Coach's Comments:
Great team effort, but the pitch wasn't quite as friendly as we expected. All the batsmen got time in the middle and just about all got some runs under their belt. Craig scored his 10th FC hundred and StUEy got his 6th. They added an FC record 276 for the first wicket, the highest stand for any wicket in CW history.

Big mention of Sam Vimes for his highest FC score. Lots of positives here, albeit against a Kent team lacking Martin Saggers...

Also much respect to Age Master for a brave declaration in seach of a win. Fine stuff from the skipper.

Sad to see that we didn't get quite the breakthroughs we'd like with the ball. Good batting effort though, and a lot of people still pushing hard for batting recognition.

Just hope the next match will be on at more Norwegian-friendly times

Class show of batting strength, well i hope bowling strength will also be that classy once they get a friendly pitch.... I have a query, Will these score be included into the already present career averages from the cw development team season, or will they be separate???

They will be classed separately from the Dev League season 6 averages, but they will count toward career FC avges.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

^ yup just as liam said so..

 

[Slats4ever]

bring on the next one dayer

 

[Yousuf_Youhana]

will it be simmed live?

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Haha yeh, i know im lined up waiting for the livey :P Liam is probly fed up with my antics that he isnt going to do live sims for a while :P

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Alternatively, it could be due to the fact that the game is scheduled for tomorrow.

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Scheduals are a mere guide. When is the Bus Schedual ever right?

Breaking News - Timewell is lucky number 17

Rob Timewell has been called up to the Cricket Web 'A' team as the 17th man. He took 23 OD wickets @ 16.87 this season, but is yet to play an FC game. Timewell's presence in the side will no doubt strengthen the lacking bowling department.

 

[Slats4ever]

Interesting that some OD averages are taken into account when selecting 4 day teams

CW 'A' v Kent

KENT 102 22.1 overs
CRICKET WEB 'A' 103/0 14.5 overs

Cricket Web 'A' won by 10 wickets

Man of the match: Sanz

Coach's Comments:
Heavy cloud cover and finally some bowling conditions, which the seamers enjoyed to the max. Dave, Sanz and Master Blaster were all the bowlers needed, as Kent was knocked back for a paltry 102. The openers then wasted absolutely no time in reaching the tape, making a mockery of the Kent bowling and batting in the process.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Beautiful result for the CW A Boys..

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

A strong bowling performance from us, which is surprising as it has been our batting that has been in form lately. Its a good sign to see.

=)

 

[bugssy]

great win guys
very happy with both bowling and batting and fielding


good solid win

 

[Slats4ever]

that's good charging moose

 

[Tom Halsey]

To be fair, anyone can beat Kent.
