Could do with a win to start to cement my place in the league for next season. We lost the toss and were made to bat first.

A. Patterson (rm) 1-0-9-1, F. Bullock 23 (13b), B. Jupp 4 (2b)
End of over 5 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(47-1) RR 9.40

A decent enough run rate for a slow pitch.

It was closer than I would have liked but we got the win so that's all that matters.

Jupp scored 54 and Dickerson 43. The bowlers struggled for wickets except Patterson who took 3-34.

End of over 20 (11 runs) - Gavs Boys(138-8) RR 6.90

Dry pitch and we bowled first. They got a decent score but we started really badly with the ball so I'm happy we recovered somewhat. Massey was excellent taking 3 wickets for 8 runs in his 4 overs.

We just couldn't score quickly enough. That's either the batters fault or the bowlers fault for letting them get too many (specifically the seamers).

End of over 26 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(158-2) RR 6.08

Green pitch. A very good century by Bullock who has been due a decent score. It's looking good so far but we need to keep going as I think I'm playing 2 spinners.

D. Hayne (lm) 8-0-60-1, M. Patterson 3 (4b), C. Schwartz 17 (10b)
End of over 40 (8 runs) - Ruff Royals(267-5) RR 6.67

I'm very happy with that. A personal best for Bullock of 154 from 110 balls.

Our seam attack wasn't good enough today.

Sticky pitch against Topmen and they've chosen to bat first. I think it's going to be a tough game.

S. Clouston (rf) 5-0-12-1, O. McCarthy 8 (23b), S. Hurn 0 (0b)
End of over 10 (2 runs) - Topmen(29-2) RR 2.90

Just picked up that 2nd wicket which we were really in need of.

C. Moses (rws) 5-0-25-1, T. Sithole 5 (4b), M. Carew 21 (33b)
End of over 25 (9 runs) - Topmen(83-5) RR 3.32

We could do with them not getting too many more so it's important we get Carew out very soon.

[eagles123]

Away on Cloudy/Sticky, put in to bat. Done pretty well, 203/7, but with two passable fatigue bowlers in our lineup I'm not too confident!
