He just isn't use to competition from others saying they didn't have a good game because they are missing a few players.cricketboy29 said:

Cricket Web Black vs Cricket Web Red
at the Pickford Reserve
It was a moment for a most remarkable individual effort during the Red second innings against Black. Despite a lead of 151 having been secured, the game was well-poised when the Red score collapsed to 55/3. A cameo from Ian Markus partnered Thamba Mamesh, but when the eight wicket fell, the lead was just 266 runs and the score 115.
The Blacks had fought hard to get themselves back into the game, no less than Nathan Hoy, who claimed the second first-class hat-trick of the season. The former Green quickie took the wickets of Dobson, Borcich and Loganathan, then was held up by the Red skipper, Dave Watt.
The magnitude of the innings that he proceeded to play was near immeasurable, though clearly overshadowed by the utter genius at the other end. Mamesh stroked the ball with elegance and class becoming of a veteran, and tackled the difficult batting conditions with assurance and courage.
He was finally out to George Roberts to end the innings, but had added 90 with his captain in a crucial stand.
Deflated and weary, the Blacks stuggled for the second time in the match against the Red seamers. Dave Watt sent shockwaves through the top order, but David Kennett followed up his first innings 6-for with 5 more wickets and pushed the result beyond any question.
The lower order and tail-end batsmen for CW Black were purposeful in their stance, but it only delayed the inevitable.

Cricket Web Blue vs Cricket Web Colts
at Goffmouth Park
Staying true to the heroic theme of the round, Shan Jasotharan followed up his maiden international ton with a match-winning unbeaten effort for his first-class team. His hundred came from just 90 balls and was essential in the chase of 201 for victory, after the Colts had faltered at 10/3.
Partnered by Daniel Towns in the initial recovery, Jasotharan played with caution despite the flair and quick scoring he typically associates with. The innings stole what seemed on course to be a rermarkable come-from-behind victory for the Blues. Credit also to James Malthus-Howell and Nick Hancock, who played the game of support and strike rotation.
The Blues won the toss and batted first on the small ground, but terrible running between the wickets accounted for all of the top three, including the topscorer for the innings. It was a catastrophic batting effort in the way that batsmen got in and then got out.
Following the same theme, the Colts managed to get starts and then perish to loose shots. However, they held together longer than their counterparts, and took a solid lead of 85. Daniel Rai's innings was key, coming to the crease at 220/6, when the lead was just 11 and the tail exposed.
The Blue openers played positively to try to negotiate the deficit, and looked in good shape at 92/0. Young then top-edged a sweep shot to be caught at short fine leg, and the innings came undone once more. Dinu DeSilva followed up his first innings 87 with another impressive start, but was taken behind off a Thomas beauty. Sean Fuller and Ben Wilshere both looked to have gotten in on the worn pitch, then fell to the Colts spinners, who shared 6 wickets.
It took a determined, if chancy, innings from Tom Halsey to get to a lead of 200, and Nath Patrick and Adam Collins supported well in terms of crease occupation.
Set the interesting target of 201, the Colts were shaken by pace of Demeza and accuracy of Patrick. The pitch was doing no favours, but when Towns and Jasotharan got themselves in, the momentum swung decisively.

Nice win there by the Reds, the batsmen really stood up and and quailty bowling by the seamers to back them up. Gutted with my performance, pretty pathetic, back to the Jets i think, Sean back next game if im not miss-taken.
All u19 players could have played this round, next round the youth test players are out. Better get down to selecting the side then.

This is a new game day, so all players were available. No team was named (by anyone) though, so the last team was played again (except for Kearsley). Neil may argue that he didn't get a chance to name a team, but he was the first to reply to the last results, which were posted at midday yesterday.Right arm fast said:
These games were simmed about 11 hours later. Admittedly I've been behind schedule, but life has been consumed with intense video editing, voice-over recording, and some personal stress. Apologies. I'm trying to get things back on track as soon as possible.

Colts batsman in motorcycle accident
Arunava Das was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident on the A23 earlier today. Eyewitnesses indicate that a man with gorgeous blonde hair smashed into the side of Das' bicycle whilst he was attempting to cross the highway.
Both eyewitnesses later identified the motorcyclist as Brett Lee. They then identified Das as "lame". Das will miss 11 game days with a fractured wrist.

another good win. on a personal note i've gotta turn these starts into scores soon. I've had a few matches lately when I've started well but haven't gone on with it.

Gaaaah! Nathan the all-mighty container. Can`t by a wicket. At least I`ve got Burpey`s number. The OD game was very close, but the Black`s opening partnership and early strikes with the ball decided our fate. And the FC game was a shocker. Running between the wickets was dreadful, and then Trav, Adam and I were woeful. Absolutely not good enough.
Hopefully we can improve, I know I`ve still got a lot to do. Keep it up Blue.
