Dev League Season 8 (Sign Up Here!)

daaaaaaammit, dammit dammit. not great bowling by me, a few dropped chances but there always will be i guess. well batted fitzy and cloete, you`re both really shining

some hard work to be done by me to make sure I be getting some wickets!

good win greens, after our last few games it was a good turn around.....suprised with my 61 at the top considering i usually struggle up the top in fc but nice work green board.. some good decisions paid off there.......

Well im in excellent form

Bad luck with that loss, despite a great second innings, and many good individual performances.

Tuesday 8th March

CW Black v CW Blue
at the PDV Dome

After their attempts in the last game came up short, Jellett and Wilshere tried again and this time their partnership was a matchwinning one. CW Black levelled Blue to 56/4 then 100/5 chasing 242 for victory, but positive half-centuries from Wilshere and Jellett revived home fortunes.

The two added 135 runs after a Broadbent blitz earlier in the innings. Indeed, Broadbent finished with 5 wickets in a losing effort, with Black taking just 6 in total. Earlier Black was inserted in murky conditions. Chaulk was once again the star at the top of the innings, but Butler, Kearsley and Loc also played roles in getting to 241/5. Andrew Cloete led the Blue bowling with 3 wickets in 9 overs.

Man of the Match: D Jellett

CW Green v CW Red
at the CW Oval

A terrific allround contribution from Rob Malone against his old team allowed Green to take some advantage of Black's defeat, and close the OD gap to 1 point between the teams. The Greens were not able to secure a bonus point, but did cruise to victory on the seaming Oval wicket.

Malone followed up 2 wickets in the Red innings with an unbeaten century, his third of the season. He partnered Brendon Goff for 212 runs unbroken, as the CW XI captain stroked a restrained 84. For Red, the openers were contained by solid bowling from Hoy and Cunningham. Stedman then began to pick up the pace, but was out soon after getting to 50.

Sean Bennett took it upon himself to anchor the innings and batted for almost 3 hours for his half-century. The Red middle order never got going, and it took a couple of good blows by Cameron at the end to push on to 230/7.

Man of the Match: RJ Malone

yeah, the sooner we all know there's no playing for a draw in one day cricket the better

Great stuff, bugssy, you did Green proud. I see the captain is still taking wickets with that of Reds captain marc for a golden duck - we'll never hear the end of that one!

Great all round effort by the bolwers, though. While we didn't knock them over, we did make sure we restricted them wonderfully.

a nice win some bonus points would be handy

great performance guys, especially buggsy thye started well but we came home beutifully. that 212 partnership is probably our best for the season. as for my bowling, well that will teach marc for trying to hit me out of the ground first ball

very pleased to make the squad, especailly with two oterh blacks with me

Good win again Green... soon we'll be back past Blacks

Thanks De Silva

2nd your comments about Wilshere and Jellett as well. That was amazing batting down the order. But I think it was really a team eprformance with everybody chipping in except maybe the top order.

Guys we need to really buck up now, our leads are small, we can't afford to slack off. good bowling from Broadie tho

Crap! That was terrible bowling Reds. Come on guys, this is the business end of the sesaon, let's pick up our act.
