Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 2
Aqua 11*5
Exeter 99*5
AJ 100*3
Argus 102

Weez goes first and busts row 4, hoping to make it harder for those high card players.

Aqua ends up where he expected except that it is now row 2.

And Exeter, AJ & Argus pile onto what was row 3.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 3
Exeter 5*2
Aqua 6
Weez 50
AJ 95*2

Those low numbers are far too tempting for some folk! Arus, Exeter and Aqua rush onto the first row.

Whilst Weez and AJ playing fairly widely apart both land on row 3!

In theory there is a safe spot for everyone next round..

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 7
Argus 12
Exeter 15*2
Weez 22*5
Aqua 98

AJ squeezes onto row 1.

Most people aim for those three spaces on row 2! Sensible! And there is just enough room!

Fortunately Aqua decided to play his 98 which slides safely onto row 3.

Now there are only two almost inaccessible spaces. I see carnage ahead

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 18
Argus 71
Exeter 92
Weez 93
Aqua 96

AJ is first and breaks row 1. 6 points, could be worse

At least he avoids busting row 2!

Argus is the next to step up and he has nowhere to go but row 2. The 14 points are his!

Exeter, Weez and Aqua pile on behind him, all relieved, Exeter in particular!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 1

Exeter 19
Weez 28

AJ & Aqua both favour the 1 point bust as a sound strategy but AJ is more determined!

And everyone rushes in behind him to fill the row!

Not such a good choice to be had this round but he elects to bust row 1 for 5 points.

And again everyone happily piles on behind!

Weez 75*2
Aqua 82
AJ 88*5

Exeter decides that his card is a likely bust and takes row 2 for 4 points!

Almost everyone piles on happily behind him.

Everyone that is apart from AJ, who strangely out of character, decides to play his 88 to bust the new row 2 for 7 points.

Perhaps he is clearing the decks.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 73
AJ 83
Exeter 84
Weez 89

Argus is first onto the field this time. He takes a run and bowls at the row 2 wicket, busting it for 5 points.

Aqua is standing mid field, sitting pretty, waiting for a catch.

The batters find a narrow crease. They jostle for position. AJ steps up and taps the ball away. Exeter is next and he takes the dreaded spin bowl taking him out for 7 points!

Weez is relieved to find a clear field when she walks in to bat.

Again everyone gratefully piles on behind him

Interesting final picture in this round. Don't think I have ever seen a final board so full and with so many points on offer! You all did good to avoid those!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 1

Weez = 1 point

Aqua = 2 points

Exeter = 13 points
AJ = 19 points

Argus = 19 points
