Nice to see that Greens were in the top three in all tables in those standings (before the last set of matches), hopefully we can build our way into all three finals if we keep things moving forward. I think we were the only team to be in the top three in all versions of the game, too.

I await Neil's response with anticipation that is greater than any exam results. :D

Great stuff Blues. Bronco, Halsey, Stuey and Toogood, brilliant stuff. To the team, you smell that? I think I smell us urinating on the Black bonfire. :laugh:

Talk about choosing to ignore...

Me and Pete start a conversation with Neil, both saying hi. Neil promptly without saying a word, exits the conversation - classic. :D

I'll point out that that was a) before I knew the results (although the fact that you both message me within seconds of signing in suggested we'd lost) and b) my PC signed me into Windows messenger instead of MSN.

As for ignoring, I at least have the dignity to respond to this unlike a certain Blue captain when we spanked them. I'm concerned about the following things in that game - openers getting starts and getting out having consumed lots of balls; lower order collapses; catching (again) and the seam attack.

Excuses, excuses...

The fact is, if it wasn't for me informing the forum of it, you probably wouldn't have replied yet...

I was out of the country and I didn't want to re-open old wounds for my side when I returned.

Plus I knew it was a minor hiccup which this result shows. :D

Only due to games in hand, matey boy.

Blacks are top of two and fourth in the other (but on run rate only, with two games in hand on second and third).

Ah well, I don't think you ever beat us in the 5D games anyway. ;)

I'm kind of confused whether there was a change in schedule that went unnoticed to me. The original schedule says that Blues-Blacks and Aus A-Eng A 5D matches were Sunday, while they were already played on Friday. :confused:

I haven't changed any dates on the schedule and my schedule says the games were set for Friday.

CRICKET WEB RED 171/3 25.0 overs
CRICKET WEB BLUE 174/2 21.4 overs

Cricket Web Blue won by 8 wickets

Man of the match: Craig

Daily Blast Comment: Applause for Craig in scoring the second 25Smash hundred and the fastest to date, passing Broncoman's 74 balls. No real contest in the end. The bowlers on both sides generally got hammered, with Tom Halsey the brilliant exception. In a battle of the batsmen, Halsey's tight spell was probably the difference.
