End of over 43 (26 runs) - wolfberries(282-3) RR 6.56

We've also recovered quite well...

Methinks my opponent hasn't set any orders...

That's some over on a slow pitch!

End of over 50 (8 runs) - wolfberries(373-4) RR 7.46

I would be upset if we failed to defend this total!

End of over 50 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(280-7) RR 5.60

I wasn't expecting to get this much so I'm happy with that total. I've no idea if my bowlers will be up to defending it though.

88 for Kirk and 72 for Avila was the best my batsmen had to offer. Kirk seems to be in the best scoring form of his career.

End of over 10 (1 run) - Relegation reprobates(41-1). 240 runs required from 40 overs. RR 4.10 RRR 6.00

Was about to say 'good one to win from here' and then we lost Alison.

Four of those wickets for quick Peden, he's coming along nicely.

Excellent spell by Peden in unfavourable conditions.

McCutchin took a wicket not long after that too.

End of over 39 (5 runs) - Relegation reprobates(204-6). 77 runs required from 11 overs. RR 5.23 RRR 7.00

I'd be disappointed to lose from here but it's still possible, especially as my best spinner hasn't done very well so far. The younger spinners have been doing better than my most experienced spinner.

Ruff Royals won by 49 runs.

Relegation reprobates Ruff Royals
Batting - Top Order 14,332 13,266
Batting - Middle Order 11,258 10,344
Batting - Tail 6,491 4,246
Bowling - Seam 13,381 (20) 14,531 (20)
Bowling - Spin 14,001 (30) 11,074 (30)
Fielding/Keeping 16,050 16,023
Overall 238,751 217,536

That's a big win against the odds. It was largely thanks to some excellent batting from Avila and Captain Kirk.

I'm not so happy about Callaway's bowling although he did have one dropped. My 21-year-old spinners, Moses and Hodges, did much better with Moses impressing most with his 3-43.

We're 4 points clear at the top now.

Nicely done mate, I got the pitch and the team and the ratings but obviously not the boot up their backsides.

End of over 10 (4 runs) - Sheffield Firsts(50-3) RR 5.00

Sticky pitch and I was made to bowl first, which is what I was going to do anyway. Promotion is guaranteed so I've picked a weakened team for experience purposes.

Not a terrible first 10 overs.

End of over 17 (12 runs) - Sheffield Firsts(100-3) RR 5.88

I thought we'd struggle to chase 100 on a sticky pitch and with a young side so this looks like it's going to be enough for them.
