But until your captain names an XI, you've not much chance of playing.Dydl said:Wonder how the match against the Colts will turn out.....at least I don't have a "broken foot" anymore...

Argh. Unlucky lads.
Was surprised I played, I thought contracted players couldn't play in this match?

I was commenting on the fact that the powers that be at Black haven't been naming teams consistently. Thus, the same XI as the last FC match will play (except for forced changes).steds said:

Glenn McGrath a #10 batsmen, Tait taken over at #11 and we all know how much effort he puts into batting. *I'll just walk across my crease and get bowled today*Neil Pickup said:

Cricket Web Green vs Cricket Web Blue
at the CWBCC Stadium
In a stunning turnaround, the Greens crumbled to defeat against the Blues, having pressed nicely toward victory to the point. A brave knock from young Currie was terminated just short of a thoroughly deserved maiden FC ton. Batting with the tail, Currie helped save the Blues from 140/6 in their second innings, to reach 270 all out and set a target of 251. He then took the first wicket of the Green second innings, inspiring a dramatic collapse.
The first innings was poised nicely due to two epic innings. First, Dylan Jellett's third FC hundred was his second highest career score, powering a total of 330, rising from the struggles of 97/5.
Andrew Garven then took his cue. Batting aggressively and with no regard for the Blue bowlers, Garven crossed 150 in an unbeaten innings. Just 20 runs stood between the teams, and it was the vast difference in second innings batting that manufactured the result.
In contrast to the lower order determination of Blue, the Greens crumbled entirely from 77/0 and later 124/1, to be dismissed for 187 - 63 runs short of the target.

Cricket Web Colts vs Cricket Web Black
at the Bellerive Oval
The Blacks truly began to look like the champions of old, whilst they scored heavily against the Colts bowlers in the first innings, setting up a comfortable innings victory. Alex Blackman asserted his new-found form with his second hundred in his last 3 FC innings.
His was the primary effort of the Black innings, but Ash Chaulk and Gareth Gooljar stole the show down the order. Chaulk's second FC hundred of the season - his sixth overall - combined with Gooljar's maiden FC fifty in lifting the score from fair to massive - 481 all out after a 123-run partnership for the 9th wicket.
Facing the huge total, the Colts seemed intimidated, and lost wickets at fairly regular intervals. Despite half-centuries from Mamesh and Malthus-Howell, they were made to follow on, behind by 235 runs on first innings.
The second time around, things scarcely improved. Just two players reached double figures in the innings, one of whom was Daniel Towns. Towns batted bravely through the carnage, ending unbeaten as his team curled up for 86 all out.

You've just proved Neil's point perfectly. McGrath takes his batting seriously enough that he's no longer a number 11. Same with Murali and Hoggard.chaminda_00 said:

What an incredible game. Absolutely fitting of 1st vs 2nd on the table, just like our last match against the Greens was. Jellett and Currie were brilliant, especially Currie to explode onto the scene like that and make his first good performance count so much. Patrick bowled brilliantly in the second innings as well.
Absolutely horrible game from me, but I can handle that if we keep winning.

Great win Blue.
Some really amazing performances in this match, particularly from the batsmen. Jellett, Currie (twice) and Fitzsimmons all did extremely well, and Garven for Green. Special mention to Currie though, really made the most of his opportunities with the bat (especially after we were struggling at 7-180) and took an important wicket as well, well-deserved MotM. Unlucky to miss out of the ton though.
Nath was brilliant with the ball in both innings, annihilating the tail in the second to seal the win. Good support from the other bowlers as well. Once again a fairly average performance from me, 4 wickets @ about 30 apiece and a sleep-inducing 22 runs off 160 balls. Happy to play a part in an important win though - if I'm not mistaken that puts us clear first on the table, a position which we should look to maintain.
Keep it up.

Fantastic win Blacks, great effort from everyone
have to say i'm pretty dissapointed that i'm only the 5th choice bowling option even with Neil not playing.

Just a side note, but that win should place the Blues in top spot, albeit with far less bonus points than Green.

Great win, top performances by Currie, Jellett, Patrick and anyone else who deserves, a mention. Another disappointing game for myself though, but a least I didn't drop anything, anyway a great win and top of the table
