End of over 40 (1 run) - Inchigeela Angels(171-6) RR 4.28

They look like they might be getting a challenging total. 4 quick wickets needed and even then it will be tough.

I make Inchigeela Angels the favourite with that total.

Inchigeela Angels won by 50 runs

A disappointing run chase. I think my spin bowlers should have done a better job than they did. Almost all my proper batters got into double figures but only my allrounder Hodges got to a decent score of 43 not out.

I think this is going to be Best's last game despite him still being a wc summary bat; it's time to for others players to step in and get more game time.

Crucial win gets us out of the relegation area going into the second half of the season. A mammoth, unbeaten 148 from my higest rated batter made the difference. If he could just score some runs in T20 matches....

Green pitch and we bowled first. We didn't do brilliantly but we can still do a successful chase.

Best got a reprieve from retirement as I forgot to actually press the retirement button. It'll be his last week though so let's see if he can go out on a high.

P. Massey (lfs) 4-0-17-2, P. Owen 3 (6b), G. Jennings 1 (2b)
End of over 20 (3 runs) - Pedagogs(92-9) RR 4.60

A good effort by the bowlers on a sticky pitch.

We made hard work of the batting at times. McCall made 42 and Liberatore 32. Pedagogs will no doubt be regretting dropping Libertore when he was on 1.
