End of Over 3 (Maiden). Cleveland Heights: 2-1, runrate=0.67
Tuck 2-2-0-1
Kilgallon* 0 (4 balls)
Wadeer 0 (13 balls)
Last Wicket: Stuart c. Lewis b. Tuck 0 (FOW: 1/1)

Solid. Hopefully Shaka will see sense and take Tuck off after 6-7 overs.

Adamc · 25-09-2007, 08:46 AM

Sent a prof and a respectable in to open, instructing them to play very defensively. Glad they listened.

End of Over 4 (1 runs). Asterix XI: 1-0, runrate=0.25
Clough 2-1-1-0
Challis* 1 (11 balls)
Gilligan 0 (13 balls)

Dead Badger · 25-09-2007, 08:47 AM

Huh. I'm now 103-7, my bowler with abys/med batting having made a seventy-two ball 2. That is some Boycott-esque stuff right there. It is also, given the quality of the bowlers he was facing, quite hilarious.

Oops, 104-8.

Edit: 108-9. Nice to see "farming the strike" is as alien a concept to FC as it is to OD.

Scaly piscine · 25-09-2007, 08:58 AM

End of Over 57 (4 runs). Phils hotspurs: 154-4, runrate=2.70
Lead by 94 runs. (Scaly Piscine CC 60-10)
Pace 13-3-37-1
Townsend* 1 (4 balls)
Dunn 107 (174 balls)

Last Wicket: Abraham c. Spencer b. Summers 37 (FOW: 150/4)

Still getting BT-shafted and then some. Meanwhile the 'captain' decides to bowl every single bowler on or longer than the max overs/spell in priority order.

Scaly piscine · 25-09-2007, 09:19 AM

Two BT-specials each:

End of Over 63 (1 runs). Phils hotspurs: 166-10, runrate=2.63
Lead by 106 runs. (Scaly Piscine CC 60-10)
Pace 15-3-46-3
Townsend* 9 (15 balls)

Won't do my BT bank balance or my sunny disposition much good this match. Last 6 went down for 3 runs.

Adamc · 25-09-2007, 09:25 AM

Going along swimmingly in my plan to contrive a three-day match:

End of Over 15 (4 runs). Asterix XI: 28-0, runrate=1.87
Gowshall 8-2-19-0
Challis* 13 (50 balls)
Gilligan 15 (40 balls)

Pull up a seat Fullins. Have a snooze even.

Day One

Brackenhurst - 402/2 dec off 79 overs
Hindle 44 (77)
Burnip 96 (109)
Abbey 116* (150)
Read 129* (141)

RaidersPak - 46/6 off 31 overs
Lake 3/19 (11)
Hindle 1/1 (5)
Holmes 1/6 (6)
Steyn 5 catches

Trying to make it last the three days. Quite liking the FC format.

dontcloseyoureyes · 25-09-2007, 09:51 AM

Got the team you knocked out of the cup in my FC league, Nafe. Should be good for a win.

Jamee999 · 25-09-2007, 10:03 AM

End of Over 42 (10 runs). Xanadu: 163-0, runrate=3.88
Trail by 58 runs. (Jamees 999ers 221-10)
Snodin 1-0-10-0
Odonnell* 93 (141 balls)
Griffin 61 (114 balls)

Adamc · 25-09-2007, 10:06 AM

In tatters now, will have to use some proper batsmen.

End of Over 26 (3 runs). Asterix XI: 37-3, runrate=1.42
Soft 3-2-3-2
Boeta* 3 (7 balls)
Cuss 1 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Sellars b. Soft 0 (FOW: 35/3)

Jamee999 · 25-09-2007, 10:39 AM

Worst Day One.

I get 221, they're about 200 for no loss.

1-9-7-7 · 25-09-2007, 10:58 AM

Forgot to set orders.
Bowled em out for 11 then reached 750 odd

trevor_vayro · 25-09-2007, 11:05 AM

In a similar, but not quite as bad, situation to Jamee. Having been 204/3 at one stage, as predicted, I meekly succumbed for 230. Mohammed provided the glue with 77 from a marathon 190 deliveries, supported by Cash 60* and Akhtar 44.

In reply, Carlton snagged Prof Stot in the first over, caught behind by Cash, who in addition to batting No.5 and bowling No.4, also appears to be mistakenly keeping - I didn't think you could do that? Well apparently you can! And he's still Sub fitness, what a trooper.

However, after that things went a little pair-shaped, as Rem Heath 75*, and Prof Tomkins 66* added an unbroken 164, reaching stumps at 164/1. With any luck I could keep the lead to around 100 with a couple of fluky break-throughs, but more realistically, I'm looking at relying on them being too greedy, batting out most of tomorrow for 400+, and leaving me a day and a bit to bat out for the draw.

But much prefer the FC format, though I guess it's interest does depend on having a close, or at least a realistic scenario

Close of Play:

Essex Eagles: 50/10 (27.4) Woods 4/34 (10), Marrison 3/4 (5.4)
The Heath CC: 225/5 (82) Gardiner 70* (199), Kepler 57 (130)

Good recovery, having been 4/2 and 31/3. Kepler and Gardiner dug in during the afternoon session, and then Gardiner carried on in the evening session with good support from Singh (40) and Talbot (20*). With a decent forecast for tomorrow, we'll hopefully bat on and manage to secure maximum bonus points before having another crack at their batsmen.
