18.1 . Brittain to Akona
Sharp rising delivery whistles past Akona's nose and Dick takes it above his head.

Interesting....

PS. End of Over 19 (1 runs, 4b). Wideboys CC: 68-1, runrate=3.58
Brittain 10-1-32-1
Akona* 25 (50 balls)
Usman 4 (11 balls)

Looks like i've managed to struggle to 40-3 somehow. Maybe he only has 2 decent bowlers and put them on first...

End of Over 22 (Maiden). the drongos: 9-5, runrate=0.41

I'll take that. Bowling first, quite clearly.

28 overs in. They are 31-5.

Of those overs, 22 have been maidens...

How exciting for the fans!

A similar story for the travelling Pboranjing fans:


End of Over 33 (Maiden). the drongos: 21-9, runrate=0.64

Opposition are now 38-6 :)

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 35 (7 runs). Wideboys CC: 141-2, runrate=4.03
Brittain 18-1-69-2
Akona* 41 (95 balls)
Burton 21 (31 balls)
Last Wicket: Usman b. Brittain 29 (FOW: 101/2)

Usman does not like FC it seems, silly sensational batter :(

02/10/2007 Played a match and received £83710 in gate receipts

Woohoo, 2 more days like that and I will be rolling it in.

End of Over 36 (1 runs). Wolves: 92-1, runrate=2.56
Evanson 9-2-14-0
Binns* 39 (108 balls)
Stratford 42 (94 balls)

Last Wicket: Wilson c. Potter b. Macdonald 3 (FOW: 6/1)

Going wellish, set 600 as a dec target, wont get there today, 300 at days end will be ok, will look to get the 600 and try to bowl them out twice, probably draw this one, but they beat Pid-ed last match, so are a decent team.

I reckon it is going to get quite stupid if the gate money is this high. But I suppose the point is that we should be trying to get two full teams together

99-7 here. which will be 100 all out if recent history is anything to go by.

on that basis, FC should definitely take precedence over one-day. shame i'm losing my 2nd successive FC match then.

6 straight overs without them hitting a ball...

Do you mean run, or is the commentary that specific?

I'm not fairing terribly well, thought i was on for some batting points but yet again my top batsman fall to pieces.

Currently End of Over 48 (8 runs). Wideboys CC: 178-5, runrate=3.71
Munroe 3-0-13-1
Angus* 4 (6 balls)
Haines 4 (5 balls)

Haines is a bowler :(

The commentary said things like they swiped at it and missed and the wicketk' was busy getting to that fumbled stroke etc...

They have finally got a bloke in that can hit though! He got 9 off an over, might get exciting yet!
