snuck over the line with 2 balls remaining to bounce back from a disappointing defeat last weak. Got a free hit next week, so I'll look to give some of the youth players a game.

Ruff Royals won by 57 runs

31 for Issa and 59 not out for Paton got us to a decent score of 140 on a sticky pitch after being put in to bat. The bowling went very well right from the first ball (a wicket). Moses was the star with 4-18 but everyone took a wicket.

Far easier win than expected today.

Nice 39 run victory.

I need to win today against the team joint 2nd in the league as I'll be losing about 3 players to international duty next week and will be playing a team that are currently 4 points behind me.

We've been put in to bat which I don't mind but we'll need to bat well.

M. Calver (lm) 4-0-31-0, A. Dotson 30 (32b), W. Mills 40 (40b)
End of over 12 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(73-0) RR 6.08

I can't complain about how this is going so far. Great run rate for a slow pitch but we need to continue doing well.

[wolfberries]

Home today in windy and slow conditions, lost the toss and batting first.

Currently 115 for 1 from 27 overs, certainly need to up the RR.

[spark]

It's not gone well after the break with us losing 3 relatively quick wickets.

M. Calver (lm) 6-0-40-1, N. Gera 6 (14b), M. Schmidt 5 (5b)
End of over 27 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(133-4) RR 4.93

We're in need of a partnership but also need to get that run rate over 5.

[spark]

M. Speed (lf) 8-0-51-1, J. Westerveld 6 (6b), N. Gera 56 (56b)
End of over 40 (11 runs) - Ruff Royals(212-7) RR 5.30

An okay but not insurmountable total. 68 for Mills, 56 not out for Gera, and 41 for Dotson were the main contributors with the bat.

[spark]

L. Bruce (rfs) 4-0-18-2, W. Fadington 19 (23b), C. Gatehouse 15 (13b)
End of over 20 (5 runs) - The Raging Speed Horns(89-3). 124 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.45 RRR 6.20

An okay start to the bowling but we did drop Gatehouse so we need to make sure that doesn't cost us dear. Bruce with 2-18 is our best bowler at the moment.

It cost us dear and we dropped Fadington late on too.

Westerveld needs to improve his bowling. He does bowl at a difficult time generally but still he needs to keep it tighter or at the very least take some wickets.

The Raging Speed Horns won by 7 wickets

We're still top but only by NRR and I can't see us winning next week.

[wolfberries]

Match tied yesterday, at least it wasn't a loss.

[wolfberries]

Home today in slow and overcast conditions, list the toss and batting first.

Currently 32 for 1 from 9 overs.

[eagles123]

won the toss and having a bat on overcast/sticky. 85/2 at drinks.

[wolfberries]

Finished up 386 for 5 , will be disappointed if we can't defend that.

[eagles123]

213/7 we got in our 50, opps struggling a bit at 20/4 from 6, but still have their best bat to come.
