129/10, have to take that from 68/6, but still a below par score. Really wasn't expecting anything from today's match anyway

[ddraig]

25 for 4

Hmm, ok, 63/10. Perhaps it won't be that tight

I would be very surprised if it was...

51 for 4, you've got most of my decent batsmen out

[wolfberries]

Lol, at least that's something...

[ddraig]

Although Boag has just remembered he's actually a decent batsman, and doesn't have to hide from the ball

[wolfberries]

Those match ratings are why we were hammered...

[ddraig]

You've got a young team, those ratings aren't bad considering. Josiah Lord looks particularly useful going forward, took out my NT keeper for a duck

T. Julian (rfs) 10-0-53-1, M. Roberson 24 (41b), C. Paton 104 (85b)
End of over 50 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(259-6) RR 5.18

Paton was excellent. Perhaps a rare example of a Finisher actually using his ability. I'm happy with that score considering we were 135-4 and 173-6. It still might not be enough.

[spark]

P. Callaway (rfs) 1-0-4-0, M. Moyle 17 (35b), C. Fraser 19 (33b)
End of over 13 (4 runs) - Relegation reprobates(46-2). 214 runs required from 37 overs. RR 3.54 RRR 5.78

A decent start with my 24-year-old LF who I need to give more game time to. He's spectacular/spectacular so isn't amazing but I'll cross my fingers that he can do an okay job this season.

When they were 185-3 and 213-4 with a 260 total needed to win, I didn't think we had a chance. Some great late bowling from the spinners managed to turn it around for us. Callaway was expensive but took 4 wickets and was a big reason why we got back into the game. Happy with the 4 points although we didn't really deserve it.

Yes, I suppose that's something to take from the game. Lord really is the stand out talent in my squad.

Going to be a close game today mehinks, had to rest one of my best batsmen because he played in the cup yesterday.

J. Sweeney (rfm) 4-0-26-2, S. Holland 65 (40b), C. Martel 10 (10b)

Going well until

End of over 18 (11 runs) - wolfberries(174-7) RR 9.67

Losing two wickets in one over then three in the 18th really isn't helping!

Not sure we have the bowling to defend that.

0.2.Rinaldi to Bertwistle : [dropped] Bertwistle drives upishly into the covers. Hope dives forward, but spills the ball when his elbows hit the deck. A nice change of pace from Rinaldi, but Bertwistle survives.

Game over
