I'm playing 234 White Roses today in a top-of-the-table clash:

1. 	234 White Roses 	2 	2 	0 	0 	0 	9 	6 	43
2. 	Lampys Lightning 	2 	2 	0 	0 	0 	7 	6 	41
3. 	Nether Edge CC 		2 	1 	1 	0 	0 	5 	6 	25

Anticipating a tough match, I've picked my 1st XI, and given a dusty pitch and sunny conditions, I've opted to bat first, defensively, and declare at 500 (if I get there).

Opponent has five players with 100+ BTR, 3 batters on sublime fitness, and 2 bowlers on energetic fitness (not unusual, as last week was a BT20 week).

Very surprised therefore to find that he's thrown the game, and we're currently 90-0 after 10 overs facing pies. Hope I can finish it off today and recover PFL before Friday.
