Can anyone with membership tell me who ran out Groves in this game-- http://195.149.144.130/nl/matchInfo.asp?matchID=273493?

I'd like to see if it was the fielder I'm playing, Jones.

22.2 W Giles to Groves
Can you believe that throw in from Drench at short square leg? Neither can Groves. Right in, flat and hard, to the top of the stumps and Giles takes off the bails at the bowler's end. They won't be taking on Drench's arm again in a hurry.

well you're in charge now, Webster gone, don't have much left in the batting stakes.

you'll be pleased to know my batting is like that from the top of the order

Oh thanks a lot Dave.

207-3 after 37, nice solid partnership by Abdul Kadir(69*(87)) and Challinor(45*(54)). Would expect to top 300 from here.

Good to see Challinor finally doing something worthwile.

 

[superkingdave]

Challinor starting to go nuts, hits 4,4,2,4,1,.,4,4,1

I like this over

47.6 . Hook to Willmott
Hook gives that one a rip but Willmott judges it well and leaves confidently outside off stump.
47.5 W Hook to Islam
Defensive stroke, the ball beats the bat as it nips back sharply and the bails are in the air.
47.4 W Hook to Atkins
Atkins has charged half way down the ground and taken a big swing at that one but its spun the other way. Blower counts to three before whipping the bails off and Atkins is still out by miles.
47.3 1 Hook to Steadhart
On the front foot, stroked to deep extra cover, wanted the second run, sent back.
47.2 1 Hook to Atkins
He’ll be looking for two here, but a great stop keeps it to a single.
47.1 W Hook to Naidoo
Out! A brilliant ball - pitches well outside the line but jags back far enough to find the stumps. Naidoo shakes his head in disappointment as he heads for the pavilion.

managed to restrict them to 307 when they were 3/240 after 40 overs.

999ers chasing 317 to beat the Bombers.

Scaly Piscine CC scored 298-2, Armstrong batted through with 143* off 149 balls. Drunk XI are currently 14-3 in response - I'll be interested to see how Howlett goes since I don't think I've used them as an opening bowler before. I've given up on Maxwell as a bowler after they went for 90odd in the league.

 

[mikeW]

bloody hell Islam is bowling very well Dave.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Drunk XI 52-7 now, Pace finally has a good game and has 6-25 off his opening 5 over burst.

 

[superkingdave]

bloody hell Islam is bowling very well Dave.

just got hit for 16 in an over though!, now he has broken the opening partnerhsip which was becoming pretty worrying.

He's about my only decent bowler - proficient/remarkable/competent

 

[superkingdave]

now Wilmott strikes aswell 51-2

 

[Jamee999]

My 2 best batsmen - Gowshall and Aldred - are out, so it's reliable Carrington, and Dilhan, who can explode if he needs to.

44-2 after 10.5 chasing 317.

 

[mikeW]

My best 2 batsmen are in, interesting to see how theey go.

 

[Scaly piscine]

And that's the end of the match. Scaly Piscine CC won by 223 runs.
Scaly Piscine CC 298-2
Drunk XI 75-10

Should help with the NRR somewhat.
