde hurls the ball to the heavens![/COLOR]
49.5 . Tucker to Pead
Angled to Connelly at backward point, who collects the ball and aims a rather pointless hurl at the stumps.
49.4 . Tucker to Pead
Farmer has saved his team four runs there. He flung himself to his left with astounding agility and then was back on his feet immediately. Quality fielding!
49.3 . Tucker to Pead
Defends to the off.
49.2 . Tucker to Pead
Slower delivery, wide of off, went for the shot, beats the bat.
49.1 . Tucker to Pead
Just wide of off stump, and left well alone by Pead. A clean take behind the stumps by Verde.

Hislop out for the first time since joining the club, Penford with a good score on debut. Top four all made scores, Jan unlucky to get out on 96.
Confident we'll win 'cause I think this lot rely on their bowling more than their batting, but we'll see.

BABY IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER!
IV.11 has once again been thrown wide open by a result that not even Gurs' Captain Neale Patel had foreseen. In a week which saw fans protesting over the sale of Bridges M and Qureshi, (and more importantly Vayro's failure to sign replacements in time for today's effective league decider), which even sparked paper speculation that captain Patel was prepared to quit over Vayro's lack of ambition, The Gurs defied the odds in order to set up a grandstand climax to the season.
Patel: "It's nuts, not even the script writers on 'Dream Team' (Sky1 football-based soap opera) could have made up a week like this. We travelled up here with fifteen players, because so many of us were on the transfer list, and we didn't know until ten o'clock whether there'd be a new signing tearing it up down the motorway to play today! You just can't prepare for a match under those conditions, especially not a match like this. It just shows the depth of talent we have in this side - Not just talent, but real balls!"
At ten thirty the massed ranks of the travelling fans were still mobbing the touts for tickets to be part of what transpired to be a IV.11 record crowd of over thirty-two thousand. Doubtless they were buoyed by the urban legend that, in order to get a ticket for his beloved Swansea City's FA Cup tie against West Ham United, Chairman Vayro once fained terminal cancer, even going so far as to shave his head in order to fake chemotherapy…Though nobody knows if that's true!
Anyway, many Gurs fans were still outside the ground when, in the second over Rem/Sup LM Bewers drew a false shot from Strong Who's Your Daddy opener O'Connor, to have him caught behind for just 2. They'd barely even had time to take their seats when he struck again, this time caressing the top of Off with a delivery which moved away with the arm and came back with the seam, to bowl the other Strong opener, Maynard, for 22.
But even as Vayro lit up a trade-mark cigar and leaned back in his chair to enjoy the carnage, two environmental Health officers in the shape of Wond Bat Anderson and Qual Wikus had other ideas. Over the next thirty two overs they issued Vayro with a 181 run Smoking Ban Fixed Penalty notice, making sure that the only things smoking were their bats, and transforming The Daddys' fortunes to leave them with the upper hand at 223/2 at the forty over mark.
But it's Bewers who's fast earning the nickname of 'The Extinguisher!' as he returned for a second spell to stub out Anderson (130/115) and Wikus (105/119), courtesy of acrobatic catches from Mohammed and Sup Keeper Noon respectively. But from 252/4 after 44, with a Strong and a Sup at the crease, Who's Your Daddy will be bitterly disappointed that they could only muster another 34 runs, as Sup/Resp RM Wilde backed up last week's encouraging effort, by running amuck through the tail today. After 49.4 overs, Wilde had two deliveries for a shot at a maiden fiverfer, and would surely have got it, had not No.11 Jameson embarked upon a run which Christopher Reeve would have considered sluggish. In slow motion Wilde had to watch as Bent threw the stumps down with Jameson at least ten yards short of his ground. Yet Wilde's 9.5/1/55/4 was nevertheless a fine effort on a Hard and Fast pitch, as was Bewer's 10/0/52/4. Sup/Resp LFM Carlton stepped up to fill the containing vacancy left by Bridges M, turning in 10/1/42/0, but Resp/Feeb RFM Bent would probably rather forget his recall to the side, (0/64), his blushes only saved by Strong/Prof LHS Cash, whose 0/70 were his worst analysis in the Maroon of The Gurs.
Despite the hefty required rate, in response Rem/Sup Staveley and Exc/Strong Greening never looked in trouble. After a cautious start which saw off Wond RFM Anderson and Qual RFM Lauren, they stepped it up against No.3 Sup LFM Jameson and No.4 Prof RHS Boffy, hitting the rate by the twentieth over and never looking back. Staveley posted his first century of the season with 130 (137), and Greening, for the second week, battled Prof form and Invigorated fitness to notch up his 6th three figure score of the campaign, 108 (122). The Fact that both were dismissed in the final overs cost them dear in terms of the league averages, but couldn't have mattered less to the course of the match, as Resp/Sup Cash with 20* and Sup/Rem Noon, 17*, saw the Gurs home with two and a half overs to spare.
The Daddys and The Gurs are locked together at the top of the table with 28 points, eight clear of the pack, but with an NRR advantage of nearly 6.00, The Gurs need to be far more attacking against weaker opposition in their six remaining fixtures.

Managed to scrape a win thanks almost entirely to Watkins and Downer.
NorCricket United 150/10 (36.5)
Downer 4-26 (10), Whitehorne 3-10 (5), Harewood 2-48 (8.5)
Asterix XI 154/5 (32.1)
Watkins 93* (92), Richardson 32 (28), Osman 14* (38)
Was struggling at 108/5, but 17yo prof Osman managed to hang around for a bit. Would've been a bit of a disaster had Watkins gone cheaply.
Two points behind the leaders but ahead on NRR, will be in a position to take the title if I win next week. If I don't I'm resigned to another mid-table season.
