Dev League Season 8 (Sign Up Here!)

Awesome win Blue! Great to see the batsmen finally finding some form, and a good bowling effort with the wickets well-spread. Happy with my own performance of 57.5-24-74-6 and 22*, hopefully I might get a place in the OD side again soon.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Feck, that was bad. We should at least have made something out of 120/0 - though I really seemed out of it today, sorry

 

[Mister Wright]

I need to repeat Baby Reds, that we really need a batsman to take the innings by the horns and put up a good innings that everyone can bat around. No need for panic yet, but we can not continue with a losing culture. Both batters and bowlers need to think more about what they are doing. We can not take the good start we have had for granted, nor can we simply rely on the International players when they return.

Still, heads up boys, a return to the winner's circle is just around the corner - I can feel it.

19-4-68-0. I'm sorry team

Don't worry about it - we all have off days - the team is still learning at the moment - and I'm liking the performances some of the less experienced members are turning in.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

We were out of it by the 200+ lead - but better than an innings defeat.

Do you think it would be productive to have an aggressive player opening to complement Haakon?

 

[Hoggy31]

No, the team needs someone to bat around and Hakon is the man.

In a fieldig drill after the Blue win against Red, Nath Patrick successfully injured himself with his butterfingers. The Blue pacer missed a skied catch and was smacked on the head.

He has suffered a concussion and will miss the next two Dev League game days.

LOL! Poor kid!

 

[Nate]

LOL! Poor kid!

arent you one year older than me, kid?
haha these sorta things always seem to happen to me! darn butterfungers
ah well, good luck to the man whom takes my place

the swelling is subsiding

 

[Retox]

I bowled like 5 overs in both innings

 

[KennyD]

arent you one year older than me, kid?

Something like that kid...

Anyway, what should I bring you as you rest up in hospital?

 

[Buddhmaster]

OMG, after a pretty good first innings, we failed again. Lets pick it up boys. Hopefully I can make a great century like mike did.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I bowled like 5 overs in both innings

Any chance of explaining that, Liam?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Any chance of explaining that, Liam?

I'd love to. There was no indication from Black as to bowling tactics etc. for that game. From the previous game it appeared firmly established that Bhatia, Thompson, Wilson, Mohammed, Richards and Hing are considered ahead in the bowling order. With 6 bowlers in rotation, there's always a fresh front-liner and, with wickets needed, that front-liner would typically be called upon to take a wicket.

Simply put, give me bowling instructions! With 7 bowlers in the team, I need bowling instructions.

 

[Loony BoB]

I noticed Nath isn't in the injury thread - will you be updating that thread regularly?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I noticed Nath isn't in the injury thread - will you be updating that thread regularly?

I will when I get into the rhythm of it.

 

[Platinum]

[Tom Halsey]

Loving it Blues... we're back on it.

Lovely bowling from a number, especially happy with my own form too, lovely economy in both innings, with 4-50 from 30 in their 1st dig. Well done team!
