Allstars are 73-4 after 17 overs (Morgan 16no, Halladay 13no), chasing 222 to win. Run rate required is 8.28.
In an exclusive interview with the Allstars Blog, captain-for-the-day James Morgan said: “We’re just taking it ball by ball.”

Hindle 48. Harty 45.
Bowman 2-25. Hautot 1-23.
A much more lively second half to the innings saw some big sixes, some catches go to hand, and a challenging target for the Allstars of 222 to win. James Morgan’s imaginative captaincy was a particular highlight.

After 18 overs, James Hindle and Steve Harty have taken the Village to a soporific 89-0. Some Pakistani style catching from the home team contributed to the general feeling of ennui.

Stand-in skipper James Morgan won the toss and decided that the Allstars should bowl.

Is this a taste of things to come? Today’s match against Village CC marks the beginning of an era in which Maxie is to take a less active role in the running of the club. And the result: we have 13 players all ready willing and expecting to play. Is this when we realise that Maxie was not such a bad administrator after all?
