If I don't do anything productive the next game give someone else a chance to shine. I'm sick and tired of going for runs with an apparent lack of penetration.

What's the point of a strike bowler who doesn't take wickets.
Give me his FC spot ffs i havent played one yet

Well, it seems a bit like a topsy-turvy season for us so far, a few wins, a few silly losses - but that's life.
I'm definetly enjoying my first season here :D

Top order in FC has been a bit poor of late, that's about the third time Liam has saved us from embarrassment with a half century down the order. Bowling hasn't been great either, but we really should be able to manage a substantial first innings lead after bowling the opposition out for 200.

True.

Bowling has been very up and down. :( Solid tail end batting, though :cool:

Man we have fallen off the pace pretty badly, one would have thought when the internationals came back we would hit some form. Don't think i have ever had a worse season then what i have so far in FC. I think my spot might need to reviewed pretty soon, maybe its time to give Cribb, Camps, Fuller or Ullungura a run at the top. But I guess its worse watching our OD batting line up fail and i can't help you guys out, hopefully i can score some more runs in Grade Cricket and push for a spot soon.

Solid draw v Black.

Were in it for parts of the match, then hung in for the draw at the end.

Personally happy to contribute with the bat just as often as I fail (even more so possibly!) this season! :D

Finally put together a good innings with 46 from 33, but sad to see that we didn't get as much runs as needed. Slid win against Greens though.

Congrats to Cribb on a stunning fourth first class ton this season. Really proving the MVP of the first-class side this year. Also good to see Dunn bowling well on his return to the FC team. Looking pretty confident now, and at the right time of year too.

Can I have that knighthood now? :p

Seriously though, really pleased with my own form this season, especially in FC cricket. I've even scored a few runs in one day cricket which is highly unlike me!

Another good win (and a big one this time) - keep it up guys.

You've saved us with the bat in three games running now (2 FC and 1 OD). Really pleased with the way you've come along this season, and even more pleased with myself for keeping you in Blue colours. :cool: I genuinely thought you'd play a bigger role with the ball than the bat this season, but you've apparently sorted out your footwork finally.

Also, worth noting the way Crampton looks to be acquitting himself much better in FC cricket this season. He started his career really poorly in the long form, but since last season (I think) he's been turning that around. And batting up the order, he's played some crucial innings for us.

Yeah, I've been enjoying getting some runs in the longer form this season. Started to improve last season, stoked to keep it up.
