I think my unbeaten run is going to come to an end today.
Had the misfortune of being made to bowl first on a flat track, and they're currently 172-2 after 26, with their two best batsmen in. TBH I'll be pretty happy to 'restrict' them to 320 or so, and hope that my top order continue their good form.EDIT: Good job lads, only 367 to win! ![]() EDIT: My openers are making an impressive attempt chasing a near-impossible target. 119-0 after 16 overs, RR of 7.44, RRR of 7.29. Cuss continuing his incredible run with 69* (52) so far. Last edited by Adamc; 08-07-2005 at 12:53 PM. |

I have no decent bowlers in my side, i bat down to 9 with specialist batsmen. 10 and 11 are handy bowlers but the rest of the bowling gets done by part timers.

348-3 chasing 366, very frustrating. Probably could have managed a win if Cuss hadn't got out on 98. His average has now been shot down to 189.33. Still, a few decent knocks from Cuss (98 off 87), Berry (95* off 79), Barrett (71* off 58) and Bridge (53 off 65). Can't really blame the batsmen for this loss; our bowlers were rubbish, even taking into account the flat track. Dropped to #3 with the top three each on four wins and one loss. Hoggy, I'm up for a friendly if you like, my team's Asterix XI. |

Berry managed 95 (114) and now averages 137.33. Gillespie's 63* (46) takes his average to 50.67, and Barrett has scored 188 runs without being dismissed. I sent Canoville up the order as a pinch-hitter but he was run out for a duck. I had most of my batsmen set to 'aggressive' or 'v. aggressive' and luckily got away with it on a good pitch, ended up with 338-3 after being sent in. He's started well though (67-0 after 11) and has some good batsmen so I think it will be close. |
