Well it's a three way battle for 2nd,3rd and 4th, we are 2nd but playing top today who are run away winners of the league.

G. Nandu (lm) 6-0-33-0, D. Reeler 42 (44b), F. Hills 4 (7b)
End of over 20 (2 runs) - wolfberries(122-2) RR 6.10

50/50 at the halfway point of our innings I would say.

S. Clouston (rf) 7-0-34-0, P. Arnold 21 (38b), R. Burdett 19 (47b)
End of over 25 (5 runs) - Bathaloner(94-3) RR 3.76

Sticky pitch so I don't think we're doing that well, especially as I've picked a strong team to try and 100% rule out relegation before the last game of the season.

G. Griffin (rm) 5-0-25-1, D. Ylyett 1 (3b), L. Shurmer 7 (8b)
End of over 34 (1 run) - wolfberries(202-6) RR 5.94

Looks like we are going to be 40 or 50 runs short today!

G. Griffin (rm) 8-0-41-2, D. Ylyett 7 (13b), J. Lord 15 (10b)
End of over 40 (12 runs) - wolfberries(232-7) RR 5.80

Yep at least 50 runs short,we aren't defending this total!

C. Chudasama (rf) 8-1-29-1, P. Arnold 54 (79b), E. Ritchie 2 (5b)
End of over 40 (3 runs) - Bathaloner(157-8) RR 3.92

Not great; the wickets came a bit too late to slow their RR. Ball finished with 4-31 but that's about it for the good news in this match.

[wolfberries]

L. Shurmer (rf) 6-0-46-0, H. Haniff 53 (54b), J. Mason 71 (60b)
End of over 20 (11 runs) - Gold Prospectors X1(138-1). 95 runs required from 20 overs. RR 6.90 RRR 4.75

Getting hammered today!

Should be a tough game today. I could guarantee promotion if I win and other results go my way. I lost the toss and was put into bat; I was going to bat anyway.

J. Curtis (rm) 3-0-10-1, L. Avila 12 (18b), P. Solomon 8 (14b)
End of over 6 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(25-1) RR 4.17

Lost an early wicket so that's not a good start.

[spark]

L. Cullen (lm) 4-0-28-0, B. Kirk 14 (12b), P. Solomon 25 (51b)
End of over 17 (10 runs) - Ruff Royals(77-2) RR 4.53

Crucial period in the match I think. If we can get a 100+ partnership we'll give ourselves a chance but if not then I think we'll struggle.

K. Maxwell (lfs) 3-0-15-0, P. Solomon 38 (69b), B. Kirk 36 (42b)
End of over 25 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(112-2) RR 4.48

We survived the period before the break without losing a wicket but can we do the rare double of surviving a few overs after the break without losing a wicket too?

[wolfberries]

D. Fitzpatrick (lfs) 8-0-45-0, C. Branston 83 (111b), O. Harford 7 (4b)
End of over 36 (7 runs) - wolfberries(202-3) RR 5.61

Decent start so far.

R. Hatton (rfs) 7-0-19-1, F. Best 15 (16b), E. Perry 8 (10b)
End of over 43 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(215-5) RR 5.00

We did survive a few overs after the break without a wicket but then lost 3. Solomon out for 55 and Kirk out for 74. A young batsman and an allrounder are in to try to see us to a good total. We could do with 270+.
