Ball by ball link, you mean. Scorecard link was working.


Cricket Web Black vs Cricket Web Colts
at Pickford Reserve

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

The aim was to keep Black below three hundred. At the end, Cricket Web Colts were lucky to keep Black below four centuries. Fifty-one fours were registered as Colts were utterly trounced in front of an ecstatic crowd at Pickford, as Black go into the one-day final at the paltry odds of $1.01.

There are few words to describe the Black batting effort: "extra-terrestrial" will have to do. The opening stand was worth 290, James Stedman registered 178, Andrew Cloete and Dan Smith scored at quicker than two a ball, and Myles Hutchinson was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 10-0-65-1.

As if the bowling humiliation wasn't enough; Colts had to outdo it while batting. Kev Gough took a wicket first ball and things went downhill from there. Dylan Cole top-scored with 43 as Colts were skittled for 108, losing by two hundred and eighty-seven runs, the eighth-highest win by runs in List A cricket. Only Devon (twice), Ireland (twice), Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire and Argentina have been worse.

Cricket Web Black 395 for three (50)
Stedman 178, Chaulk 128, Cloete 31, D Smith 31

Cricket Web Colts 108 all out (32.1)
Cole 43; Patrick 3/21 (6.1), Richards 2/17 (7), Gough 2/24 (6)

Cricket Web Black won by 287 runs
Man of the Match: J. E. Stedman (Black)

Cricket Web Blue vs Masters XI
at PDV Dome

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Cricket Web Blue also put in a dominant performance, though nowhere near the Pickford blackout. Excellent bowling reduced the Masters to a heap, though wicketkeeper Michael Johnson managed an unbeaten 45.

A patient 98 from Sean Fuller set the tone of the innings, before Peter Young and Alex Crampton took apart Henderson and Bond in the final overs. Blue were struggling somewhat at 84 for two, but Young continued his excellent one-day form, making 88 not out as Henderson ended with nought for 70.

Maina, Camps, a run out and Sriram ensured that Masters crashed to 70 for six, and though Johnson rebuilt, it was never a contest.

Cricket Web Blue 267 for three (50)
Fuller 98, P Young 88*; Odoyo 2/38

Masters XI 154 all out (45.3)
Johnson 45*; Camps 3/28 (7.3)

Cricket Web Green vs Cricket Web Red
at CWBCC Stadium

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Cricket Web Red couldn't prevent their status as worst of a bad bunch, but still clinched an eighty-run win on the back of another brilliant bowling effort from Martin West and gritty innings from Jamee Gray and Rob Dauth. Cricket Web Green would have finished third with a win, but struggled with the bat, and apart from Ben Read's 97 there was no one who could keep the Reds at bay.

Cricket Web Red 282 for two (50)
Gray 97*, Dauth 73*, Luff 49, Mørk 44

Cricket Web Green 202 all out (46.2)
Read 97; West 4/33 (9), Amir 3/37, Clapham 2/40 (8.2)

Black      17  3 13  81  +1.56
Blue       14  6 10  64  +0.10
Colts      11  9  7  51  -0.49
Green       9 11 11  47  -0.19
Red         8 12 11  43  -0.01
