Awesome win, and stunning performance from May-Quinlan. Showed some real promise in the West Indies pre-season, and he's certainly living up.

Cricket Web Green v Cricket Web Black
Pickford Reserve
Scorecard
Ball by Ball
For the second time this season Daniel Smith was out at a crucial venture for Cricket Web Black, and Rob Malone bowled a tremendous death spell to guide Cricket Web Green to a thrilling victory. Smith smacked a Malone delivery into the hands of Andrew Garven at extra cover, and the resulting stunning catch swung the game for the Greens. Looking stronger and fitter than ever before, Malone bowled intelligently and consistently to take 2-24 and limit the CW Black chase at the death.
Classy half-centuries from Ash Chaulk (72) and Smith (62) set the game up intriguingly, and CW Black entered the final ten overs needing 49 runs from 60 balls, with 8 wickets in hand. Cameron removed Armstrong, as he nicked a yorker length ball through to Lezama for 25. In the following over Smith perished, much to his dismay. He walked off with head bowed in fear of his recurrence of his crucial dismissal earlier in the season. Arnold and McMeekin struggled to time the ball at the outset, and both were out within 10 balls of each other. CW Black then needed 14 from 19 balls with Zac Gelman and Blake Donald at the crease.
Rose and Malone allowed a combined 7 runs from the 48th and 49th overs. Rose then charged in to defend 8 runs in the final over of the innings. He speared yorkers at the toes of both batsmen, mixing in a bouncer for the 4th ball. The ball was hooked for a single after some stunning fielding by Cameron in the deep. In total only 5 singles came from the over, allowing CW Green to sneak victory by 2 runs.
Earlier Malone starred with the bat in notching 51 after an uncertain start that saw CW Green at 41-2. However it was Ben Read who pressed on. He first settled into his innings in taking 17 balls to reach double figures. In scoring his last 77 runs, however, he faced only 60 balls. In total Read scored 85 from 76 balls and hit 7 fours and 2 sixes. Gelman was by far the best of the bowlers, taking 4-49, though George Roberts exhibited excellent control for his 2-41.
Cricket Web Green 248-7 (50 overs)
BS Read 85 [76], RJ Malone 51 [86], M Corrin 37 [41]

Cricket Web Red v Cricket Web Blue
PDV Dome
Scorecard
Ball by Ball
A commanding hundred by Matt Luff went a long way to helping Cricket Web Red diminish the demons of their first-class defeat at the PDV Dome, as they crushed Cricket Web Blue by 6 wickets in the one-day fixture. Luff scored 115 from 124 balls, an innings including 9 fours and 2 sixes. Together with Kenny Dobson (79), the second wicket partnership produced 185 runs, and the Reds chased a target of 248 with great ease.
The threat of May-Quinlan was neutralized superbly. The young fast bowler was wicketless for 52 runs in his 10 overs. It was symptomatic of an impotent CW Blue seam attack, though the spin Gooljar and Cribb was far worse. The legspinners combined for figures of 10-0-71-0. After a rough start, Sean Fuller returned well to finish with 2 for 47, the best of the figures. CW Red was clearly the better team on show on the day, and paced the chase exceptionally.
CW Blue would rue missed opportunities with the bat, however. Pete Young made amends for his missed chance two games ago, bringing up a hundred at the top of the order on this day. He was out for 102, but he and Jack Ullungura (80) set up the innings for a huge score. At the dismissal of the Young, CW Blue were 177-2 after 37.5 overs. But the bowlers regrouped to allow only 70 runs from the final 12.1 overs of the innings. Some 6 wickets also fell in the time, largely due to the full and fast bowling of David Kennett, who took 4 wickets. Amir was also sharp in returning 3 wickets.
Cricket Web Blue 247-8 (50 overs)
PE Young 102 [141], J Ullungura 80 [85], T Mamesh 22 [33]
DM Kennett 4-47 [10], MU Amir 3-54 [10]

MD Luff 115 [124], GKK Dobson 79 [102]

Green lose experience and youth
Cricket Web Green have suffered two big blows, as experienced allrounder Rob Malone and rookie pacer Josh Forner have suffered injuries of varying severity. Malone tore ankle ligaments when he tripped on his way into the dressing room this evening. He will miss 15 game days. Forner suffered a fractured jaw playing Grade Cricket. He will miss 6 game days.

Well, back to middling. Have we won exactly as many as we've lost this year?

That's your job, though it wasn't a totally unrealistic result.

Yeah, it's things like that which give me incentive to program.
After I'm finished simming 12 grade games and

BARNES OUT
Well that's heart wrenching, you'd think with so many wickets in hand they'd have been able to score 15 from 19, but alas, it just hasn't been our season for things like that. Oh well, what's done is done now.
I may have to consider dropping myself so I don't keep costing us games like that. Really dire stuff, cringeworthy really.
Well there's been some tough times in this first quarter, not a great start to a captaincy career but I'm pretty confident we can come back from the brink. We came back from worse in the OD's last year and Blue in recent seasons are proof that you can do the same in FC as long as you can keep a side on the park. Looking forward to Patto and Borcich getting out on the park.
In other news, poor Malone. Last season and he's ruined his ankle. I know what a gimpy ankle can be like.

It's happened before though, when new batsmen have to come out late in an innings. Was a pitch that everyone had to build up a bit of momentum before charging.

yeah but in real life they would have got out swinging rather than take singles to the inevitable loss

You're the man getting Black into winning positions.
It was an untimely dismissal, but really you'd done enough that the rest should have taken the game home.

Perhaps, but who's to say they didn't swing and miss or swing and hit and just get singles for the effort? That's certainly not unheard of. Especially on a sluggish pitch.
