M. Greenwood (rf) 8-0-44-0, S. Clouston 14 (13b), R. Schneider 38 (32b)
End of over 40 (10 runs) - Ruff Royals(177-6) RR 4.42

That might not be enough on a slow pitch so it's surely not enough on an uneven pitch. Nice innings by Schneider though and his best so far. Gera did alright to get 43 although he did do it quite slowly.

S. Clouston (rf) 1-0-4-1, A. Otieno 1 (5b), M. Nunez 0 (0b)
End of over 2 (4 runs) - The Wrath of the Eggletons(7-1). 171 runs required from 38 overs. RR 3.50 RRR 4.50

At least we've got an early wicket.

S. Clouston (rf) 5-0-17-1, A. Breese 4 (3b), A. Otieno 31 (53b)
End of over 21 (1 run) - The Wrath of the Eggletons(83-3). 95 runs required from 19 overs. RR 3.95 RRR 5.00

The bowling's not been disasterous but I still can't see us winning. Schneider dropped Breese which is the only blot on his copybook so far really.

I'm really beginning to annoy myself by forgetting to change my toss decision.

End of over 26 (8 runs) - Relegation reprobates(94-4) RR 3.62

Bowlers have done okay despite myself. A drop and a missed runout by Issa and things could have been better. These two are starting to build a partnership so we need to stop that and get the rest of the team out cheaply.

C. Drebbel (lm) 8.5-1-31-2, J. Walkley 14 (16b)

Not sure we will be able to defend that.

Won the toss and having a bat on green/humid against a young Bowled As Love side. Was looking a bit shaky at 4-98, but our BH came through with 95 off 84 balls, to give us 285/10 in our 50. Not the best performance against a poor bowling attack, but hopefully it'll be enough.

End of over 43 (maiden) - Relegation reprobates(148-10) RR 3.44

I'm very happy with the bowling performance. Diaz finished with 4-30.

End of over 10 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(43-0). 106 runs required from 40 overs. RR 4.30 RRR 2.65

A solid start by the batsmen.

It's looking pretty good. I'd be very annoyed if we lost from here.

Avila just misses out on his 50 and ended up 49 not out.

Big match next week as we take on Ffoh who can rate 240k+.

Big match next week as we take on Ffoh who can rate 240k+.

For some reason, I thought I was still in division 2. So, as my goal is just survival, next week isn't really a big game but it would still be nice to win.

A comfortable win as we bowled them out for 68. Rush took 3-7 and Bruce 3-12. We then quickly chased that total down with 9.1 overs remaining.
