chrisobee Posted 9 September, 2009 Share Posted 9 September, 2009 Crucial game for us. We were put in and after recovering well from 119/4 to 280 have now lost 3 quick wickets and are 287/7. Pothas and Adams both made very good 90's but both out very quickly. This is a game we must win so hopefully we can up to about 350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 9 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 9 September, 2009 Just noticed Moen Ali who bowls spinners has 2/12 so might be something there for Tahir and Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 10 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2009 Now 378/9, Tomlinson just out for 23, Cork 43*. Put on 56 for the 9th wicket, just hoping we can sneak up to 400 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctoroncall Posted 10 September, 2009 Share Posted 10 September, 2009 When do all the bonus points kick in or is it done at the 100 overs stage... it's been a while since I last looked at the scoring system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 10 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2009 Shame, 383 all out. However, Moen Ali took 4/29 so hopefully Tahir can weave his magic, Worcs are not the strongest batting team in the world, famous last words though probably!

chrisobee Posted 10 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2009 When do all the bonus points kick in or is it done at the 100 overs stage... it's been a while since I last looked at the scoring system! Good question ! I lost track of the bonus points system years ago ! Where is Steve Grant when you need him! I do know that last night Hants had enough bonus points to take them above Sussex by one point, current table one point behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 10 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2009 (edited) Tahir on. One ball, one wicket. I was wondering when he was going to bowl ! Must be something in the pitch for all the bowlers. Currently 134/6 needing another 100 to avoid the follow on. That after being 70/0 as well.

Lets B Avenue Posted 10 September, 2009 Share Posted 10 September, 2009 159 all out. Also keep an eye on Lancashire. Being taken apart by Trescothick atm. 23 points for us and we will be level and with a game in hand. Damn! He's out for102 but Somerset are 200-1.

chrisobee Posted 10 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2009 58-4 Moore c Lumb b Tomlinson 28 Just what we needed after a mini recovery. I'm not sure what time they'll finish as I think tea was taken after 3.10 I imagine as more overs needed to be bowled. Still I'm very glad the day did not end at 5.30 as scheduled!
