Congrats to the Robbhams though.

Would definitely do if it wasn't VC4. But as it is, and I'd have to script the ball-by-ball first, maybe not. I may still do the ball-by-ball bit and post a few overs at a time on here over the course of the day. But an actual live sim might be pushing it.

I wanted to produce a full package of commentary, but VC4 is extremely difficult to do that with. Bear with me.

Wickets:
Code:
1.2 Camps to Scott: OUT, flashing hard, but it was too close to him and he's snapped up by Robbins in the gully!
NG Scott c MJ Robbins b LA Camps 0 (2)
WRRW 14-1 : LA Camps 0.2-0-0-1
Code:
3.1 Camps to Rai: OUT, he's got another one! Rai tried to guide it to third man and it bounced on him. Smartly held in the gully. Great attacking bowling and field placement.
DK Rai c MJ Robbins b LA Camps 17 (9)
WRRW 27-2 : LA Camps 1.1-0-3-2
Code:
4.5 Patrick to Read: OUT, the captain chimes in with a beauty! Full and curving in between bat and pad to dismiss the dangerman.
BS Read b NL Patrick 16 (11)

Code:
6.3 McNamara to Flintoff: OUT, he rocked back and tried to wallop it past point, but only got a bottom edge. Fitzsimmons completed the dismissal with a smart catch at the stumps. Big wicket.

WRRW 57-4 : JP McNamara 0.3-0-5-1
Code:
7.3 Cannon to Morris: OUT, another one down! They're crumbling now! Morris looking to get a move on from the start, and he just found Camps at long-off. Poor shot.
SC Morris c LA Camps b MA Cannon 8 (4)
WRRW 68-5 : MA Cannon 1.3-0-11-1
Code:
8.1 Mitchell to Pollard: OUT, the biggest fish! Mitchell returns and Pollard immediately tried to take him on. He can't quite clear Cannon at midwicket though!
KA Pollard c MA Cannon b MT Mitchell 19 (13)
WRRW 70-6 : MT Mitchell 0.1-0-0-1
Code:
10.2 Mitchell to Richards: OUT, yes-no-maybe? A big mixup and Richards tried to retreat, but he's far short with a direct hit from Dinnen.
DP Richards run out 12 (7)
WRRW 93-7 : MT Mitchell 1.2-0-17-1
Code:
12.3 Camps to Mørk: OUT, Camps and Robbins combine again. Mørk was never in control of the pull shot, and Robbins took a well-judged catch running back from square leg.

WRRW 114-8 : LA Camps 2.3-0-9-3
Code:
18.6 Camps to Smith: OUT, pitched up, attempted drive, thin edge and simple catch behind. Upper Body ecstatic.

Bennett you absolute star. Top order have let us down so far, but that is a total that can be defended if we bowl well.

East Robbham were off to a stuttering start in the chase, and were reduced to 30-4 after 5 overs.
Highlights:
Highlights:
Code:
0.3 Gough to Smith: OUT, perfect start for Rabid Wolves! The captain full and swinging in, and Smith couldn't get his bat down in time. Plumb!
DP Smith lbw b KJ Gough 0 (3)
ERUB 0-1 : KJ Gough 0.3-0-0-1
Code:
2.1 Smith to Hughes: OUT, a beautifully disguised slower ball first up, and Hughes just poked the ball back to the bowler. Smart catch. Big trouble for Upper Body.
PJ Hughes c & b MJ Smith 7 (6)
ERUB 17-2 : MJ Smith 0.1-0-0-1
Code:
3.6 Flintoff to Dinnen: OUT, brilliant fielding by the bowler there. He charged to his left, retrieved the ball and fired down the stumps at the non-striker's end. Dinnen's brief stay is over.
CJ Dinnen run out 10 (5)
ERUB 30-3 : A Flintoff 1.6-0-19-0
Code:
4.1 Smith to Fitzsimmons: OUT, brilliant bowling by Smith! Fitzsimmons tried to play to leg and got a leading edge to the midoff fielder. Rabid Wolves well on top in this fascinating derby.
BC Fitzsimmons c BS Read b MJ Smith 0 (3)

Gun bowling performance from Smith so far. A couple more will make it very difficult for them

Code:
6.2 Bennett to Camps: OUT, they're crumbling! Camps tried to sweep and was brilliantly caught by Rai at short fine leg. Inspired fielding!
LA Camps c DK Rai b SA Bennett 14 (8)
ERUB 44-6 : SA Bennett 0.2-0-4-1
Code:
6.5 Bennett to Cannon: OUT, a terrible shot in the circumstances! It wasn't very short, but he tried to pull it away and was bowled comprehensively.
MA Cannon b SA Bennett 0 (3)
ERUB 44-6 : SA Bennett 0.5-0-4-2
Code:
6.6 Bennett to Mitchell: OUT, another! Huge appeal there and he's given. It looked like it was missing legstump though...
MT Mitchell lbw b SA Bennett 0 (1)
ERUB 44-7 : SA Bennett 0.6-0-4-3
Code:
7.5 Smith to Ritchie: OUT, he's back and he strikes again! A leading edge as he tried to turn the ball to leg. Nicely held at mid-off. Humiliation, this!

And they've lost another...
Code:
13.4 Morris to Robbins: OUT, the BIG ONE! Robbins drags it on and he's crushed. Visibily disappointed as he's the last recognized batsman and makes his way off slowly. Smiles all 'round for the Rabid Wolves.
