CW Red v CW Black
at the CW Oval
Never undestimate the value of an old fashioned counterattack. Mike Wilson reversed a bowlig fightback by CW Red to a position of complete dominance for Black with another incredible hundred. The consideration that some days they go for you and others they don't was readily apparent when Wilson took the charge to the Red bowlers and found fortune in every move he made.
Richards won the toss at the SCG and decided to bat first on a pitch that would favour the bowlers. The decision proved huge as, despite two early losses, Black piled on to a big first innings total. Two performances were central then - Dubb-Lynch unbeaten nearing his second FC hundred and David Kearsley notching another quality half-century.
In reply Red found runs hard to come by against quality pace bowling delivered by Black. Mørk topscored with gritty determination, but no one truly got in and the Blacks shared the wickets well. With a lead of 177, Black batted again and was soon in trouble at 60/5.
The Reds sensed an opportunity to break back into competition, but Wilson then took up the challenge. On his way to his century he received support from Mohammed and captain Richards with solid innings.
Chasing a huge total on a worn pitch, the Reds stood little chance, yet a select few showed the technical competence to achieve the task. Once more Mørk was the best of the few. As cruel fate would have it, Wilson also took the wickets of Maddocks, Dauth and Dobson to further impose himself on the game.

CW Green v CW Blue
at the PDV Dome
A courageous chase by Cricket Web Blue came up just short as the Greens continued their streak of good cricket with another win. Set 345 for victory, the Blues slumped to 71/4 before a class maiden hundred by Cribb resurected the chase. Cribb formed partnerships with Jellett, Wilshere, Fuller and Halsey and gave his team definite pride, though ultimately in defeat.
Green was simply the better team in the match. They batted first on the bouncy PDV surface and Nicholas Rose and Craig Walsh played aggressive half-centuries at the top to take the shine off the new ball in a flash. The middle order then collapsed, but Jamee Gray crucially put his hand up with the bat for a big half-century to take Green past 300.
When the Blue openers came out to bat, it was readiy evident that Simon Fitzsimmons was a targetted man. His method of facing the barrage of short-pitched bowling was simple - attack. Fitzsimmons and de Silva put together another good opening parnership, but there was little else after the two were separated.
Tarick Weber spun the minds of the Blue batsmen into playing ridiculous shots of suicide, as he went on to take 5 wickets. The Greens took a lead of 146 into their second innings but didn't find life as easy as they would have suspected. Instead they met purposeful bowling by Blue and were limited to 199 all out, largely due to a solid Sajith contribution.
No one could have predicted how huge Sajith's knock would be, but ultimately it seemingly was the difference for Green.
