Despite our batting be the stronger suit today, I can't see us chasing this!

A good bowling performance in the end after we let them get off to a good start on a crumbling pitch. They were going at 8 an over until the 10th over but we started squeezing the RR and bowled them out with 1 ball of their innings to spare. That meant we only needed 113 to win. We got off to a fast start and never looked back, finishing the game with more than 5 overs left.

There were 3 wickets for both Ten Dam and Hodges whilst Callaway was economical with his 2-13 from 4 overs. Brown was our star batsmen and ended up 52 not out from 38 balls.

8 points clear of the relegation zone at this early stage of the season.

Green pitch and we were asked to bat first.

End of over 33 (10 runs) - Ruff Royals(161-4) RR 4.88

We had at least a couple of lucky breaks with missed chances but we're in a good position to push on and get a decent total.

Okay then. I lost the 2 set bats and now we're not in a good position to push on and get a decent total.

We aren't defending that.

End of over 40 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(184-9) RR 4.60

A bad finish means we're probably 20+ light of the total we needed.

R. Schneider (rm) 4-0-14-2, A. Shad 1 (2b), V. Caesar 5 (7b)
End of over 20 (3 runs) - bigsexybarry(100-4). 85 runs required from 20 overs. RR 5.00 RRR 4.25

We've come back into the game a bit but I still think we've given ourselves a little bit too much to do, especially as Chudasama seems determined to mess it up for us by dropping a catch and being very expensive when bowling.
