End of over 4 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(32-3). 91 runs required from 16 overs. RR 8.00 RRR 5.69

Well, it looks like we're going to mess up what should have been a relatively straightforward chase.

End of over 14 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(109-5). 14 runs required from 6 overs. RR 7.79 RRR 2.33

Almost there but they are in the allrounders.

Bathaloner doing great against Inchigeela too especially Janmaas who has 80 not out from 44 balls. That game could still go either way though.

We just made it over the line and I think that means we'll promote because we've got quite a big NRR advantage.

A valiant effort by Bathaloner who were already relegated but put up a great fight against Inchigeela. They managed to come away with a tie despite being heavily outrated.

Thanks! With the ratings I was getting I really should have made it so glad that it happened despite a bit of a wobble.

We're batting first in a game that doesn't matter to me but does matter to Castle Rock. I've brought in one player that doesn't usually play but has been a bit unlucky to miss out. Otherwise, it's a full strength team because I still want them to get experience.

R. Ryan (rm) 3-0-17-0, J. House 41 (65b), W. Mills 39 (44b)
End of over 18 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(86-0) RR 4.78

A good start; House seems to have taken to his recent new position of opener.

End of over 40 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(216-3) RR 5.40

81 for Mills and 47 for House. That's a decent score on a slow so it's time for the bowlers to do their thing now.

We could do with some wickets. We've dropped at least 1 and missed a run out.
