B. Sthalekar (rm) 9.2-0-31-3, A. Ten Dam 11 (28b)
End of over 49 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(155-10) RR 3.16

The tailenders with very little batting ability did better than most of the proper batsmen. Probably short of being defendable even if we bowled extremely well.

G. Gangodawila (rws) 10-0-46-1, E. McGhee 111 (152b), S. Payne 12 (21b)
End of over 50 (8 runs) - wolfberries(199-8) RR 3.98

Brilliant unbeaten ton by opener McGhee gives us a fighting chance.

Next highest score was 19

A. Diaz (rfm) 5-2-10-2, A. Downing 10 (27b), A. Vethanayagam 8 (16b)
End of over 9 (maiden) - Ffoh(22-2). 134 runs required from 41 overs. RR 2.44 RRR 3.27

I'm going to pretend that this decent start by the bowlers means that we've got a chance.

won the toss and had a bat on humid/uneven, got 223/10 in our 50, stand out being our keeper with 95. shame he couldn't get a first ton for the club, unlucky to be run out! in reply opps are struggling, 56/5 from 19. Been a really good performance so far.

C. Moses (rws) 5-0-21-0, A. Downing 41 (77b), A. Vethanayagam 36 (63b)
End of over 25 (10 runs) - Ffoh(85-2). 71 runs required from 25 overs. RR 3.40 RRR 2.84

They've consolidated so we've got no chance now.

[eagles123]

been a great recovery from the opp, this partnership up to 68 now. Really need to get a couple of wickets quickly!!

C. Moses (rws) 8-0-32-1, A. Vethanayagam 42 (75b), B. Friend 1 (4b)
End of over 31 (3 runs) - Ffoh(104-7). 52 runs required from 19 overs. RR 3.35 RRR 2.74

The game is clearly just teasing me and making me think I have a chance of winning but it will surely snatch it away from me at some point.

E. Perry (rm) 9-1-35-0, A. Vethanayagam 45 (83b), B. Friend 14 (21b)
End of over 35 (1 run) - Ffoh(121-7). 35 runs required from 15 overs. RR 3.46 RRR 2.33

Those 14 runs for Friend means I'm back to being pretty sure that Ffoh are going to win but at least it's reasonably close.

L. Cody (rfs) 9-0-30-3, M. Cullen 39 (70b), G. Gangodawila 7 (23b)
End of over 37 (2 runs) - Zippys Rainbow Destroyers(129-6). 71 runs required from 13 overs. RR 3.49 RRR 5.46

Need Cullen out.

Toss: wolfberries won the toss and elected to bat.

Going to be a tough one against Sparks boys, lost one of our best batsmen this week due to aging.
