Great bowling performance Dave!

I'm sure that will give you plenty of confidence heading into the 'A' tour.

 

[bugssy]

Good performances over a short period of time. That won't get you into the Test team generally. Besides, who would you have replaced?

considering there is a lot of debutants ummm...........

 

[bugssy]

The fact is that you cruise into the OD side. So does Blewy. That's why you didn't play, because it gave those who haven't established themselves in ODs a chance.

Playoffs

**OD Playoffs**

CRICKET WEB RED 231/9 50.0 overs
CRICKET WEB GREEN 233/7 49.3 overs

Cricket Web Green won by 3 wickets

Man of the match: Rob Timewell

Coach's Comments:
Great bowling by Rob Timewell to inspire the Greens past the Reds. The Reds fought well, with Ghansar, Bugssy, Muhaffy and Reddy keeping them in it. With the ball, however, only Khan Jr, Ghansar and Dave looked to get much done and the Greens were led by Ash Chaulk and Adil Dewan to victory.
---
CRICKET WEB BLUE 282/5 50.0 overs
VETERANS XI 214/8 50.0 overs

Cricket Web Blue won by 68 runs

Man of the match: StUEy

Coach's Comments:
Great aggressive top order batting from StUEy, Fisher, and Lord of Darkness combined with great late innings batting from Langeveldt and (believe it or not) Jamee999. Jamee scored 9 runs in his other 4 OD innings this season, but contributed invaluably today. The bowling was solid, but not spectacular and Nath Patrick was the pick.[/B]

CW Blue will meet CW Green in the OD Championship.

Note that the Greens have already won the Chef de Groot Trophy, but they will compete for the title of champion.

**5D Playoffs**

Cricket Web Red 276 & 277
India A 281 & 273/2

India A won by 8 wickets

Man of the match: W Jaffer

Coach's Comments:
Great opening partnerships in both innings for the Reds, the collapses to complement them. Imran Khan Jr. fought his hardest as captain, but it just didn't happen for the spirited Reds. The bowlers ran out of steam after a commendable first innings performance. Well played Craig, Deeps, Dave and Pratyush though.
---
Cricket Web Green 286 & 194
Australia 'A' 354 & 130/2

Australia 'A' won by 8 wickets

Man of the match: AJ Bichel

Coach's Comments:
On a flat wicket, the Greens slipped to 62/5 until Adil Dewan stepped in with his maiden century with some support from Mr M. The bowling effort to follow was quite good and the wickets were shared rather evenly. It was all undone in the batting though, this time the lower order collapsed.

Australia A will meet India A in the final.

Woop!
