if we can win this match we can challange hopfully for the title as well as the OD title which is looking more imininte for us to win it

as the current leders hoplfully (or at the current rate) are looking to draw (they have probely will declar soon and try and bowl them out in two sesions!)

GFI is short for 'go for it!' making GFI-ing 'go for it-ing!' which grammatically speaking, is deeply unsound.

Verbing weirds language, eh?

Verbing weirds language, eh?

That it does. It's all good fun though. I reckon that in order to satisfy my pedantry, we should start calling it G-ingFI, so that when you read it, you hear 'going for it' in your head. Much better.

My batsmen are G-ingFI (it just rolls off the keyboard) now that the unfit change bowlers have come on, and victory is now imminent, which will give the boys a bit of rest before G-ingFI tomorrow against Coatham Sloggers.

And we're done:

The Heath CC: 363/2dec (Grant 139, Bartlett 107, Sutton 72*)
Jacksons Giants: 193 (Westwood 4/46, Hardy 3/41)
Jacksons Giants (following on): 282/5dec (Westwood 2/46, Liddle 2/57)
The Heath CC: 113/0 (Grant 55*, Bartlett 52*)

The Heath CC win by 10 wickets

Undoubtedly helped by Jacksons Giants farcical declaration at the end of the 2nd day, The Heath CC strode to a second comprehensive victory in two weeks against a side who, after an impressive start to the season, have now slid into the relegation places. Impressive performances from Grant and Bartlett at the top of the order, who have formed what is proving to be a formidable opening partnership, were backed up strongly by a second-string bowling attack, with Westwood and Hardy particularly impressive in finishing off the Jacksons Giants first innings on Wednesday morning.

All eyes now turn towards tomorrow's crunch game against Coatham Sloggers. When the two teams met on the opening day of the OD season, The Heath looked as though they were heading for a humiliating defeat as they stumbled to 81/6 chasing a target of 259 to win. However, Talbot and Hennessy joined forces in a brutal 7th wicket partnership of 148 to lift The Heath within touching distance. It wasn't to be though, as they eventually subsided to a 10 run defeat, but that game whetted the appetite for the return fixture, to be played at the HCG tomorrow.

Making veeeerrrrryyyyy slow progress.

My opponents are 201/3 in their second innings (following on), still 91 behind. If they manage to squeeze out a draw, I'll be most displeased. Still, plenty of overs left today and only two wickets away from a pretty poor tail, so it's unlikely.

Fishs XI v Fulltoss

Fishs XI won by an innings and 297 runs

we won, but it was a lot more difficult then the scorecard says,
the victory could have not been without captain Abbott and second line
spin bowler Baholo

Abbott 182
Baholo 35-3 and 18-7 (53-10)

 

[Mahindinho]

That it does. It's all good fun though. I reckon that in order to satisfy my pedantry, we should start calling it G-ingFI, so that when you read it, you hear 'going for it' in your head. Much better.

Surely "G'ing FI" with a space, then?

GingFI and PingIC. You never know, they might catch on...

In my match, Brooker and Gibb ended up blasting out the (pretty rubbish tail) -- think the collapse was 208/3 to 221ao over something like 8 overs.

So, that's a pretty comfortable win. Hopefully I'll carry the good form through to tomorrow's OD game.

New levels of pedantry! Let's take it a bit further. G'ing F I.

I can see why they just call it GFI now.

 

[NZTailender]

Won easily in the end with a torrent of wickets falling in quick fashion. Fletcher punched above his weight with his competent bowling on par with my superbs. Will open the bowling vs a bot as a reward.
