andyc said:Pretty shocking bowling from me there, taking one wicket from 42 overs. Very impressed with my 3* and 21, though.
Pity about the loss though Greens, 461 wasn't that much of a big score to be looking up at in the first innings, and plenty of the batsmen made starts but just couldn't convert. Back to the nets I guess.

Much of the same from Cricket Web Blue, as the return of Andrew Cloete did little to inspire an improved showing and nothing to inspire victory. The Reds piled on 409 runs in the first innings and made the total stand in a comfortable 7-wicket win.
Rob Dauth, Marc Robbins and James Stedman scored half-centuries after Thamba Mamesh's pleasant 48, and the Blue bowlers generally found life difficult, especially debutant Clancroft. In stark contrast, the Red front-line seamers shared 8 wickets and dismissed CW Blue for a paltry 181. Robert Cribb topscored with a fighting 40, but it was not nearly enough and the Blues followed on.
The second time around featured some improvement, but a collapse from 113/2 to 136/5 threatened an innings defeat. Dylan Jellett was in good form again, however, and counterattacked superbly only to fall short of his second consecutive FC ton. David Kennett ended with 5 wickets and the Reds faced a victory target of 45.
Travis Demeza and Eric Clancroft rocked the top order, but it did nothing to deter the victory charge.
