**Dev League Season 7**

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

no, even though we lost in the semis, i think we still come 1st because we finished on top during the regular season. i could be wrong...

That would be wrong.

Blue is the title holder. The silverware refers to a trophy.

 

[age_master]

Come on Mr.Blewy pick me :hopes:

lol, comments like that wont help your cause with me

Daily Blast Comment: Another great final. It went down to the wire. Cricket Web Red entered the final 5 overs of the game needing 35 runs for victory, but the Greens did not give up hope and it came down to the final over. The experienced Darkness was the bowler and Gibbs N Smith stood on strike...

 

[Neil Pickup]

I hope the sim code is currently in the Atlantic somewhere, Liam.

 

[steds]

two finals lost

Never mind, we'll win 'em all next year

 

[age_master]

Great win guys, showed why team spirit is so important, it came down to the wire and we backed ourselves and each other and we got across the line. Solid batting from Blewy, Waughney and Cloete gave us a defendable score. The bowling was a little all over the place but generally good, Marjin the pick with 2/29 including the key wickets of deeps and Markus. Great final over from Lord too. Great win guy's, thoroughly deserved.

I hope the sim code is currently in the Atlantic somewhere, Liam.

I assume you mean a side chasing 35 from 5 overs and falling short?

 

[age_master]

he also didn't like the result in the semi

 

[Mister Wright]

I put my hand up and except full responsibility for this crushing loss. Dropping Blewy and uncharacteristic poor bowling was to blame. Gave away far too many runs and what could have been if I had of caught Blewy.

Sorry to let you down guys.

Well done on a great season.

you may not have played that well but its a team sport

 

[Mister Wright]

you may not have played that well but its a team sport

And I didn't do my job in the team, therefore I lost the game. Considering we only lost by 2 runs (technically 3 runs) if one of the balls I got hit for four was a dot ball, that means we win.

 

[thewizard1o1]

i agree with Kyle, individual results often weigh in heavily into the outcome of the match. With that being said all the little 'team' things will often help the team in a tight spot.

Anyway, Great win guys! Was great to get our hands on some silverware after the long season!

 

[Slats4ever]

**** how many finals do we wanna lose

 

[Blewy]

I said from the beginning that the 25Smash was our comp and we proved it in the end...

Great win guys...

Bad luck Reds!!! Oh and thanx Kyle...

 

[bugssy]

yet another final down the drain

 

[bugssy]

this is a very open question, nothing intended by it. will season 8 in the devs see players move around from club to club or is that just a no no..... just wondering ?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Tough luck - very tough luck. I really felt we deserved the victory there, but "snatched defeat from the jaws of it..."

 

[zghansar]

Tanks a lot for the recognition

I have to disagree with that award - Ghansar's bowling was out of this world - 5-0-10-1 are phenomenal in a 50 over game, let alone a 25 one!

thanks a lot for the recognition cap, thats all i need the team won thats more than sufficient. Bugs congrats on the award i really think u deserved the man of the match for the final even thought we lost the game, that innings was marvelous.

 

[zghansar]

hard luck boys, We all tried a lot this season... maybe next season well get the fruits.. lets just be happy on a good season end, it needed a lot of efforts to perform well after a disasterous season n make it to 2 finals. Hope nest season well be the hatrick champs cheers

 

[Cloete]

GREAT stuff Green!! We did it!!!!

Everybody did a job and we worked together as a team.

Just on gripe Age, I thoguht you said I was batting 4?
