G1.

I didn't see the opening, but Wickham has made 1 and has a laid break

Wickham still going round, approaching 3b

I told a lie.. he was approaching 4. Clip now on 5

Wright had a break but did something at h3 and also has a clip on it. Wickham hits a 20 yarder and has a chance for a break. He has shot extremely well during the event but has made a few more errors than he would have liked. Michael has got a lot better since the doubles and I'm looking forward to seeing how he performs in this match.

Wickham back on the lawn. I'm going to go for a walk to get a better update on clippage.

Wickham on 1b and 5 vs 4 and 1

Now on 2b and 3b vs 4 and 1. I haven't been following this one closely but it looks like there has been lots of potential breaks, but no easy ones which either player should have taken round

Wickham 2b and Rover vs 2 and 4

Wickham penault and rover vs 4 and 2 but Michael has a chance for a break with his h4 ball

Michael taking his h4 ball to 4b currently approaching 2b

Michael now 4b and 3 vs penault and rover but faulted an angled hoop. Wickham had a moment of brilliance - taking off from c2 with his penault ball to a ball 6 inches NE of h3 he misses the ball, hits the wire and lands in a position giving him a dolly rush to penault

Wickham reaches the peg, Michael misses and Wickham finishes to take the first 26-11

Game 2;

Michael break approaching 2b and 1 vs 1b and 5

Michael has not turned up on time (again) so Wickham is out warming up. It should be a good 3rd game between these two. Michael is a very good match player with a never say die attitude and did well to play himself back into the match yesterday. The 2nd game resulted in Michael pegging Dave's ball off and taking control. This could go either way but I would say if Wickham has a good start he would be a close favourite.

Michael has not arrived - only a few minutes late so I'm sure Dave can forgive him with the kind heart that he has.

Michael hits 3rd turn, sets a dream leave, Wickham misses into c4

Michael has a clip on h2 and Wickham has an opportunity for a break

Wickham has a clip on h6 and h1. Michael had a clip on h3 but is now on a break approaching h4 with a good ball at 5 and the 4th ball in c4

Michael had a spread. G on 4b, B on h1 with Wickhams P on h6 and W on h1. Wickham misses the lift and Michael doesn't get past h2. Wickham shooting from h2 into a double on WB near h1.. BANG. Few good shots required to establish a break

Good pickup from Wickham comes to an end when I see a ball in h4. Michael has a choice of a 1 yarder with his 4b ball or a 5 yarder with his h1 ball

Michael now 5 and 4b vs 1 and 3b with Wickham having the innings

Micahel hit a leave I think, in play with his h5 ball and has the chance of a break

Michael*

Wickham has the innings, Micahel now 6 and 4b vs 2 and 3b

Micahel has the innings and has progressed to h3

and Wickham has progressed from h2 to h3*

Wickham approaching h3 from 5yN with a ball at h4... big shot

Shilling has just won the 3rd 26-1 against Roberts

Wright approaching h6 with half a chance of a break and 4b vs Wickham h5 and 3b

Wickham hit a 25y ball and a half and is no longer on h5.. I think hes currently approaching 2b

Wickham now 2b and 3b vs 6 with a good chance of a break and 4b

Michael has played a nice pickup and now approaching 2b starting the turn at h6

Wright now approaching rover, will be a spread to go 4b and peg vs 2b and 3b

Hakes smashes into c1, didn't look happy with the shot but he will get multiple opportunities to hit

Good leave, big shot for Wickham

Wickham misses the lift down the line, finishing turn for Wright

Good finish from Michael and a good comeback for a 2-1 match win. My predictions continue at 100%, just a shame it's not the correct 100%. From what I've learnt in the UK though, with the guidance of Aiton, Maugham and Wicks, it should probably be a 50:50
