Pretty comfortable for The Raging Speed Horns. Westerveld took 2-18 and was the best of the bowlers but other than that there weren't many positives.

[wolfberries]

As expected, we lost by 7 wickets today.

Shabbir has called tails correctly and has decided to bat. gRhyllidae will start their innings shortly.
The weather for the match is expected to be Cloudy and the groundsmen have prepared a Dry pitch. Conditions look ideal for the spinners.
A crowd of 15,348 has arrived at Egham Town CC CG today for the One Day match between Egham Town CC and gRhyllidae.

That ends the innings of gRhyllidae. Egham Town CC will have a target of 234 to chase.

Bit of a collapse in the batting lineup, but my allrounder Calvino managed to hold up to finish the innings. Think that may be a defendable total.

not sure if my opponent was just rotating or forgot to set a lineup, either way a comfortable 9 wicket win. Shaping up to be a fascinating last couple of weeks.

Quite an easy victory in the end, and somehow managed to rate 240,099, which is about 8k higher than my main team has ever rated before!

I'm very happy with that win against the side top of the league. It makes the title race very interesting albeit from my neutral perspective. More importantly it secures my position in the div 1 for another season.

I thought it was a very good bowling performance on an uneven pitch. Young LF Roberson especially was key early on taking the wickets of 3 of the top 4. All the bowlers were economical including my 2 spinners as we bowled them out in the last over for 162.

We didn't start great with the bat but young seam specialist McCall proved to be a rock and was only out for 75 when we needed just 1 run to win. Issa was the other key batter who finished on 53 not out.
