**Dev League Season 7**

nice to see the greens back on track.. brilliant 312 run victory !!
I am sure we can take out the 5-D trophy.

Go Greens

 

[Nate]

dont complain too much mate... it all goes down to your captain and how you have been going.. ofcourse you will get more opportunities if you arent doing many things wrong.. but neither can have everyone in the CW system bat and bowl..

im just saying that if there are three people doing better than me, by all means, let them do their stuff for the team before me! the blues come before myself.

An excellent attitude Mr Nnanden.

However, you will continue to be used in the manner which you currently are. And to be honest, look at the rankings, they do not lie.

CRICKET WEB RED 243/6 50.0 overs
CRICKET WEB BLUE 244/7 47.5 overs

Cricket Web Blue won by 3 wickets

Man of the match: Jason Toogood

Daily Blast Comment: The bowling from Blue was mixed but Halsey and Patrick held it together to set up a good run chase for the batsmen. For Red it was disappointing that the middle order didn't really capitalize on a great platform, but the bowlers tried their best to pull out a win still. The slower bowling was outstanding, but the Blue batsmen got enough from the pacers to take a comfortable win in the end.

Daily Blast Comment: Great maturity from C Buts to seal another impressive victory for CW Black. Buts scored a very well-compiled half-century full of classic cover drives and dashing cut strokes. Earlier the Black spinners did the major damage, claiming 5 wickets between them to limit the target they would chase.

AUSTRALIA 'A' 181 39.2 overs
CRICKET WEB GREEN 166 32.0 overs

Australia 'A' won by 15 runs

Man of the match: Michael Clarke

Daily Blast Comment: Great fight shown by the Greens after being reduced to 18/4 chasing 182. Behind a wonderful counterattacking innings from the veteran Lo' Darkness and a solid knock from younster Loony Bob, CW Green almost pulled off victory from a disastrous start. The bowlers certainly did their job, though admittedly giving up a few runs too many for the 9th wicket. Overall a disappointing loss for Green, but it wasn't a horrible performance by any means.

 

[steds]

Another game that Reds managed to lose after being 150/1.
We play well but can't finish them off.

 

[superkingdave]

Great win Blacks, puts us up to second in the OD table behind Austrailia A.

Great batting C Buts, generally good bowling all round and only one dropped catch!

pleased with my own bowling but dissapointed to get a golden

 

[PY]

Well well well, another one bites the Blue dust.
Great performance team, let's continue this run of form.

Nnanden, look at those figures man.

 

[age_master]

Poor showing by the top order cost us what should have been a fairly easy win. Good work from the bowlers to bowl Aust A out for so few though.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ain't it all a bleeding shame Key difference between the blues and the reds today: Everybody in the blues contributed. We struggle with that.

 

[Tom Halsey]

No, it ain't a bleeding shame, coz we won.

Your strike rate was right up there though mate.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Your strike rate was right up there though mate.

Who the hell picks Mark Richardson to bat at eight in ODs anyway?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Who the hell picks Mark Richardson to bat at eight in ODs anyway?

No-one else in that team can keep....

Well impressed again, boys, nice to get some wickets again myself, and another lovely innings from Buts.

 

[steds]

No, it ain't a bleeding shame, coz we won.

Another fine quote from the ever humble, gracious, good sport known as Halsey

 

[cbuts]

great effort boys, nice to have this winning feeling back

 

[Nate]

Well well well, another one bites the Blue dust.
Great performance team, let's continue this run of form.

Nnanden, look at those figures man.

haha awesome win fellas... great job halsey, toogood and TEAM!! yea not bad i guess, i was reffering bowling less mainly in the 5D side of things where my average isnt too flash, but of course ill do whatever the team wants. cmon blues, RAM IT HOME!!!!

 

[SupaFreak2005]

Am doing...
...hang on, why are we praying? Is injuries the only way we'll get into the team?

No laddie you misunderstood me. I meant pray that we might do well in spite of another injury to the team.

Anyways we alot to do still.... we are still struggling for a win.
We are like WI we get in a good position and then find a way to lose the game. Well we're not as bad as WI its become their trademark somewhat now.

GO REAPERS GO!

 

[lord_of_darkness]

ahhh... maybe if jamee held on to those catches things could have been different ahh disapponting loss, none to say the least.. so close yet so far.. happy with my performance but i wish the team really struck though.. when we win i do crap and when we lose i do good lol...mmm 4 sixes was my desperate attempt to get home.. i think one cleared the ground.. gotta keep pumpin those muscles for a few more ..

 

[Slats4ever]

yeah i agree to what others have said that we need to finish it off. we get heaps complacent when we get up in games like that. Going from 0/150 and losing two quick wickets doesn't mean we slow the ship down! Opening was a bit've fun though, facing the first ball from Adam wasn't scary. I enjoyed plonking him away
