Haven't been checking in much yet this season but it looks like we haven't made a complete mess of the first quarter, which is an improvement compared to some previous seasons. I think we still need to improve quite a bit more though (especially me itbt).

Yeah, with Adam there, we seemed to go through a few seasons of completely ballsing up the start of the season, which really cost us later on. Hopefully we can still improve substantially as we did then.

The beginnings of a rift in the team. :-O
Nah not really I am just looking after the teams interests, we need to make a few changes it appears.

Tyson would have to admit that 64 runs in 4 innings is not enough, especially since our team has some good batsmen waiting on the sidelines.

Yeah I have been in shocking form.

Yes! We won, and I got a hit.

Thanks Travis for selecting me, glad to have helped a bit in the second innings with 75 and take 4 catches for the match.

It was quite a slow innings in comparision to your usual innings too :p you must've been concentrating. ;)

Great showing from us to snatch that,I thought. Hero Gooljar and good showings from Young Camps and Fuller again with the bat. Ad's and Manan got more wickets, good signs. I'm struggling for wickets, don't like that at all.

I did knuckle down, only hit 3 4's and 3 6's.:)

Had to a bit though after by 6 ball 11 in the first innings where I slashed at one during the final over of the day. ahhh.

Great win, real team effort. :)

My favourite part of the game was this:
Travis Demeza, lifting the enormous Gooljar onto his shoulders.
Needs to hit the gym does Gollijar :dry: , although he did bowl gun.

Super human strength on my behalf.

I'm very happy with our FC unit at the moment, don't see the need to change. The OD team on the other hand is in dire form.

Tyson, Fuller, Taylor and myself better do soemthing in this or the next game or their selection is looking grim. Also, Alex's injury is saving Thamba's spot, need's to work on his batting a bit.

Not liking the new ball anymore, haha. I guess I can handle another game or two of it though, just to see if it continues being dire.

Any danger in Shah being active?

As glorious as his performances have been, he's pretty much the only regular who hasn't posted. No rewards for inactivity at this club.

I'd have a chat with him if I were you.

I'm going to propose a system to the CWBCC whereby, if a player is inactive and the captain willfully does not play him for the extent of his inactivity, he will receive no skill loss. This would, of course be within a limit. I'm thinking that limit would be one quarter. After that he is deemed officially inactive and therefore begins losing skill.

What about captains playing inactive players willfully. I don't agree with inactivy and won't play inactive'es, but should they all pull the morale highground and not play active players?

If a captain isn't willing to bench the inactive players, the player would be officially deemed inactive. Simple as.

Well that was a shocker in the OD game.

I reckon the team could do with a nice 75 off 90 odd balls like in my most recent FC Innings.
