**Dev League Season 7**

[Mister Wright]

yesss well done boys another fine showing in the 25smash... top opening parternship didn't really leave me with much to do, but ey sitting in the pavillion ain't half bad

Yeah, thanks for helping me eat those pies Ian.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Very dissapointed at the result, Greens really need to start to find some consistency...

I think it was a hard fought game really tho blewy.. after 5/5 or 4/4 wins i think.. although that isint really an excuse , we should have fought harder..

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Impressive stuff that...we ran over the Aussies.

Personally: did anything happen in the game?

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Impressed with my own game against the greens. with 13 runs from 4 balls. and fairly economical bowling. but still would like to make a 50 or take a bag of wickets. to stand out as a star player of the future and impress my captain.

 

[superkingdave]

Ha ha the greens were getting a bit above themselves, its nice to bring them back to earth.

GO Black

Pleased with 5-0-24-0 though i would be happier with more wickets, but the team won so thats what matters

 

[cbuts]

flippin ek blacks looks like our players play in patches of form.. 1 player goes bad anotehr steps up and so on and so on.

good win and well batted eclipse.... we still need that 1st ever 100 in 25Smash for black

are you on my msn ash?

 

[Slats4ever]

Yeah, thanks for helping me eat those pies Ian.

it's what smash25's all about isn't it. hitting the ball hard and eating pies

 

[age_master]

alwyas dissapointing when a winning streak ends... but we cant afford to dwell on it. we have tp pick ourselves up again and keep fighting, keep working hard all the time, every ball of every over to win games and win t hem consistantly

 

[Paid The Umpire]

^ yeh keep dreaming

I despise you. I can't spell either mitch.

 

[Nate]

alright Blue, (wow i used a capital... only God usually gets that treatment!!) we have to be the least-talked about team in the business... sometimes i feel like its just bronc and myself out there.

in case you didnt know, i was traded from black back to my dear Blues becuase this is a great team and i admire the people in it. i really wanna perform individually but obviously i suck too much too always do that and since cricket is a team game, i really need my mates to stand out as great cricketers. so please, start performing and keep (start) posting so we can make ourselves a real force.

GOOOOO BLUES!!!!

Nath Patrick out for an indefinate period of time with a sore throat and lack of influence

 

[bugssy]

well done reds, i personally didnt touch the ball so it was a quiet day, great victory boys, we are rreally starting to put it together know.

 

[biased indian]

Neil Pickup registered a king's pair for the 2nd straight game

is this a record???

 

[biased indian]

i missed a couple of days action

and it was great we had a nice run 5 wins in the last 6 games
come on guys we have to just keep on the same form one lose in 6 games is not bad even though 6 out of 6 would have been great

on personal front had been in great form won my first MOM and follwed up with another in the next game and if i am correct has scored atleast 50 in the last four games that i have played

ENGLAND 'A' 235/9 50.0 overs
CRICKET WEB RED 210/7 50.0 overs

England 'A' won by 25 runs

Man of the match: Jamie Troughton

Daily Blast Comment: Poor effort by the Reds with the bat. The bowling was good and Dave and Ghansar were exceptional, but the batsmen let done the effort badly. They never looked settled on a pitch which was admittedly difficult to get in on.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Samuel Vimes - Deeps drove straight, bowler deflected onto the stumps, run out

What is it with reds and idiotic dismissals?

 

[PY]

I love it Blues. I just love it.

Bring it on oh Ginger Wizard.

 

[PY]

In all seriousness, Nath I understand your problems with not much communicating but to be honest, I prefer to let the results do the talking (to varying degrees this season) and we haven't had any people bitching at each other except for who gets to have the last brownie at tea.

*ahem* Captain's Prorogative *ahem*

I will do my best to up my comments but when things aren't totally broke then don't fix them (that may well be a student attitude and not too healthy but what the heck).

Anyway, my addy is in signature if you want to have a chat with me.

 

[steds]

The Reds' inconsistency continues...
...lose, win, lose, win, lose, win, lose...
...we'll win the next one.

Not the best batting performance, but

Difficult to bat on. Pacy with some odd bounce

so it's not entirely our fault

 

[superkingdave]

Its about time the Blues got a taste of the Black magic, we've only played like twice this season? One was a warmup and the other Was the Pickup show - is Halsey ready for another lesson from the spin king?
