Subject: Battrick

and at the close I look good to avenge my loss at the start of the season

End of Over 37 (6 runs). Leeds Apathetical: 175-1, runrate=4.73
Trail by 36 runs. (Dobbers XI 211-10)

you'll win easily and how many days are left in the match

End of Over 110 (3 runs). Colron Boys: 380-7, runrate=3.45
Wheeler 18-2-68-1
Montgomery* 48 (56 balls)
Miller 28 (26 balls)

Last Wicket: Greenacre c. Gothard b. Blackman 6 (FOW: 326/7)

need to declare but forgot to write in when

2 more days

I'd declare soon if I was you - (you can go and set in it in the orders if you haven't spotted that already)

I'm declaring at 400, which should give me a day and a half to bowl them out again

I put out the worst team in the universe to help my guys that have actually played cricket before recover some PFL. Bowling first and have them at 694-2. Might even sneak a draw with no declaration set.

I have another easy week, but I am at home so want to make it last the 3 days. They were 45 all out, I am 480-1 at the end of day 1. I have set my dec target at 1000 so i bat all day tomorrow, then I will use the third day to bowl them out, thus getting 3 days worth of gate money in.

I love FC games :)

good point

*goes to double target*

My opponents have put together a 6th wicket partnership of 281 to get to 385-5. Ridiculous.

I've stuck all my batsmen and all my bowlers onto very defensive. Any other tips to avoid total annihalation ?

Finally !

113.4 W Lamacq to Freedman
A big slash by Freedman gets a thin edge that goes straight through to the keeper who takes the catch easily.

Last Wicket: Freedman c. Cranie b. Lamacq 160 (FOW: 391/7)

Thank **** for that !

154.1 W Webb to Hluphizwe
Edged off the end of the bat and it's Christmas come early for Wilson.

End of Over 154 (Maiden). Altrincham: 565-9, runrate=3.67
Convey 38-10-95-4
Hluphizwe* 6 (82 balls)
Perry 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Macdonald b. Convey 0 (FOW: 565/9)

That took waaay tooooo long.

Now to bat, against his pitiful bowlers, hopefully go at 6+ an over, 70 overs left in the day, 420 ish, a draw seems likely.

End of Over 20 (9 runs). Wolves: 151-1, runrate=7.55
Trail by 414 runs. (Altrincham 565-10)
Evanson 8-0-52-0
Bullock* 60 (59 balls)
Stratford 62 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Wilson c. Potter b. Hluphizwe 28 (FOW: 45/1)

ok then 7.5 an over!

I'm also hoping for a draw, after they got a ridiculous last wicket partnership of about 50 runs. My blokes need to lose less than 20 wickets in 150 overs, as we've just had tea.

End of Over 26 (4 runs). Garboldisham Casuals: 75-0, runrate=2.88
Trail by 371 runs. (Frenetic Sloggers CC 446-10)
Crowe 2-1-4-0
Piper* 30 (81 balls)
Lane 42 (75 balls)

i need to to hope that they declare not long after so that i can bat for a bit and a bit tomorrow to try to win


End of Over 62 (4 runs). champions12: 399-4, runrate=6.44
Trail by 28 runs. (Colron Boys 427-7 dec)
Greenacre 12-0-74-0
Midworth* 50 (37 balls)
Grant 20 (29 balls)

Last Wicket: Mulligan c & b. Miller 140 (FOW: 360/4)

I'd say that is unlikely. Unless they have a batting collapse, you score 200 quick runs, declare, and they have another batting collapse, you're going to draw.

End of Over 36 (10 runs). Wolves: 287-1, runrate=7.97
Trail by 278 runs. (Altrincham 565-10)
Evanson 12-0-81-0
Stratford* 137 (93 balls)
Bullock 120 (106 balls)

Last Wicket: Wilson c. Potter b. Hluphizwe 28 (FOW: 45/1)

I really am flying, another 210 needed until I decleyah, at 8 an over, I may just declare today. And based on their previous second innings declaration totals, I could still edge this one.

End of Over 77 (1 runs). champions12: 477-5, runrate=6.19
Lead by 50 runs. (Colron Boys 427-7 dec)
Montgomery 13-1-47-2
Wheeler* 1 (2 balls)
Midworth 88 (83 balls)

Last Wicket: Grant lbw b. Montgomery 57 (FOW: 476/5)

finally took a wicket just need to get one other out and the bottom order are'nt very good so might get them all out soon

End of Over 50 (10 runs). Wolves: 411-1, runrate=8.22
Trail by 154 runs. (Altrincham 565-10)
Varney 9-0-76-0
Stratford* 200 (131 balls)
Bullock 181 (152 balls)

Last Wicket: Wilson c. Potter b. Hluphizwe 28 (FOW: 45/1)

What's worrying about that score, is that my OD best score is 409, meaning I have just beaten it, in FC mode in 50 overs.
