Carmine vs Western Australia
at Cw Oval
Scorecard
Ball By Ball
The tourists came out on top in a match where only one man could really control the fast bowlers: Rob Dauth, whose faultless 101 was a treat for the spectators scattered around the Oval. Yet, too many loose balls from the Carmine seamers ensured that the visitors crouched home in the penultimate over.
Justin Langer called correctly, and promptly decided on a day in the field on a wicket treacherously like that of the sandgropers' own in Perth. Steve Magoffin knew how to use a pitch with steepling bounce; a little added seam movement to a good length ball, and Bennett had no answer as the ball crashed into his pad. With Aseem Sharma giving the softest of return chances to another in-mover, and Dobson caught off the inside edge after an excruciating three, it seemed as though the game had been decided already.
Dauth stood tall, however, thudding eight fours in one of the finest knocks seen at the Oval. Reading the bounce perfectly, the international batsman had his sights set on a century early on, and was well supported by captain Mørk, who prodded around for 45 as the run rate crept up steadily. Excess shots against the spin removed them both, however, and with neither Dwyer, Nayak nor Heal able to prop up the rate in the late overs, the total of 220 for six seemed inadequate.
The Carmine seamers looked like they needed the fitness training ahead of the season. Amir's first over was a gem, with deliveries judged at around 90mph by the departing batsmen; Davis and Langer had no answer and nicked feebly behind the wicket. Ronchi decided to go into the first of his two gears - leaving everything instead of bashing everything - while Rogers assaulted Amir, taking him for four fours in the seventh over to cut the required rate by 9 per cent. Rogers eased to a fine 64, and though Mørk managed to take two wickets in a delayed powerplay, Marsh and Bandy calmly got their team home against the gentle spin served up by the remainding motley crew.
CW Carmine 220 for six (50)

Australian's cheated us again! I had five LBW's turned down. Bad umpiring affected the match result

Just name it when you get time and Mork can work on it whenever he gets time.

A tough day to bat, but some good stuff from Mork and Nayak. Amir had no trouble getting wickets, but that E/R is shocking...

Just realised I've forgotten to assign JJD Heads to a side. As such, he takes the place of Pomersbach in the Zingiber lineup.

Zingiber vs Western Australia
at CW Oval
Scorecard
Ball By Ball
A better seam performance and some quality death batting from Manjunath Reddlapalli and Sean Ervine got Zingiber across the line, leaving them heavy favourites to win the one-day preseason tournament. On a slow wicket, 214 was never going to be an easy target, but after making heavy work of the singles the hosts eventually got home.
Watt made inroads early on, with Ronchi heaving to Kennett and Voges inside edging, and Clapham made full advantage of the pressure built up by his new-ball bowling partner when Shaun Marsh came to the wicket. On the back of some pretty hefty feasting in Nixonstown the night before, Marsh looked unlikely to see the ball from stroke one, and a painless dismissal was carried out by a gentle Clapham inswinger.
At 44 for three, things looked poor for the tourists, but Chris Rogers and Justin Langer swung things around. Kennett failed to carry through his good form from last season, leading to a healthy partnership of 93. Hogg and Davis finished the job off decently, with Watt and Clapham unable to add to their wicket tally at the death, and the total seemed to be respectable at 213 for five.
Luff and Gray started positively, adding 28 in six overs before Gray was caught at point by a diving Davis. Kearsley never really got off the mark, tied down by Magoffin, Dorey and Bandy, but Luff kept rotating the strike with calm dabs. One outrageous shot and one poor defensive stroke led to their downfall, however, and when neither Heads, Ritchie, nor Thompson could keep the momentum going, it looked a tough ask to get 62 in 13 overs with four men in the pavilion.
Helped by a generous smattering of extras and a crucial early dropped catch, however, Reddlapalli and Ervine were not to be outdone. The rate looked to have spiralled dangerously upwards when 40 was required off the last seven, but the two were merely setting the stage. Ervine and Reddlapalli drove the ball through the inner circle again and again, and their chase for boundaries was only stopped by an extremely sluggish outfield. Two fours and six threes were registered in the next three overs, and the Zingiber side could cruise home.
Western Australia 213 for five (50)

Fair all-round effort that one. Good to see Altoz getting some runs in the lower order, as well as Luff starting the pre-season with a solid half century. On a bowling side, a few more wickets would've been nice, but the fact that we were able to restrict them to just 213 is a bonus.
Basically, a solid start to the season

Whoa, stoked with that effort. Congrats to Crapo on his fine debut captaincy performance. Played everyone.

Pretty decent first up effort there. Musta been bit of a bowler friendly pitch, good hit out none the less.
