A rather sorry tale there boys. Sure we were understrength, but the performance from well established team members wasn't pleasing at all.
Mr Ponting had an awful game I'm afraid with the ball conceeding his century, Vishnu Reddy bowled really well, but Dark Hunter no doubt stood out from the pack with 20 overs 10 maidens 1/24 which was absolutely outstanding.
On a personal note, not too happy with 2/95 from 35.5 overs, but it was good to get the red hot Jimmy Maher out. Our batting lacked discipline, and even though we were placed in a precarious situation, we needed to show some character and make as many runs as possible in order to avoid the follow on and salvage a draw.
But unfortunately, we capitulated as only David Kearsley, BK Smith and Umpire Money only registered 50's throughout the course of the match. Ferd continues to disappoint unfortunately at the top of the order, but he's a determined individual with a lot of heart and pride, but he'll need to get a few runs before the CW XI players come back again.
All in all, bad loss, and throughout most of the season we were looking red hot favourites to win the 5D championship, sadly we're no longer contenders. But the OD trophy is there for the taking, but we need to play better than this.

For a bowler of your calibre and skill you did deserve those 4 wickets mate. Too bad our fielding was pretty awful too.Mr. P said:Actually im not too unhappy with my bowling. A wicket, 3 dropped catches and although I conceded 112 I did bowl 40 overs...less then 3 an over...
Im sure we'll pick up next game, keep at it boys...

Unlucky Blues, I think (although it was a quick count) I had 6 catches dropped off my bowling, our fielding is letting down the bowlers work.

Cricket Web Blue 2nd Innings 207 for 5
Match Drawn.
Daily Blast Comment: A brave effort from a tired team. KennyD entered to add some fresh spirit to the Blues, but the bowlers showed their fatigue early when the Aussie top order belted the ball about. Some wonderful bowling from Nath Patrick at the end of day 1 then got his team back into things, and he finished with a career-best haul when all was said and done. The batsmen then did well enough to put the game into 'draw' territory before another tired bowling effort. All in all the bowlers did well in spurts, but simply could not sustain pressure. However, enough was done for an honourable draw and a decent way to finish the 5D regular season.

Great stuff there Reds, an amazing victory. Top bowling by DK (but mate, save some wickets for us other bowlers, lol).
Great team effort, and wonderful display. Should we make the OD final, I think that performance will give us a lot of confidence.
