footitt has 10 wickets so far

Leach taking 7fer for me in my match, and giving me a big lead, has just been negated by Jeetan P doing the same for Ntini, but ntini has many more runs than I do.

I'm worried!

If I had Footitt, think I would be home and hosed in my game.

As it is I think I have 14 wickets so far to HTFB's 2, with Middlesex (definitely) and Northants (probably) not bowling again.

Although he does have a lot more runs than me with some power to add.

Could be as tight a finish here the same as the bottom of LVCC1

Dent's 264 versus my two wickets is a slam dunk for you ian.

Unfortunately Dent isn't my player!

If in the end it comes down to two bonus points I'm going to have a right

well, if ntini plays the team that I think he's playing (and I'm only guessing at the order his team based on the last round), then he's had a cracker of a day.

I think that I was in a comfortable position yesterday, but the 7fer from Jeets, combined with ntini's sheer weight of runs has completely reversed the match position, and I need some wickets desperately tomorrow. I think I'm a couple of wickets ahead, but I'm probably around 200 runs behind. I need a lot of wickets from Leach/Gregory/Overton at the very least, and probably another Batty last day at the oval 5fer.

If hope has only taken 2 wickets in his match against ian, then I'm probably screwed if I don't beat ntini, and I can add this to the T20 blast FL and the div 1 CC FL... FL's that I've been the long time leader of, only to be pipped at the post at the end.

Come on hope..... insert some ginger up your bowlers and tell them to get on with it!

it isn't

if I win, I win, if I don't, you do.

I keep thinking about those 10 runs in our second match up. I could have been home and dry before this week even started.

Cooper not Leach currently taking out Warks top order.

I haven't got any bowlers, that's the problem.

I believe my team for this round is as follows:

Harris, JAR
Clarke, R
Patel, JS
Trego, PD
Wright, LJ
Hildreth, JC
Franklin, JEC
Bopara, RS
Rashid, AU
Cooper, TLW
Bailey, TE

Cooper with 5 and Leach 4 second innings wickets.

Pretty sure I've won my game now Matt Dunn has chipped in with some wickets. So all down to the Wobblers v Misfits...

Westley scoring runs and now Azharullah in the wickets, maybe late in the day. Come on Azha a sixfor.

I haven't totted everything up, or checked ntini's actual team with my predicted team.... I don't need to do either to know that I've been thrashed in my final game. After being in reasonable control after day 2, everything has gone ntini's way since.

I can only congratulate Ian on his win and on his excellent management of the FL.

After being in total control (and unbeaten) in the first half of the season, I had a bit of a wobble in the early part of the second half, and although my boys recovered their composure, to win 5 on the spin, I just couldn't shake Ian off, and he did me on the final couple of days of the whole season.

Very Man Utd 1996-esque

well done, my friend.... well done
