Introducing the English League Cup

20.6 W Baldwin to Katich : The scorecard will read LBW to Baldwin but that wicket should really be credited to the pitch. Jagging back off a crack and not rising above ankle height. Katich could do nothing about it.

End of over 21 (5 runs) - wolfberries(89-5). 117 runs required from 29 overs. RR 4.24 RRR 4.03

Baldwin is currently my best bowler, but with two rfs's in the lineup the plan was to tuck them out of harms way if possible. A wicket is gravy...

[Atko]

23.4 W Calver to Martel : Gone! Edged onto the stumps and bowled. Terrible shot by Martel there. Calver is ecstatic with that wicket!

End of over 24 (3 runs) - wolfberries(99-6). 107 runs required from 26 overs. RR 4.12 RRR 4.12

Well, it's definitely ours to lose now. Neither side making use of a batting track - humid, I know, but as the commentary says - The weather for the match is expected to be Humid and the groundsmen have prepared a Hard pitch. Conditions look good for the batsmen. - I'd have thunk 250+ at least.

Anyhow, Speed back into the attack after drinks - get stuck in fella!

Done and dusted with Baldwin and Speed polishing off the tail -

The Raging Speed Horns won by 86 runs

Next up - Danger Hotspurs or Trevor Francis Tracksuit - current state of play suggests it might be the latter.

Here endeth the commentary

[wolfberries]

Well done on your win, fully deserved but may I just say they are f##king ridiculous scores for a hard wicket

And that ends the experiment of bowling first!

[Atko]

Cheers fella, and yeah, somewhat dubious scoring to say the least.

Also, I was looking at the wrong section of the draw - next opponent is Hay Spitfires.

Bring it on! (as those American chaps are wont to say)

Nope, wrong twice - the Danger Boys have Yorkshire Tykes.... whom I just played yesterday...... you will have to wait for the semis.....

[Atko]
