Massive first hour for us coming up, if we can skittle them out for under 180, we could push for a result here. Win puts us in a strong position for survival.

..........Eskinazi bowled .........16-2..........

 

[Humblebee]

A good morning's work overall.

Does anyone know if Toby was injured while bowling yesterday, as he didn't finish an over? Ollie finished it for him.

Let the squeaky bum time commence. Although all innings have gotten lower each time so in theory we should be ok. He says.

I predict two down by the close

 

[GP200]

..........Come on the 'Sex.............

 

[Humblebee]

I predict two down by the close

That's the only consolation - we get to bowl at them tonight.

 

[GP200]

...........Stirling is fielding,don't think Toby is out there..........

 

[Nada Bee]

That's the only consolation - we get to bowl at them tonight.

Yes. 0 down at the close is unthinankle

Toby went off last night and Ollie had to finish his overs. I don’t think he bowled this morning either. Luckily the way the sessions have worked we may be able to get 30 overs out of Finn and Murtagh

 

[GP200]

That's the only consolation - we get to bowl at them tonight.

.........off for bad light............

 

[Nada Bee]

Off again for bad light
