End of over 20 (8 runs) - wolfberries(135-5) RR 6.75

Very happy with this total in these conditions, not sure we can defend it but at least it gives us a chance.

big time reality check here, 60-5 off 12 ... have to hope we somehow make it to 100 and then our bowlers have a blinder, but realistically I think this is match over already

T20 my man! Anything can happen!

haha yeah you never know, we did manage to get to 100! 102-8 from our 20, now over to the bowlers

[wolfberries]

0.3 4 Peden to Singh : Too full and drifting onto the pads, Singh helps it on its way with a flick to fine leg.
0.3 nb3 Peden to Johannisen : Johannisen opens the face and runs it down to fine leg for 3
0.2 3 Peden to Singh : Dragged down by Peden, Singh waits on the back foot and punches it away for 3.
0.1 2 Peden to Singh : Chipped over the off side ring for 2.

OK then

E. Peden (rf) 1-0-17-0, S. Johannisen 4 (3b), A. Singh 12 (4b)
End of over 1 (17 runs) - Castle Rock CC(17-0). 119 runs required from 19 overs. RR 17.00 RRR 6.26

A. McCutchin (rf) 4-0-19-2, K. Trott 14 (16b), C. John 0 (0b)
End of over 20 (6 runs) - Bowled As Love(119-6) RR 5.95

Uneven pitch so that's ok from my bowlers but at the same time it gives Bowled As Love a chance too. 2 wickets in the final over makes McCutchin's figures look very good but it was Ten Dam who impressed me the most with 2-15.

D. Thiongo (rm) 1-0-7-1, J. Bass 0 (0b), P. Solomon 8 (6b)
End of over 5 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(27-2). 93 runs required from 15 overs. RR 5.40 RRR 6.20

This feels like it's going to be the usual Ruff Royals batting disaster.

[wolfberries]

Yep

D. Thiongo (rm) 3-0-16-1, P. Solomon 27 (27b), J. Bass 31 (35b)
End of over 14 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(79-2). 41 runs required from 6 overs. RR 5.64 RRR 6.83

Wickets in hand but that RRR is going up fast. Here comes the tumble of wickets.

[spark]

Ruff Royals won by 6 wickets.

Ruff Royals Bowled As Love
Batting - Top Order 14,030 13,814
Batting - Middle Order 10,227 9,288
Batting - Tail 4,419 5,075
Bowling - Seam 12,180 (16) 14,323 (16)
Bowling - Spin 13,633 (4) 14,046 (4)
Fielding/Keeping 16,486 13,844
Overall 222,096 220,503

I'm glad we won thanks to a very nice 49 not out from Solomon. Those ratings aren't looking too good considering I played my best batters and that might not be the case for the rest of the season. Then again I'm not really sure what I'm aiming for this season so I guess it's ok if we're not aiming to promote.
