End of over 40 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(173-9) RR 4.33

I'm not sure about this score. It looked like it was going to be less than this when we were 4 down but it still feels like we might be 30+ light of a good enough total.

Far more than I expected to chase!

End of over 8 (maiden) - Sledgingshire(27-0). 147 runs required from 32 overs. RR 3.38 RRR 4.59

One drop so far. We need wickets or else we won't be able to stop that RRR from decreasing.

End of over 17 (3 runs) - Sledgingshire(58-1). 116 runs required from 23 overs. RR 3.41 RRR 5.04

We got a wicket but if we go into the last 10 overs with the RRR at less than 6 or 7 then I wouldn't fancy our chances of containing them unless we take a load of wickets.

End of over 31 (6 runs) - wolfberries(151-4). 33 runs required from 9 overs. RR 4.87 RRR 3.67

Going well enough at the moment, if we win and a couple of results go our way then promotion is guaranteed.

Overall 122,966 126,967

Sledgingshire won by 6 wickets.

A disappointing result that could relegate us. It was looking quite good at 67-3 at the break but then our usual problem of getting wickets returned.

Oatley made 66 not out after there was a missed runout when he was on 10 and a dropped catch the next ball. Sadly, those 2 chances went to a reasonable fielder and a capable fielder rather than 1 of my 5 reliable fielders.

Still only 4 points from safety but I suspect I'll have to win both of my remaining games to stay up.

Edit: Just noticed that my worst fielder, Gera, has the most catches for my team in YOD league. I wonder if my captain is placing my fielders in the wrong positions.

Home Ruff Royals
Away Gavs Boys
Ground Ruff Royals CG
League One Day 1.1
Date 16 Oct 20 10:00
Crowd 16,869
Weather Sunny
Pitch Slow

It could make the relegation battle interesting if we win this one but if we lose then it's pretty much certain that relegation is guaranteed.

R. Moore (rm) 1-1-0-0, T. Brown 17 (28b), J. Bass 12 (14b)
End of over 12 (maiden) - Ruff Royals(56-2) RR 4.67

The RR isn't too bad but we've lost two wickets already so this is now a crucial partnership.

Not bad at the halfway point of the innings (if we bat out the overs) but we need to keep this partnership going. A nice 50 from Brown.

We are also in Sunny and Slow conditions, lost the toss and bowling.

Opponents are currently 91 for 3 from 25.

End of over 31 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(132-4) RR 4.26

We've lost a couple of wickets after the break which means we are in big trouble as this is the last recognised batting partnership. We can't afford for Brown or Bowers getting out before we have at least 200+ on the scoreboard.

It's not looking good. There's a lot of pressure on Brown to get us to 220+.

End of over 42 (21 runs) - Ruff Royals(192-7) RR 4.57

What an over that is for us. Great stuff by Brown in particular especially considering Goodman had only conceded 15 runs prior to this over. We still need to bat the full overs though.

End of over 46 (13 runs) - Ruff Royals(228-7) RR 4.96

Fifty partnership between these two where Diaz has contributed 0 (I think he was facing when we got a couple of leg byes though). Great innings by Brown.

S. Goodman (rm) 9-1-55-4, T. Brown 142 (132b)
End of over 48 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(240-10) RR 5.00

Some great farming of the strike by Brown who ends up with an impressive 142 not out. The moment Brown decided to trust Diaz by getting a single off the first ball of an over things went wrong. Diaz got out next ball, Ten Dam the ball after, Moses managed to get a single, Brown got another single to leave Moses one ball to see off so Brown could face the next over, but Moses wasn't up to the task. Three wickets in five balls and a bit of revenge for Goodman.

240 isn't too bad a total though so it's down to the bowlers to keep it tight whilst picking up enough wickets.
