Yeah, I think I might have been a bit cocky and just been relying on Manders and Hollis and Abbott to do the job for me.

Tom, you gfied your match ??

 

[Highlander999]

[aussie1st]

Very middle order dependent scorecard.
From 4: 43, 69, 160, 51 rest were 20 or under with a number of ducks by my tail.

Got 367 enough for the 5 point BP and have them 1/29

 

[aussie1st]

Wow my respectable bowler just took a 4 fer out shining my best seamer who took 3.

End of Over 71 (Maiden). Bindura CC : 169-10, runrate=2.38
Trail by 198 runs. (Baggy Blues 367-10)
Overs left today: 49
Sawyer 4-2-10-1

Made them follow on so Fernades is going to take a big PFL hit.

 

[StickyWicket]

They declared at 600/7 and I'm 248/4. I'm going to meekly play out a draw.

[Highlander999]

Oh, this is pleasing. Discussed my tactics for today's match with Syl and it has worked a charm, with Levy getting the top order which was wonderful which meant resting my other main bowlers for Sunday's Cup game has paid off as I bowled him out for 133

They declared at 600/7 and I'm 248/4. I'm going to meekly play out a draw.

Or not. 270/10 and then 208/10


On the bright side I won today's OD very easily; 276/1 in 50 overs.. they were 100 all out.
