[KennyD]

bowling Kenny was awesome.

It was a toe edge that bounced down off my foot, up onto my helmet, rolled down my shoulder, off my forearm, down onto my gloves, then onto the stumps.

Good win Reds, Well done to andy for his great bowling, and to marc and kenny who batted well, keep up the winning ways fellas

 

[David]

Let's not forget that the Reds struggled last year, and they've lost their best bowler since.

Watt left us?

Watt left us?

David, I'm hurt

 

[David]

David, I'm hurt

Sorry I thought he said our best slogger left us....

 

[steds]

Keeping Bennett to one wicket was a job well done.

To be fair, our keeper did alot of that for you *hides from angry viking*

 

[Dydl]

There were 18 dropped catches in the black vs green match......

 

[Nate]

More in ours!

Dare I say it? We've still got our 2 best bowlers (Watt and Kennett). Kyle, Dave and David are all so good that it's unfair to say one is better than the other. Going by averages, Dave is the best (381 @ 26.86), David is second (409 @ 27.35) and Kyle third (345 @ 32.23).

Kyle was a big loss, but we've got Borcich and Cameron to fill that void left by him. Not quite Test spearheads, but Borcich's 44 wickets @ 24.02 and Cameron's 2 wickets @ 113.00 is enough for me!

[Buddhmaster]

Ok start to the year, horrible by me.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well, we bowled reasonably well for the most part but the batsmen were shocking. A lot rests on the middle order of a side and a vast array of single-figure scores does no-one any good. Serious work to do ahead of the OD game which has disaster written all over it unless we buck our ideas up.

Simon Jones

Chris Butler
David Kearsley
Alex Blackman
Mike Wilson (vc)
Jerome Josy
Callum Thompson
Gareth Gooljar

[ash chaulk]

oooh yeah one day cricket is the best

 

[Neil Pickup]

Probably should clarify the decision on vice-captaincy with Richards missing the OD team - there will be situations when both Dave and I are missing - and those situations are also pretty likely to correspond with International calls for Ash, Kears and/or Chris. Future in mind!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Well bowled Nath, encouraging that you may have got your form back. Now I need to follow suit! And the batsmen did a reasonable job (Popat, Currie, Crampton in particular).

 

[Travis_Teh]

Shocking, my bad.

 

[age_master]

solid start guys, plenty to build on though

Great stuff from Sajith and Weber with the ball, and Resha and Cunningham with the bat

 

[Nate]

No worries Halsey, I`m sure you`ll play in the next FC game. We need everyone in good nick.
