[Neil Pickup]

Could this be the most unlikely title charge of all time?

We've got the experience, we've got the talent, we know how to take out finals... Black for the OD crown!

 

[KennyD]

Rob! I could lose alot of money because of your inavailability!

Oh, and the team will suffer too.

[FaaipDeOiad]

Another excellent win. We should make both finals from here.

 

[Simon]

solid effort guys, a game we expected to win but still had to get the job done...

 

[kears_falcon_9]

WOAH go Black.. finals here we come. (hopefully)

 

[Nate]

Excellent win fellas. Absolutely demolished their batting, Liam the star. I`m very happy with two top-order wickets, but even better is the win. Let`s take out the titles, and don`t worry Tom, I`m sure you`ll get a bowl next game.

Cricket Web Red vs Cricket Web Green
at the CW Oval

There was no room for any more pressure, and yet Rob Malone played the One Day innings of his career. In an almost must-win game for both sides, and playing in front of the opposition crowd, Malone scored an unbeaten century, and a career high.

The Greens charged to 279/3 in 50 overs, and aside from a heroic knock from Ian Markus, the Reds never seemed in the chase, on a pitch which offered assistance to the seamers. The win places Green that much closer to the OD final, as they remain in a position to potentially take the top OD spot.

For the Reds, the season is officially over in terms of trophy challenge. With 5 consecutive OD losses down the stretch, it's a disappointment to say the least, especially considering the 5 consecutive wins which immediately preceded it.

CW Green 279/3 (50 overs)
CW Red 220 ao (47.1 overs)

CW Green won by 59 runs
Man of the Match: RJ Malone

Lots of results have to fall the way of Black for a final birth now.

After my average of 2 wickets per game in FC cricket, I don't deserve it!

Er, how come it says I was opening the batting when it was Feeney who was picked for that? xD glitch.

Good win otherwise, Greens, Malone batted like a king, and a nicely paced half century from the skipper. Rose bowled excellently as did Hoy, and all the boys contributed with wickets. Great game for us at a crucial point in the season.

 

[Kweek]

Malone you legand!!!!! well done green!!
Hoy,rose well done too! and skippaaah well supported.

No glitch. Feeney is injured and you were 12th man. The selectors would do well not to pick injured players.

This applies to Red too. Dauth is injured.

 

[Majin]

Ah right, fair enough. How many other instances in dev league have there been where a player opens the batting in the same season as batting number 11? B)
