Terrific innings by Hall but Wotton was better, if Hall had found a supporting role from someone like Nayar did for Wotton i would have been in trouble. Thank you WC for the 7 wickets lol

from 14 for 4 they recovered well.

Lol yea lowel.. allen is an awesome bowler... ran thru every batsman but i was hoping folkes and both the ahmeds would be able to handle any type of bowling.. folked failed but the 2 ahmeds did well... still cant believe i pulled off a win tho... Good game!

Ive won my FC match quite clearly, now just giving the boys rest until Fridays big game

Life without Clayden day 2 hasn't been as good. Although he probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Then the death men came in.

End of Over 50: 201-10, runrate=4.02
Borrowdale 9-0-38-3
Durkin* 0 (0 balls)

49.3 W Borrowdale to Brittain
Off stump has just been broken in half. Oh dear that wasn't a ball that Brittain could afford to miss!
49.2 W Borrowdale to Howard
Borrowdale sends down a rank long hop, and Howard promptly slaps it to the man at point.
49.1 W Borrowdale to Toynbee
OUT! Nice bowling from Borrowdale, the away swinger draws Toynbee into the shot and he only manages to edge the ball to Masibulele.

Toynbee* 1 (1 balls)
Durkin 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Dowe c. Masibulele b. Sawyer 15 (FOW: 201/7)
48.6 W Sawyer to Dowe
Good wrong'un from Sawyer, beguiling the batsman and getting the faintest of edges through to Masibulele.
48.5 1 Sawyer to Toynbee
Nice timing but straight to the fielder. The batsmen manage to scamper through for one though.
48.4 W Sawyer to Teague
What an ugly end for Teague, he's wafted at one outside the off stump and paid the penalty.
48.3 W Sawyer to Nash
Nash sends Sawyer's delivery down Germon's gullet at long on. Out.

I had the Predators down to 3-60 but as usual Alan Willie blasted away and hit an unbeaten century and carried his bat again but the west indian connection of Clinton Lisbie & Greg Mbeki set off another bt collapse to get them all out for 243

He has now set his two best bowlers to open and bowl straight through in an attempt to knock over Wotton and destroy my batting but it hasnt work thus far

Nayar fell early but against these bowlers Stanley has shown some real fight for a batsmen who hates opening

Looked like Sawyer was absolutely knacked when his turn came to bat. Probably the first time hes had to bowl all 10 and then open.

I think I've found Crouch orders, scored a hard thought 85. The under used Masi finally gets his chance

Still undefeated in the one day comp
Wotton with another century

Time to start throwing matches one thinks...

This is going to be a tight match. Hopefully Conelly and Bolder can have a big partnership. I've just realised if I win this match I could suddenly go from relegation battle to promotion contender???
