*counts FC wickets this season*superkingdave said:I think you're wrong Sean, the issue is, who is the best spinner from the North West of England in the dev league?
*counts superkingdaves*
*realises that whilst I have one more wicket than Dave, he has better average, economy and strike rates*
*looks around for another spinner from North West to save embarressment from Dave*

CW Red v CW Green
at the CWBCC Stadium
A tremendous exhibition of death bowling by Kyle Wright sought to undermine a 168-run opening partnership between Andrew Garven and centurion Rob Malone (against his former club). The Greens were limited to 250/9 in 50 overs, as Wright inspired a collapse of 9 wickets for 65 runs toward the end.
The Red batting continued with the good impression. Markus gave urgency at the top of the innings, but he and Bennett were dismissed in quick succession. Stedman stayed around though and played the perfect opener's role, whilst Dauth was more aggressive and intent on scoring quickly. At the end Stedman and Dobson were the ones to see their team home.
Man of the Match: KS Wright
CW Blue v CW Black
at the SCG
A very efficient batting performance and early wickets ensured a comfortable win for Black. In chasing 276 for victory, the Blues slid to 35/4 and were forced to rebuild. In the process, the required rate spiralled upward to almost 10 an over needed for the last 15.
In the middle overs, Simon Fitzsimmons and Sean Fuller had consolidated, but they could force on at the almost impossible rate toward the end. The admirable effort fell short by a clear 41 runs.

Our terrible form continues unabated. It's never a good sign when you use eight bowlers in a OD innings.
Fairly pleased with my batting though, given how I have failed in OD games so far this season.

CW Black v CW Red
at the CW Oval
Everything seemed rolling the way of Pickup and his men, when a determined Red effort in front of their home crowd inspired an unlikely win. Black inserted Red in murky conditions that saw most of the first session rained out. When they came to bat in such conditions, the Reds found it difficult to score runs and, despite solid contributions from Mørk, Markus, Dauth, Robbins and Bennett, 205 was the eventual score.
Pickup rediscovered his form and spun out the Reds tail for a hat-trick at the end to close with a very cheap 5-wicket haul.
As confident as ever Black proceeded to a 157-run lead behind half-centuries by Blackman, Kearsley and Hing. With that confidence, Black then reduced Red to 18/1 and looked in complete control. Alas, a will brings a way. Mørk as steadfast as ever anchored in for a 303-ball innings, whilst Markus, Dauth and Dobson compiled sufficiently quicker half-centuries and Red pushed on to 422 with contributions from most everyone.
On this occasion it was Bhatia who dominated with the ball, taking 6 wickets. Red set out to defend 265 runs with most of the final day still remaining. Indeed, a keen competition seemed on the cards. David Kennett quickly changed that.
On his way to 5 wickets, the veteran destroyed the Black top order at 37/5, before Zafar Mohammed and David Kearsley repaired the damage somewhat to 85. Yet on a difficult fifth day wicket, the quality of the Red pace attack continued to account for Black wickets and Red took the win by a comfortable 93 runs.

CW Blue v CW Green
at the CWBCC Stadium
A blitz of 12 wickets for Travis Demeza left the Greens completely stunned as they sunk to a rare defeat in recent weeks. Demeza bowled with genuine pace and aggression and had Green reeling at 66/7. Rob Malone and Tarick Weber played exceptionally well to recover, but Demeza finished with 8 wickets and Green was 203 all out.
The collapse came in response to Blue's 406 all out batting first on the CWBCC wicket. Simon Fitzsimmons and Liam Camps scored half-centuries and put on 118 for the first wicket, then de Silva, Fuller and Popat made contributions toward the total. With a lead of 203, Blue enforced the follow on.
In response Green took the path of aggression, yet only Alex Feeney and Bryce Cunningham registered half-centuries. Having been smashed around the park for the majority of the innings, Demeza returned in his last spell to take 4 wickets and bring the Green innings to a swift close.
This set a meagre target of 42 for Blue, which they achieved shakily whilst losing 4 wickets.

Magnificent effort, team. That second dig was absolutely outstanding - granted, Wilson bowled some absolute tripe, but we saw off the other bowlers well (except Bhatia - who mainly got tail-enders anyway)
