CW Blue v CW Black
at the SCG
In a tense finish, Black stole victory from the grasp of Blue due to a wonderful innings from allrounder Hing. The result left the Blues somewhat downcast, as they witnessed the game slipping away in the late overs.
Blue was inserted on the SCG pitch and made a good show of the opportunity, with Crampton and Popat starring with the bat after a middle order collapse. The work at the top was done well by de Silva yet again. The ultimate score of 273 all out looked good when debutant Loc was dimissed first ball by the returning Adam Collins.
Mike Wilson kept the runs flowing though, even as he lost partners consistently and Black was 96/5 in the 17th over when he was bowled by Halsey. Dubb-Lynch joined Hing and the two batted purposefully for a half-century stand, but the latter was followed quickly by Thompson in dismissal and the score read 181/7.
Experience Sangrah Bhatia joined Hing and rotated the strike whilst Hing attacked the Blue bowling. Fuller found a thin top-edge to send Hing back just short of his century, but it proved too late, and Delkap hit the winning boundary with a ball to spare.
Man of the Match: RJ Hing
CW Red v CW Green
at the CWBCC Stadium
Continuing their mini-revival, the Greens moved to a well-played win over CW Red in front of their home crowd. Nathan Hoy took 4 wickets and Timewell 2, as the Reds were pegged back from a solid platform of 179/4. Dobson, Maddocks and Stedman all featured well earlier in the innings, but the unlikely star of the latter half was none other than Håkon Mørk.
The Norwegian wicketkeeper cast his OD doubts aside and hit 3 fours and 1 six in a busy half-century - the 4th of his career. Red got to 223 all out and set out to see if that would be enough.
Early wickets fell in the Green chase, then Walsh, Lezama and Feeney played well in the middle order. The score was 158/4 after 35 overs and the game well poised. Rai injected some urgency into the chase with a cameo, but it was Sajith's unbeaten innings which guided the Greens home. Nathan Hoy was also unbeaten in the end, doing his part in a 31-run stand with Sajith.
Defeat, despite Red captain Kyle Wright taking 3 wickets in an economical 10 overs.

Tom Halsey
International Coach
Blues, that was crap. It was harder to lose than to win from where we were, yet we still managed it.

Disapointing Reds. That was a close loss and well fought. There were some great individual performances, however we didn't work as a team. We still lack that player to bat around, that is something we REALLY need to work on. We are showing some signs of improvement, and it is too early to start to worry. I probably didn't rotate the bowlers well enough.
Heads up people.

Even in the darkest hour, hope is always at hand. There's an Albus Dumbledore quote somewhere I want to use here, but I can't think of it right now...
Up the Blacks!

Well not only has Blue lost, but now we must endure Neil's Potter obsession. Dark hour indeed.

Solid win for green, All the bowlers contributed, Hoy took some stick but came back and took 4 wickets, Cunningham, weber and Rai all picked up 1, Feeney bowled with good economy and Timewell picked up 2 wickets with good economy 
The Middle order batted well to see us home pretty comfortably in the end with a couple of overs to spare
certainly a great improvement on ther last time we played red, but we wtill have alot of work to do to reach the top of the table, lets keep the momentum going

Beer Benches Halsey
Legspinner Tom Halsey will miss the next three game days for Cricket Web Blue after he sprained his wrist in a drunken incident. Drowning his sorrows after the Blue loss to Black, Halsey punched a wall and found that he was the one hurting, not the concrete.
Luckily, the wrist is just sprained and not broken, at least according to Neil Pickup's physician.

Very close win for us, but a very important win for our season. Both teams had fairly similar games with the top order of each just about all getting starts. Lets keep the good form up guys!

Terrible loss. We had them seven down with 93 to get, and at one point for the required rate up to nearly 7 and still couldn't finish them off. Some great batting from De Silva, Crampton and Popat and some good bowling from Halsey as usual, but we need to do more if we are going to beat the best sides.
Congratulations also to Hing on his top innings for the Blacks. Well played.
