We can tell you that Boggles won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a little uneven. Should be tough for the batsmen on this partially cloudy and humid day.

End of Over 43: 210-1, runrate=4.88
Chanderpaul 7-0-57-0
Mclean* 49 (61 balls)
Caldwell 104 (129 balls)
Last Wicket: Kepler c. Moodley b. Bardle 50 (FOW: 79/1)

vitstl, hope he loses.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Scaly Piscine CC wins by 10 wickets with 38.5 overs remaining.

Alternative XI Scaly Piscine CC
Top Order: strong exceptional
Middle Order: proficient quality
Lower Order: abysmal woeful
Seam Bowling: quality phenomenal
Spin Bowling: respectable sensational
Fielding: woeful competent

MOTM: Armstrong


Armstrong 33* off 27, Packer 29* off 40, Summers 2-16 plus a run out, Pace 3-17, Patel 2-13, McIntosh 0-36 off 5.

 

[cricketboy29]

Playing Sad Decadent XI aws. Resting three bowlers (Lancaster, Watkins, Ellis) but only needed two anyway.

End of Over 9: 24-10, runrate=2.67
Downer 4-0-16-6
Whitehorne 4-0-7-4

Wasn't expecting much frankly.....but that's really quite terrible.

 

[Dead Badger]

Up against the Cymru Gurgitators, the Beards have posted a total way in excess of their manager's wildest dreams; it may still not be enough to defend against the Gurs' exceptional top order, but it's a damn sight better than the 140ish we managed last season. Platt and Janes the main contributors with 101 and 130* respectively. Top stuff.

End of Over 50: 277-4, runrate=5.54
Jeffery 10-0-64-1
Janes* 130 (125 balls)
Ganfield 7 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Alshaun b. Jeffery 6 (FOW: 241/4)

Lost but at least I made a 100 (Y)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Woods has 4/26 for The Heath against Boggles.

 

[Bobisback]

Woods has 4/26 for The Heath against Boggles.

Could hand me the group really.

 

[Nate]

That can't be a full-strength team.

 

[Bobisback]

That can't be a full-strength team.

Nah, isnt, like 5 guns playing iirc.

[Bobisback]

If i cant beat The Heath CC, which i should do easily, it will nearly give me the group.

PY lost to him today, for those that didnt know. Rested too many players. Wont get that from me though.

 

[Dead Badger]

Well, I did indeed lose to Trev but it was a perfectly respectable loss, unlike last season's mauling. The lads fought well (I would never have thought we'd score 277 on a slow pitch), but in the end a lack of early (or middling, or late) wickets took its toll. Needed an Oleary special, really, but up against a wonderful top order it was never on the cards. Well played, Trev.

Beard XI 277-4 (50.0o): Janes 130*, Platt 101, Wilde 1-45, Bewers 1-49
Cymru Gurgitators 278-2 (48.3o): Greening 138*, Noon 124, Oleary 1-49

2nd place all comes down to how knackered Sriram's players are next week, I reckon; The Gurs have got this group sewn up, for my money.

 

[PY]

Played Heath. I had to rest my players to be honest because need the fitness, but you beat a team with quite a few regulars in so taking nothing away.

I'm quite likely to continue resting players throughout the competition as I would like to stay in the Ranji so need to GFI all my remaining games.

Connells defeated Opening Balance by 15 runs.

Connells 250 ao 47.2 ovs - Middleton 61, Verhoeven 3-40, Groves 3-49
Opening Balance 235 ao 48.2 ovs - Appleyard 95, Moloto 84*, Marsh 4-41, Ireland 3-43

Connells Estates CC Opening Balance
Top Order: strong proficient
Middle Order: proficient strong
Lower Order: woeful abysmal
Seam Bowling: strong proficient
Spin Bowling: strong superb
Fielding: feeble woeful

MOTM - Middleton (not sure why?)

Opening Balance collapsed from 218-3 to 235 ao

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Challenged Lancashire. Can't see much hope in winning away from home, but you never know...
