B. Friend (rfs) 10-0-70-2, S. Hodges 18 (20b), C. Paton 41 (31b)
End of over 50 (11 runs) - Ruff Royals(272-6) RR 5.44

Can't complain about that total (unless it's not enough!). Over to the bowlers to complete the job.

E. Ndlovu (lm) 10-0-72-3, S. Payne 1 (1b), E. Peden 13 (12b)
End of over 50 (5 runs) - wolfberries(284-8) RR 5.68

Neither can I , I think we both should have enough.


Fingers crossed.

284 should be enough, especially if you can get off to a good start with the ball or at least cause them problems with the run rate.

E. Perry (rm) 5-0-24-0, C. Dale 12 (14b), A. Zuhair 21 (34b)
End of over 10 (8 runs) - Ffoh(42-1). 231 runs required from 40 overs. RR 4.20 RRR 5.78

Could do with another wicket or two soon.

[spark]

It's almost over now and it's gone very much in our favour. 3 wickets in a maiden over from Hodges certainly helped; it was a pretty good game for my 22-year-old spin allrounder.

S. Hodges (rfs) 10-2-35-4, B. Friend 0 (2b), S. Nathanielsz 0 (2b)
End of over 37 (4 runs) - Ffoh(140-9). 133 runs required from 13 overs. RR 3.78 RRR 10.23

And I've helped Topmen in the title race too.

[spark]

Ruff Royals won by 128 runs.

A great win for my side and it was largely down to a 50 from Bass and a magnificent 98 for Bowers although there was luck on our side with a few dropped chances.

The negative is that it looks like Gavs Boys could win too (18 runs needed in 7 overs with 2 wickets remaining) so it would pretty much all be for nothing.

[spark]

Match tied by Gavs Boys. The 14 run last wicket stand means that they tie which might be as bad as them winning. We play them next week in a must win game.

We might be able to survive by winning 2 of the last 3 games but I suspect we might need to win all 3.

super strong team we were up against, and no disgrace in a 5 wicket loss. Gave a lot of our backup bowlers a game to boost experience, so overall pretty happy with how we did.

End of over 12 (11 runs) - wolfberries(72-1) RR 6.00

Relegation battle today. it's going to be a tough game.

[spark]

Important game and it's going to be tough especially when you drop a player twice in two balls (first from a reliable fielder, second only capable).

End of over 12 (11 runs) - wolfberries(72-1) RR 6.00

Could definitely do with more wickets.

End of over 20 (9 runs) - wolfberries(118-2) RR 5.90

Not as many as I would have liked but will take it.

Medium pace bowler Lord really is the key for us here.

End of over 20 (9 runs) - wolfberries(118-2) RR 5.90

Not as many as I would have liked but will take it.

Gives my side a chance considering some pretty poor fielding. We didn't want to get Haynes out for some reason.

J. Lord (rm) 3-0-9-1, A. Evans 14 (19b), A. Clarke 0 (1b)
End of over 5 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(17-1). 102 runs required from 15 overs. RR 3.40 RRR 6.80

Lord looks a lot better than all my bowlers; I'm glad he's only got one over left!

[wolfberries]

Lord is easily our stand out player in the squad currently.

S. Holland (rws) 2-0-9-0, A. Clarke 5 (11b), A. Evans 28 (33b)
End of over 9 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(36-1). 83 runs required from 11 overs. RR 4.00 RRR 7.55

Seems quite even at the moment.

End of over 13 (15 runs) - Ruff Royals(85-1). 34 runs required from 7 overs. RR 6.54 RRR 4.86

Well the game is basically over now,lack of wickets has allowed your batsmen to tee off.

Forty nine runs in the last four overs.

[spark]

Evans is continuing a pretty good season. I don't think I've had a player perform so badly for all his previous seasons and then have such a fine season. I think his average was well below 20 before this season (he must have been struggling to have an average in double figures).

S. Holland (rws) 4-0-33-0, A. Clarke 32 (26b), A. Evans 49 (43b)
End of over 13 (15 runs) - Ruff Royals(85-1). 34 runs required from 7 overs. RR 6.54 RRR 4.86

I'd be disappointed to lose from here.
