Cricket Web Blue won by 9 wickets

Man of the match: Craig

Daily Blast Comment: Some of the best batting conditions of the season and it produced an ultimately lopsided contest for the chasing team. Blue bowled outstandingly considering the conditions, then the batsmen clonked the Greens about in making easy of the chase.

Great performance Blues, great to get a win in my first ever game as captain!

Well done the bowlers especially, and the batters did a professional job, so very well done.

Just a quick question about the entire simming... do "we" the players improve our skills?

Yes. This is done by seasonal performances as well as club cricket in the offseason.

 

[Loony BoB]

Actually, I was wondering about that... if we start off with an average of, say, 30 (and are in our first ever CWXI season), how does our average change over time? For example, if the person with average 30 was to get 10 and 10 in his first 5D game, how would you class his average after that game? 10? 20? 30 still? Or is it assumed you've already played a set amount of games? Confusing, I know, but I'm still curious. I hope I made some sense. =x

Averages are only altered (improved or otherwise) at the end of the season and only considering a batsman has played a certain amount of innings or a bowler taken a certain number of wickets. Eventually the simming average will be replaced by the FC and List-A career averages, but that's only after a significant period. Also, averages are sensibly updated.

eg If a batsman averages 200 in 10 innings with 9 not outs and his original simming average was 25, he won't increase at all.

 

[Loony BoB]

Ah, sounds good then.

Not in the mood for full reports today, so I'll do the condensed version. If anyone wants any further details of the matches, just post your request here. Aside from that, use your imagination.

CRICKET WEB GREEN 227/6 50.0 overs
CW BLACK 228/9 42.0 overs

CW Black won by 1 wickets

Man of the match: C Buts

Great cricket from both ends, but the Blacks pulled it out in the end on a slow pitch.

CRICKET WEB RED 314/3 50.0 overs
AUSTRALIA 'A' 216 47.5 overs

Cricket Web Red won by 98 runs

Man of the match: Gibbs N Smith

Wonderful performance from the batsmen and the rest of the players supported well. Good comeback from Steds after an expensive start and Mr Wright, the same.

 

[cbuts]

[Don]

happy b-day majin.enjoy urself and go get laid.well we lost again but it was a great match.looks like the words of viv are starting to sink in.well be winning again soon cuz WE'RE LEAN WE'RE MEAN WERE THE GREEN MACHINE

 

[steds]

Brilliant win Reds!
Perfect innings' from Smith
Superb, Jagaways.
Brutal knock from captain Markus
Deeps added some quick late-innings runs
Then all the bowlers bowled well and kept it tight, Ghansar knocked over the tail, and Vimes, Ghansar and Andre held their catches.

We're winning!!
Something's working, be it the pep talker or the steroids (ooops-shouldn't have said that! )

GO REDS!!!!!

Hmmm.... the CWBCC will have to investigate this whole 'pep talker' scandal.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well played guys, even missing five CWXI stars, the rest of you stand up to the plate.

Respect to Kears and Buts in particular, and to Vish and Ponting for holding their nerves at the end.

 

[Mr. P]

Im glad I survived at the end

Great win Blacks, im happy with my bowling but I question why I bowled 8th? Just wondering...

 

[Neil Pickup]

My suggestion is that Liam was even more stoned than usual whilst simming, hence the lack of effort in the match reports.

Rumour has it that Graham Wagg was waiting outside and getting impatient.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I should probably add "allegedly" on the end of that.

Warwickshire lawyers, I'm joking.

 

[Mister Wright]

Great effort Reds. Good team effort. Great effort Gibs, and Ian is really showing his form as captain. On a personal note, good to hit back with some wickets after a terrible start and good to keep the economy down. Enjoying the role as Vice Captain.

 

[Waughney]

So close again Greens, so close.....

 

[Mister Wright]

happy b-day majin.enjoy urself and go get laid.well we lost again but it was a great match.looks like the words of viv are starting to sink in.well be winning again soon cuz WE'RE LEAN WE'RE MEAN WERE THE GREEN MACHINE

Interesting advice.
