Still MS, but he mucked up a gear change on the 8th bend and let the chasing pack close the gap quite a bit

Lead reduced to 189 . So good progress happening. Another good thing is that Red and Ian are away. But in this series, FTS is the dangerman in BBL from what i remember in past two BBL FL's. He kept me to second in previous two attempts.

It's very hard to stay out in front from the start. I've tried it a couple of times and failed. Only person I can think of who has managed it is Red............. and the last time he tried, I managed to pip him at the post (Yay)

Red is a bookie (just kidding)...leave him...he gets everything right in most FL's. After 2011 i decided to overtake him by winning more cricket FL's than him, worked well in 2012 and 2013 but still he came back strongly in 2014. On other forum i take part in FL's i win them frequently even though there are more participants and in long tournaments with variable selections every match. But it's very tough to win more cricket FL's than Red if you ask me. He should be banned from participating in FL's.

I tend to be at the bottom a lot. Saves me having to fall too far.

[mikesiva]

With all the players I've lost, I'm coming fourth....

we now have a 5 man leading group, with hope trying to tag onto the back.

Ian, Mike, Powelly and Red are working together to try and close the gap

GJ has seen the danger and is closing rapidly to join GG and Aidan

CF has just pooped into the loo for a bit of a comfort stop, before putting in his last gasp burst

More than trying DFM, I'm flying up this climb without any support from Hales who's had two punctures already.
