with pietersen the extra batsmen we all wanted which of the bowlers do you think will miss out?

a wkt for nora with his mystery ball 85 for 4

Just got in, off to work soon but good to see the boys doing ok!!!
Arafat only five runs off 2 overs

oh dear schofield hit for a 6 calm down depressed

114 - 4 off 15 overs.

Schofield hit by Cockbain into the portaloos - says it all!

another six hit off schofield

Cockbain now hits Nannes into the tennis courts!

Gloucs now really putting foot on gas ....

what the hell are we playing at letting schofield bowl another over

If I ever meet Schofield

you have to blame the captain for that daft decision

hang on he's not bowling well done the bbc scorecard

Now it's Arafat's turn to be hit for six by Cockbain into the tennis courts ....

149 for 4, 2 overs to go

so much for keeping them under 150

a 3rd wkt for jade who finishes with the excellent figures of 3 for 27

156 for 5 after 19

shocking bowling from nannes him and arafat have swapped places from last night

169 to win this will be a test on a slow wkt

Gloucs 168 - 6 off their 20 overs.

Churchy reminds us they were 26 - 3 in the fifth over. We just don't seem to learn.

'A fascinating run chase this evening' - Churchy. Can't argue with that although am now off out and won't be around to hear it. Night night, JimBob

We better win this, I'm fed up of letting teams get competetive scores when we seemed to of have them on the ropes!!

Just got home. We let them get 30 too many, I fear....

But I am sure Hyphen, Davies and Roy will soon put the score into perspective....

Hyphen and Davies won't....

50 - 2 from 7 overs. Not very impressive. Roy is being held back....

Going very slowly atm. RR is up to almost 10.

Both Pieterson and de Bruyn scoring at less than one run a ball

Why on earth put Roy behind de Bruyn? At this rate he'll have too much to do.

carrot he might be coming in after wine gums as well

de Bruyn's painful innings comes to an end and Maynard immediately gets a 4.

KP out...

Come on then Le Roi....

76 - 4 - dismal performance -scoring slowly and getting out

Roy is the only hope.....

RRR is now nearly 12. The top order have given these 2 a very tough task.

game over

Roy out. Pretty awful is this.

Dreadful effort with bat and ball.

Schofield playing himself in carefully....

williamson finishes with 2 for 18

Before getting out....

just the 70 needed off 5 overs then

young finishes with 2 for 24

Maynard

that old saying the team looks good on paper

some strange decisions in this match from the captain for my liking de bruyn only bowling 2 overs and Le Roi being wasted at 6

122 all out only Muralitharan went for more than 6 a over

Poor performance - more or less out of contention in this competition....

Good grief! We had this game virtually won and then threw it away.

I know we couldn't do anything about the rain last night but it did mean a win today was vital. With only 1 win out of 4 already looking very difficult to progress in this year's t20 ....

guildford what would mrs bats say

JimBob - Mrs Bat is quite happy that our relationship is purely platonic and centres around nothing more than cricket. Just to reassure her further, I have made her well aware of your longstanding association with Geoff Boycott's nan as revealed in one of your confessions on the original 606 site ....

Thank you anyway for cheering me up a bit after last night's very poor effort. Still

The only thing that makes me about it was Schofield's bowling being hit into the portaloos - says it all!

guildford did you have to bring that up again i was trying my best to put that behind me

The blame definitely lies with a couple of the bowlers and with de Bruyn and Pietersen. Roy has to play in the top 3, one thing we all know is that if any of Hyphen/Davies/Roy are in for 30 balls they will almost certainly be on a score of 40+, probably 50+. Yes they might fail but they won't be slow about it! After Pietersen and de Bruyn slowed down so much there was no hope for the rest.
