**Dev League Season 7**

Must be something seriously wrong with the team if no one celebrates wickets anymore...

hey dont worry we celebrate, a grope, a kiss , a dry root.

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

But we are yet to master the art of the 'high five'

 

[cbuts]

great game blacks. nice batting smith, we ahd a great partnership

 

[lord_of_darkness]

very dissapointing loss there, basically the only positive was blewy's continued good form in the shorter versions of the game.

come on cap put more into that batting :P

Out of curiosity, are we allowed to start a CW Green thread where we can list all of our players with their stats (at the start of the tournament, with updates as time goes on) etc? It would be nice to know what kind of people we have backing us up so we can compare our players without having to dig through threads in multiple forums. Get a better feel for the team as well.

 

[steds]

Hmmmm. I think my previous post has got to some people...

Step One of my evil plan has been completed.

Paid's PLAN
Step 1: Post about my lack of playing
Step 2: Others get angry and start attacking the man and the "whole freaking system (which is not out of order! Damn it!)
Step 3: Get into the Black team, when all of the first XI are banned through a huge brawl in previous game against the Greens.
Step 4: Never lose my place ever again, through scoring huge scores.

It is all coming together.

Just coz you wear hawaiian shirts...

I don't see any problem with that. Go right ahead.

You played in a limited overs game just a little while back.

But not when I am playing, only after i get out.

 

[Loony BoB]

Think Pierre van Hooijdonk @ Forest...

Yeah, but he sued them and boycotted their games, not quite the same as a slip of mouth.

I know in the NZ team's past, Chris Cairns and Adam Parore had attitude problems and often didn't get along with their team but when they took a wicket or made a catch or a 50 or a 100, they loved it, the team loved it, the captain loved it and the nation loved it. Seems a bit harsh to say that not a single person celebrated a wicket he took when as far as I can see, only two or three (?) people in the team have said anything against the guy...

Maybe I'm taking what you said a bit too seriously though. I don't know what's serious and what's not around here right now... :s Although I like any advantage to the Green team, it's always a shame to see cricketers having a hard time for any reason. Hope you guys sort out your problems so you can get back into gear so we get even more satisfaction when we outdo ya.

EDIT: Thanks Liam Is there any chance you can send me the pre-season stats for all the CW Green players so I can sort something out?

Dissapointing loss for the greens. We'll bounce back.

 

[steds]

Good start from Mr. Wright, downhill from there.
Yet again, I have to apologise for my bowling figures
*puts paper bag on head*

Don't worry. It's 25Smash for a reason. When you get into the regular 50-over stuff and 5D cricket you'll have a better chance to show your skills.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

EDIT: Thanks Liam Is there any chance you can send me the pre-season stats for all the CW Green players so I can sort something out?

Will do that in a bit.

 

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, it's only our first loss if I remember rightly in 25Smash. That's okay, so long as we outweigh our losses with wins by a substantial amount I don't think we should be too worried either. We'll just have to put a bit more into the next game.

 

[superkingdave]

Woohoo - GO BLACK!

Very pleased with my 4-0-13-2 even if it is only against the Red's

V nice innings from Cbuts 44 of 20!

Looks like a good year ahead

Liam who is the top bowler in 25smash?

 

[thewizard1o1]

Well i was happy with my first game...2/26 off six wasn't a bad effort. The second was a different matter...after getting the late call-up to open i took CW cricket back to its roots, one pad, no gloves and no box. I think that will be my last game as opener (as it should be ).

Dissapointed to lose both games and will be hitting the nets hard...watch out Looney Bob

 

[Simon]

err crap, as if bichel could get me out....
