**Dev League Season 6**

[Neil Pickup]

Interesting to see the much-criticised Norwegian wicketkeeper featuring in two.

Time for a 200+ stand before too long, boys.

BTW, the most consistent partnership appears to be Craig and Eyes Only.

Openers get many more chances...

CRICKET WEB RED 183/8 50.0 overs
NEW ZEALAND 'A' 185/7 44.1 overs

New Zealand 'A' won by 3 wickets

Man of the match: Matthew Walker

Coach's Comments:
This is the kind of loss that gets a coach upset. Not only are we crushed by New Zealand in the 5D, but now we've been beaten soundly in the OD too... at home! New Zealand 'A' is the worst OD team in the tournament and the Reds are one of the best. This is just attrocious cricket.

ENGLAND 'A' 192/8 50.0 overs
CRICKET WEB BLUE 193/9 42.3 overs

Cricket Web Blue won by 1 wickets

Man of the match: Nath Patrick

Coach's Comments:
Great bowling all 'round, especially from Patrick, but a disappointing batting effort. It took a crucial knock by Halsey and a match-winning knock by Bhooth Nath to get the job done, as the Blues retain top honours.

CRICKET WEB GREEN 177 40.5 overs
SOUTH AFRICA 'A' 178/8 47.5 overs

South Africa 'A' won by 2 wickets

Man of the match: Monde Zondeki

Coach's Comments:
Bitter-sweet game on hand here. Ash Chaulk batted maturely and with top class to try to hold together a crumbling batting order. With not much to defend, the Greens took it close and the star was none other than a Massive Zebra. Zebra took the first hat-trick at any level in CW XI history to push back the South Africans. Alas, it was not enough, as you'd expect when Xavier Rose goes wicketless.

VETERANS XI 241/5 50.0 overs
AUSTRALIA 'A' 213 48.3 overs

Veterans XI won by 28 runs

Man of the match: Mark Waugh

INDIA A 177 43.1 overs
ZIMBABWE XI 178/5 37.2 overs

Zimbabwe XI won by 5 wickets

Man of the match: PA Strang

 

[roseboy64]

Wow third highest score in the innings even though i'm not an opener.Bowled economically but couldn't take any wickets.Sorry greens!!!The middle order failed except for a good innings from Ash.Come on!! Buck up!!

 

[roseboy64]

Also umpire money and i have the highest 9th wicket partnership of 76.At least us greens can count on our lower order sometimes but we need more time in the nets.

 

[a massive zebra]

Wow! Very pleased to take a hatrick but would have been even better if we had won. Any chance of a 5 day game soon?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

We're at the halfway point in the season and the various races look interesting. Standings attached.

 

[cbuts]

lot of records by cwb there. me and jamie with the 6th wicket record

 

[bhooth nath]

nice to see myself doing well. i have been vey consistent in the one-dayers taking 11 wickets in 6 games @ 18.45. also in the last match, it was the first time i got into bat and made a important knock of 15* off 23 balls to take blues to a win after taking 2/27.

 

[David]

David Kennett will miss 3 games with a damaged knee cap.

Aww crap :S

 

[Timewell]

I'm looking forward to playing for the Greens - hopefully it won't be too long before I get given a crack of the whip!

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

For the team, reds played poorly, however i am pleased with my individual performance. Intersting move sending me (the #11) in at 3, i did the job i was sent in to do, scored 5 off 4 balls. Am very pleased with my bowling, picking up 3/26, however the team couldnt pull together and take a win unfortently.

Lets hope to change that situation against the aus a team for the next match.

Again i say it, to summerise our season in a word... inconsistant.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Season 6 Avges

Further updated. Half the season gone...

 

[cbuts]

looking for a better effort this second half of the season

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Very happy with my season so far, havnt been as consistant as i would of liked though, but the results are there. Leading wicket taker in 1d and 5d for reds, which is awsome, however a long way to go in the overall competition, and a long way before i catch that rose fellow in 5day. Is he human? I think not...

Wow, i thought 31 wickets in 5d was impressivem, till i saw what halsey and rose are on Altho i am holding my own in 1 day with 17.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Good to see us on top in the all important Chef de Groot Trophy, with me doing well personally, taking bucket-loads at 15 apiece.

FC, I need some support, as I've taken almost double anyone else. Batting is going well, Stuey and Buts doing the business.

 

[Jamee999]

Apologies Guys should be playing better,I have more experiecnce then quite a few members of the team and I'm not using it the way I should or to a satisfactory level.

 

[ash chaulk]

looking at those averages could we see a Toogood 2000+ run season and a Rose 100+ wickets for the greens....
