its only preseason a time to tune our engines

Nice bright start to pre-season. It'll be nice if we can keep this up all season


...apart from the fielding. Needs to improve. Extremely disappointed to see 3 catches go down off my bowling, with 11 and 1 run out attempt missed in total. I managed to spill one, too. Twelve missed chances in the field would lose us the game against better opposition

Btw, I thought Jellett had been deported?

Oh, and the seasons here Up the mighty Reds!




GO REDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and had the game not been simmed yet, he wouldn't have been in the XI.

I'm sure it was already simmed

You know the 5D final is a "timeless" game. What if it's a tie?

 

[dinu23]

god damn it! AHHHH! we lost to RED!! next match full strength team!

 

[Nate]

Nothing to be too concerned about, we were in it until the final innings really.

Promising stuff from Crampton, great economy by Adam. Fielding a big worry though! Ah well, good effort boys, inexperienced team.

Leading from the front Kyle, inspirational buddy. Just sending out a little message to the rest of CW, we'll be a force to be reckoned with.

As for myself...

Awesome win Reds, good bowling Andy, Nayak is looking the goods.

Well done to the Colts

GO REDS!

 

[NZTailender]

Awesome stuff by our captain there! :o And our batters, making good scores

1 not out...awesome! And happy with my 5 wickets in total..

Extremely proud of the boys for taking on a test-level side and succeeding. A huge win on our first ever game together, and we did it in style. A lot of positives out of that game, but we can't expect things to go our way all the time, and there are things that we'll still need to sharpen up on while we're at it. But an absolutely perfect start for our team, and I look forward to more of the same throughout the season. Good stuff! Mamesh, Hancock, myself, Jasotharan and Nayak all making half centuries (shame Mamesh and Nayak weren't able to make it to 100, they both deserved it) really set us up for this game, and Wright lead by example with good support - all five bowlers used were able to dismiss a batsman. I won't get ahead of myself or let the team do similar just yet, but I have to say it - I'm thrilled with our team's performance, absolutely thrilled. I never dreamed we'd do so well in our first game.

Let's build on this, lads. We've still got a lot to work on, so let's be sure to keep our heads level and concentrate on the next game. The "unknown" aspect of our team won't last forever.

EDIT: Also, congrats to my good friend Resha for managing a half century on her debut for the Greens. Keep it up, but don't expect us Colts to make life easy for you.

I don't have much more to add to this. Great performance from everyone. Great team effort! Let's not get too excited though, we still have a long season ahead of us.

Hey, you leave Gooljar out of this!

hey! lol... well nothing too much to chant about yet but I'll start off the season with one:

Blow Them Away BLACKS!

 

[chaminda_00]

Nice first up win for the Reds there, a good solid performance. Some great bowling there from Nayak and Cameron, hopefully a sign of things to come. Also how many ribs did you break Travis

Well done to the Colts, Thamba you really deserved a hundred there, bad luck mate.

 

[cricketboy29]

Damn good win there for us Reds, we got one up on the blues, which im sure we'll continue to do, as the season progresses :P. Very nice to be in the wickets, first time up, could have done a bit better with the bat, i think, but yeah. Great thing to have a win first up

 

[wrangler203]

Go COLTS!!!!, granted bangladesh arent that great, but hey, we beat them one heckload of a margin. Nearly everyone kicked in and helped, great team effort, methinks. Though, our captain defintely showed what leading from the front means

 

[KennyD]

Btw, I thought Jellett had been deported?

He may well have, for all the good he was.
