3rd vs 4th today in FC, me being 3rd. Nice opening, they were 8 for 2, but it looks like the 3rd wicket will be tricky.

End of Over 19 (3 runs). quatt 2nds: 36-2, runrate=1.89
Abbott 1-0-3-0
Grayston* 13 (45 balls)
Hudson 16 (44 balls)
Last Wicket: Hayter c. Piper b. Littlefair 6 (FOW: 8/2)

End of Over 21 (Maiden). Hoveshire Hawks: 77-2, runrate=3.67
Tench 2-1-2-1
Crane* 44 (66 balls)
Lees 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Mccafferty Run Out 0 (FOW: 77/2)

phew, seemed to be struggling, but 2 wickets in Tench's second over has really helped, 2 22k BTR's in atm, hopefully get them out quickly.

I take out a couple of players to play the league whipping boys and they've taken advantage :(

175-4, runrate=5.30 - all my good batsmen are out but I have a strong tail

I've opted to bowl first to preserve batters' fitness. Going ok:


End of Over 46 (3 runs). One More XI: 102-6, runrate=2.22
Thirlwell 11-5-20-3
Liebenberg* 17 (41 balls)
Tandy 2 (17 balls)

Oh dear.

End of Over 60 (1 runs). quatt 2nds: 209-2, runrate=3.48
Abbott 10-0-54-0
Hudson* 99 (164 balls)
Grayston 99 (172 balls)

201 for the 3rd wicket, so far...

End of Over 63 (Maiden). One More XI: 130-10, runrate=2.06

My turn to bat now. Should pass the 280 mark I set as my declaration target today. That'd give me 6 points and then the fourteen for the win wraps up the league. All I have to do then is win the playoff if I get one, and promotion is on the cards. Thank frick. This has been a pretty dull season.

There is no play-off for first class - straightforward promo - relegation I believe.

Respectability saved by a 6th wicket stand
