End of over 11 (maiden) - Ruff Royals(36-0) RR 3.27

I think it's time to take a bit of a risk and up the scoring rate; see if we can get it to 4 an over.

L. Irani (rfm) 4-0-19-0, S. Whitehead 1 (1b), E. McCall 10 (3b)
End of over 16 (11 runs) - Ruff Royals(62-2) RR 3.88

Just as we were starting to score more, we lost both set batsmen. Time to consolidate again and push for reaching a RR of 4 in the last 10 overs.

B. Doherty (rm) 6-0-20-0, M. Scholes 48 (50b), F. Hills 22 (35b)
End of over 20 (4 runs) - wolfberries(97-2) RR 4.85

Happy enough at the halfway point of our innings, just need this partnership to continue for as long as possible.

T. Malan (rfs) 5-1-14-1, S. Whitehead 18 (28b), E. McCall 34 (36b)
End of over 26 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(105-2) RR 4.04

Above 4 an over with 2 wickets lost and just under 15 overs to go. It would be nice if we could get to 200+ although 180 would probably give us a decent chance. I need these 2 to get most of the runs.

T. Steele (lfs) 7-0-18-2, D. Katich 5 (3b), B. Hayne 3 (9b)
End of over 30 (3 runs) - wolfberries(127-4) RR 4.23

Well that's the game over then

F. Wooden (rm) 8-0-34-2, L. Shurmer 20 (16b), D. Ylyett 0 (0b)
End of over 40 (6 runs) - wolfberries(193-7) RR 4.83

Not the worst total but can't see us defending that.

That's pretty good on a slow pitch. Sometimes the youngsters seem to find it easier to bat on slow for some reason or it could be one of those those slow pitches which act more like a hard pitch. Still, I'd say it was 50-50 at the moment.

E. Machage (lm) 8-0-52-0, A. Clarke 58 (45b), E. McCall 88 (71b)
End of over 40 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(222-3) RR 5.55

Excellent innings from McCall and Clarke. I'd like to think we can defend this and we should certainly be favourites from here but we need to bowl well to make sure of the 4 points.

End of over 3 (12 runs) - Penn CCC(26-0). 168 runs required from 37 overs. RR 8.67 RRR 4.54

I just don't learn do I about not putting my quick on aggressive orders

He just got utterly twatted

D. Ylyett (rm) 1-1-0-1, C. Diamond 3 (7b), G. Dorey 0 (1b)
End of over 5 (maiden) - Penn CCC(27-1). 167 runs required from 35 overs. RR 5.40 RRR 4.77

Six runs and a wicket from the three others overs!

Not 50/50 now though

End of over 6 (7 runs) - Camberwell Carrots(27-1). 196 runs required from 34 overs. RR 4.50 RRR 5.76

I would have liked it to have kept it a bit tighter than we have or to have another couple of wickets.

Yeah, I feel it could be time for a couple of wickets too thanks to that bit of run rate pressure.

End of over 20 (5 runs) - Penn CCC(84-4). 110 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.20 RRR 5.50

Very happy so far, just a few quick wickets after the break to really put the pressure on my opponents.

Nice recovery from your bowlers after the first 3 overs. Keep that pressure on.

End of over 20 (6 runs) - Camberwell Carrots(75-2). 148 runs required from 20 overs. RR 3.75 RRR 7.40

We're just missing a couple of wickets that would really put the game beyond them.
