Not too happy with my bowling...Have changed the orders around a bit to try to wrap this game up tomorrow.

Bowled them out for 83 (Edirisingha 7-12) and am 347-2 in reply. Declaration early tomorrow and a similar second innings bowling performance will see a good early finish

Batting has been spineless here...

My opener carried his bat whilst the rest of the team fell around him like dominos. I guess I should have put more people on defensive and hoped they just blocked stuff out whilst he got runs:

Arma's Army (59.5 overs) 194-10
The Wannabees (50.0 overs, 4 wickets) 149-4

looking good for me

Bowl them out and send them back in and try get it all done by tomorrow evening.

9 off 64 balls is not the greatest strike rate i have ever seen, at least he is trying to keep me in the game

so next time i shred someone bout their runrate can someone shred me, as hart must have heard me talk bout him and decided to go out on me.

I have changed my pitch to a bowlers pitch in order to wrap up this match today. They need to get 500 odd today and hopefully my bowlers will feel more comfortable on a bowlers pitch but the weather (sunny) will probably have an adverse affect, should be a closish match...i underestimated my opponent and had the wrong pitch for day 1 and 2
