I think that was what we needed to win - as shown, good thing everyone forgot about my 2 (13) at the end!steds said:Was it Håkon who said summat about Law and Dauth firing? He sees the future!

To sum up our latest performance, I will use a quote.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Thats Merissa, Season Two, Ep One from the OC. Sounds bout the same as well.
My opening spell smelt, I bowled too many extras and my last over completely sucked. Stoked to take a catch and also with my batting, but even then I couldnt go on with it!!
Some positives there for the team and for myself, but not quite doing the job
Keep trying!
My heart goes out to those injured for extensive periods of time.

We seem to be in a little bit of a form slump. But it's not too bad, because we are atleast putting up good efforts and not being thrashed. There was a good partnership between Wilson and I, but I was disapointed that neither of us could go all the way and score a big ton.

I agree with Marc. Confidence and form is playing a big role atm. The teams that started well have the form and the the teams that didn't are playing catch up.

Well done Reds. Brilliant effort. Although Bennett didn't go on to get that big score which could have pushed us well over 250, I am pleased we got off to a good start. All our bowlers contributed and everyone put in a great team effort.
Keep it up Reds, this is great.

Delkap's unfortunate breakage means a tough selection call for the next four-dayer. He'd probably have replaced Dylan, who the sim doesn't seem to like, now it's a straight pick between retaining Dylan - who in all honesty won't see much action at the PDV, going with Chris Hinton or bringing back Ferd.
Any suggestions, Blacks? At present, I'm tending toward Ferd to join Austin at the top of the order, with DYDL dropping down to the middle order.

Thursday 3rd February
CW Black v CW Blue
at the PDV Dome
A classy hundred from in-form Rob Hing led the way for Black as they built up a first innings score sufficient to knock Blue over and then enforce the follow on. Still, unlike previous games this season, the Blue batting did not fold. Instead it was aggressive and purposeful in recovery. Debutant de Silva marked an excellent debut with a maiden half-century in adding 106 runs with Fitzsimmons.
It was the innings of Blue captain Simon Fitzsimmons which kept the competition alive though. Some 22 boundaries and 1 six were inked into the scorebook as the Aussie crossed 150 for the first time in his career. The epic innings was ended late on the third day when played a tired stroke at an offstump delivery from Bhatia.
Chasing 141 for victory, Black met early setbacks with Loc failing to get in once more, but Kearsley and Blackman came to the rescue and set up an easy win. From a Blue perspective, the game was lost in the first innings. Despite starts from deSilva, Wilshere and Jellett, a 5-wicket burst by Sangrah Bhatia was inspiration enough to keep the total to just 154.

CW Green v CW Red
at the CW Oval
Following a rivalry of words earlier in the season and a huge victory for Red in their first meeting, Cricket Web Green bounced back strongly at the Oval. Continuing with some impressive momentum, the Green confidence was manifested in the batting of one man - Nicholas Rose. The youngster oozed class in scoring a massive hundred.
He was dropped on 84 and 147, but the innings was largely magnificent. Half-centuries also came for Cunningham and Weber (maiden) and the Reds were left exhausted, as only Kyle Wright and Nick Borcich were rewarded as such for their efforts.
Starting their innings in the last session of the second day, the Red problems were quickly compounded. They lost 6 key wickets before the close in the face of an exceptional spell of bowling, shared between Nathon Hoy and Rob Timewell - 19 overs between them on the trot.
The two continued to bowl in tandem in the morning session and delivered a further 19 overs, though only for one more wicket. Indeed, Iyer was a model of concentration and played a quality unbeaten half-century whilst the wickets fell around him. Credit also to Sean Bennett for a decent showing of resistance.
With 265 runs in the bank after the first innings, Andrew Garven had little hesitation in sending the Reds in once more. An early run out of key batsman Mørk kept the momentum with Green and, despite valiant attempts from Whelan, Maddocks and Dobson, the Reds never gained a foot hold. Timewell followed up his spectacular showing against the Blues with 7 more wickets, but it was Rose who received Man of the Match honours.

Hello. Wake up. I never take suicidal singles - why the hell was I run out...
Ashamed of that performance. We're back to last season, it seems.
