bowled well to restrict opps to 103/10 in their 20, and despite losing regular wickets we did eventually come home with a somewhat unconvincing 4 wicket win.

Today's result is why I hate T20 in RL as well

Ruff Royals won by 6 wickets

C. Rush (lm) 3-0-5-0, T. Pinch 19 (28b), K. Andrayas 12 (22b)
End of over 10 (2 runs) - Captain Speccy's Muppets(40-2) RR 4.00

We decided to bowl first. Decent start but we need to keep it going.

J. Westerveld (rfs) 8-0-42-2, S. Lal 4 (8b), D. Johnsen 13 (12b)
End of over 40 (8 runs) - Captain Speccy's Muppets(179-6) RR 4.47

I think that's a decent effort by their batters considering the conditions. Should be a tough chase.

D. Johnsen (rfs) 6-0-22-0, J. Hicks 49 (54b), W. Mills 38 (56b)
End of over 20 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(98-1). 82 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.90 RRR 4.10

A decent start but it's not been easy and Hicks has been dropped so we've had a bit of luck.

63 for Mills and 91 for Hicks saw us home.

Home today in cloudy and slow conditions, won the toss and batted first.

Lost by four wickets.

top of the table clash today against Camberwell Carrots. Won the toss and having a bat on cloudy/sticky. Currently 19/1 from 7.

Bot bashing today, fingers crossed.

Away in uneven and cloudy conditions, lost the toss and batting first.

Flat pitch which we're making look like a sticky one.

H. Douglas (rfs) 2-0-10-0, E. McCall 34 (48b), C. Paton 9 (2b)
End of over 17 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(82-4) RR 4.82

Medium pacer has picked up 3 wickets. If I could find a way of getting my batsmen to perform I might be alright at this game!

B. Friend (rfs) 3-0-7-0, E. McCall 61 (72b), C. Paton 26 (26b)
End of over 25 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(127-4) RR 5.08

They may be making this flat pitch look uneven now rather than sticky. Still a lot of heavy lifting for these two to do.

was going pretty well at 77/1, now at 118/5 not so much need to try and get as close to 200 as possible, put a competitive score on the board.
