WICKET!!

Father Ted Crilly keeps walking in a circle back to the pavilion

FTC bowled Ohmy Gawd 0



M B Gold sweating on 49no

Players are now up to 216-7 - leading by 245

FIFTY

MB Gold hits a resplendent drive through the covers to reach 53 not out, as the Players move on to 220-7

A small ripple from the crowd honours the Scotchlander who doesn't like cricket bats as a game.

Please with my batting so far.

The one and only time I ever played the real game I scored 3 and got hit in the inside of the thigh just below the scrote bag and Jesus fuking wept did that hurt.

WICKET!!

MG Gold goes down in a blaze of glory

MB Gold hit wicket bowled Daggerham 72

Howling Mad Murdoch 2no

Players are now up to 241-8- leading by 270

Fannying about.
I take exception to that sir.

That's what Botham reckoned in the TV pundit box

WICKET!!

A pivotal 9th wicket partnership crashed a load more runs onto the total

Howling Mad Murdoch caught and bowled EliotNes 22
OrientInOz 34no

Players have gone up to 295-9- leading by 324
Its looking like too big a hill to climb for the Gentlemen now
Only Adz left to crash a few late order boundaries

WICKET!!
The Players are ALL OUT for 315 and lead the Gentlemen by a colossal 344
That's a mean final innings score to get (even in a real cricket game)



OrientInOz run out 41
Adz Not out 13

Can the Gentlemen respond to this massive second innings score?

Well here goes for the second innings coming up now on Day 3 (after the rest of day 2 rained off)

Huxley and Lucky7 have their protective gear on but are still walloping each other over the head as they take to the field

Fantastic, an astonishing amount of hit wickets in the first innings, they seemed to have learned from that in the second

Total Runs Scored 315

Pretty even share on the wickets but a couple of lovely catches by Huxley to cap off a poor day in the field

On to the Gents second Innings...

FIFTY PARTNERSHIP

As Johhny Rotten once observed; ANGER IS AN ENERGY

Huxley and Lucky7 out of the stalls fast and have built up an unbeaten opening stand of 50 thus far

Huxley has hit 34 runs and Lucky7 has 16

Gents 50-0 - 294 runs behind

WICKET

Just when it looked like the Gents were on the right track, its come crashing down

Huxley run out (trying to trip Lucky7 up) 38

Lucky7 18no

Its 56-1, still 288 runs short of the total

Oh My Word
BigRon has joined Lucky7 at the crease and they are going ballistic

FIFTY

Lucky7 glides past 50 with a 6 taking him to 55no, and BigRon has crashed 18 runs at the other end

The score has rattled up to 111-1

WICKET

A stunning stand of 96 runs comes to an end when BigRon falls lbw to Adz

BigRon lbw bowled Adz 36

Lucky7 78no

Its now 152-2, still 192 runs short of the total

This is getting tense.

CENTURY

Lucky 7 pushes a ball into long on for a 2 and reaches 101no - he has hit 4 sixes and 7 4s on compiling his hundred

Gentlemen are now 191-2
Lucky7 is 101no
Digby Chicken Casear is 16no

They still require 153 runs to win

WICKET

Another productive stand - via a partnership of 67 but the main man is gone

Luvky7 run out 113

Digby Chicken Caesar 32no

Its now 219-3, still 125 runs required

OhMyGawd next to bat

This game is turned on its head
I've just had to check the dice in case the 5 has fallen off

The Gentlemen are smashing this now

They've sauntered past 244-3 and now the run chase down to double figures

Digby Chicken Caesar 47no
OhMyGawd 10no

WICKET

What a partnership that was - 80 runs added
Digby Chicken Caesar caught Celtient bowled Howling Mad Murdoch 69

OhMyGawd 43no



Its now 299-4, just 46 runs now required to win

Thor takes the crease

FIFTY

OhmyGawd passes his 50 in a thus far chanceless innings - he's 51no

Thor 6no

The score has moved on to 313-4
