**Dev League Season 7**

Elliot given 3 lives by our fielders, 2 of which were early. this is just one of those games that escaped us. it looks like what the daily blast said that we've forgotten how to win might be the truth. we had it on a platter. the bowlers bowled well and the batsman stuck to it. the little things like fielding and tail order batting... things which don't seem overly important, i'm afraid we're over looking. let it be the opposition giving us chances from now on not us giving them chances.

Very dissapointing match, we started solidly enough 98 from Cloete and 59 from myself. they than got a slight lead but nothing that mattered really, i fielded like poorly to say the least. 5/58 from David Jnr and 4/28 from timewell. but thna we had probably our worst collapse of the season, 117 is very poor indeed we didn't even get ontop of 1 bowler. not much we could do about defending that one. we are going to have to improve alot considering that Blewy and Cloete will also be away on CWXI duty soon.

Great win guys! Really well played...:)

On a personal note, really happy with my Black debut, I was very economical in the first innings and even better in the second with 3/9 off 10.

Had a glance at the stats and I was happy to note I had an OD bowling average of 21.44 and a FC average of 24.69. 25 smash...terrible average but respectable econ IMO of 5. Another bonus is my averaging 19 with the bat in both forms:D

Also congrats to Blewy on his average of 168.67 in 25 smash.

Just a quick question.

Why does Blue play less often as Black, Red and Green?

Is it because we don't want to upstage the others?
Appears to be a scheduling kink. Fear not. If necessary, Blue will make up the games at the end of the season so that they play as much as everyone else.

Interesting looking at some of the stats

Fastest 5d scorers 5 outta the top 7 as Green Players

alot of our bowlers are under 2.5 economy

Keep it up guys :)

some very encouraging signs there for the blues. Im taking wickets in the 5-dayers and have a mad average in one-dayers.

I feel that I am bowling extremely well in the OD form of the game and refuse to count myself out of contention for the CW XI squad.

Some gr8 individual efforts for the Blues and with the likes of Toogood, Stuey, Simon, Jellett, Craig, Liam, Peter, Adam, Tom and myself, we should be a side not to be messed with come finals! Ironically... I named 10 people there and you need 11 - one of our weaknesses this season. We need one more batsman to stand up.

haha and to gloat some more, If you took the four highest ranked bowlers for FC (who play for our native XI), and four bowlers in OD with the best averages, I am in both :D

SO form-wise Im good, but we really need to glue as a team and I believe we can. So bring it on you other not-so-bluely coloured teams :p

Terrible....after having a few too many beers watching Bob, Rose and LoD in fine form yesterday, the ole hangover bug got to us a bit ;). The second inngings from us was terrible from both point of views, the few batsmen who go a start (Indian, Jamie9999999999999, cloete and Majin) couldn't kick on for a big score and the others were just dazzled by Ponting, Pickup & friends. Bowls didn't perform well either:(.

A request Age, can i move back to first change bowler in FC/5D? I haven't done jack opening. Thats if i can keep my possie :(

Brilliant bowling performance Blacks, superb win!

Very happy with my 5 wicket haul in the first innings and that too against my old team, CW Green, it was very sweet to get 5 wickets in the first innings and then 7 for the match.

Also Im thrilled with my 5-day FC Stats, very happy with 64 wickets at 22.50, and honoured to be rated number 3 in the bowling rankings just below Neil Pickup and Martin Saggers.

Special note also to Mr Ponting who had a solid debut for the CW Blacks and as well as BK Smith who played outstandingly for his maiden 100!

Cmon boys, with the International players now gone, we really need to pull ourselves up higher and put in even more.

Well done everybody!

Rated ninth in the batting...I'd better show it. Getting out in the forties resembles last season - and on day 5 I probably shouldn't have opened either, given the situation. :( Two dropped catches doesn't help it. I really wish there was a back-up keeper...

superb century bk, but dont get to used to the number 4 spot, cos i want it back. great to see everyone performing, keeps real pressure on everyone for those spots!!

Very happy with my 5 Day form. My bat ave. of 39.5 is well above what i exspected in my first season. I am not un happy with my 25Smash form as i have only batted once out of matches. But i cant really say the same about OD with no games to date. And with the international boys heading off im looking for a few big games, in ALL forms.

I wonder how many have been talking about the team's performances and how many have been individual players talking about theirselves and ignoring the team?
