End of over 20 (1 run) - gRhyllidae(104-10) RR 5.20

I would have liked to have got them out for below 100 after we had them at 47-7. We still need to bat well.

You've got this in the bag though.

End of over 20 (16 runs) - wolfberries(117-6) RR 5.85

That just isn't enough.

E. McCosker (rfs) 1-0-12-0, M. Nyoni 21 (18b), B. Ibadulla 18 (14b)
End of over 5 (12 runs) - Bowled As Love(43-0). 75 runs required from 15 overs. RR 8.60 RRR 5.00

Exactly!

End of over 7 (11 runs) - Bowled As Love(59-0). 59 runs required from 13 overs. RR 8.43 RRR 4.54

McCosker really hasn't been performing this season!

Exactly!

You need a huge collapse now.

And mine should be in the bag.

Bowers has just got out for 32 but it was a good opening stand in these conditions.

M. Divin (rfs) 1-0-1-1, P. Solomon 1 (2b), T. Liberatore 25 (22b)
End of over 9 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(60-1). 45 runs required from 11 overs. RR 6.67 RRR 4.09

We need just need to avoid a collapse.

S. Window (rm) 1-1-0-1, M. Nyoni 33 (32b), J. Walton 0 (3b)
End of over 10 (maiden) - Bowled As Love(68-1). 50 runs required from 10 overs. RR 6.80 RRR 5.00

Need a lot more of those overs!

M. Divin (rfs) 2-0-4-2, J. Bass 3 (5b), L. Avila 1 (1b)
End of over 11 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(64-3). 41 runs required from 9 overs. RR 5.82 RRR 4.56

If we lose one more wickets I'll start to get really nervous!

End of over 12 (2 runs) - Bowled As Love(75-3). 43 runs required from 8 overs. RR 6.25 RRR 5.38

Great bowling from youngster Windows but not enough methinks.

A couple of quick wickets now would make it interesting.

L. Stockley (lfs) 3-0-25-0, L. Avila 6 (8b), C. Paton 0 (4b)
End of over 14 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(81-4). 24 runs required from 6 overs. RR 5.79 RRR 4.00

Ok, now I'm nervous because Avila hasn't been having a great season which is why I've moved him lower down the order to see if that works.

Ruff Royals won by 4 wickets.

Got there in the end but we made it a bit closer than I would have liked.

A win is a win though, or so I'm told

Toss: Penn CCC won the toss and elected to bowl.

Couldn't see us winning today even with a full strength side out, so decided to play a couple of the prospects instead of the 20 year olds who won't be promoting to the seniors next season.

Big game today as it's our 6th place team against their 7th.

We lost the toss and were made to bat. I didn't mind losing the toss as I wasn't too sure on whether to bat or bowl. In the end, I decided to bat so it worked out like that anyway.

A. Moroney (rf) 2-0-12-0, R. Norris 9 (13b), I. Santos 12 (12b)
End of over 4 (8 runs) - Ruff Royals(23-0) RR 5.75

Steady start after I moved some of the batting order around. Norris opening for the first time and my best bat, McCall moved down to 4.

Now we've lost Reeler, these two batsmen really are the key for putting on a total.
