Don't apologise to those buckets. They shouldn't have choked/lost and put their fortune into another teams hands.

Cricket Web Red v Cricket Web Blue
CW Oval
Scorecard
Ball by Ball
Liam Camps jr. warmed up for the one-day final with a five-wicket haul to lead Cricket Web Blue to a comfortable win over Cricket Web Red. The Blues won by 36 runs, and Camps took 5-50 in a stand-out effort.
Sean Fuller shot out of the blocks after the Blues were inserted. He played his shots, though he lost partners at an alarming rate. Camps was run out before he had faced a ball, then David Kennett quickly removed Dinu DeSilva (9) and Pete Young (6). And when Fuller played a delivery onto his stumps, Kennett had his third wicket and CW Blue struggled at 50-4. It was a strange spell by Kennett, who bowled several loose balls but mixed in some excellent deliveries and looked very threatening, even as he gave up almost 7 runs per over.
Revival for CW Blue came in the person of Alex Crampton, ably supported by Thamba Mamesh. Again Mamesh settled in for the unorthodox role of anchor, and batted 86 balls for his 48 runs. But although Crampton too started slowly, taking 75 balls to score his first 40 runs, he battled himself into flowing form. He took 44 balls to score his next 49 runs, and lost the companionship of Mamesh immediately after. Stephen Young took his place, but Crampton was still demanded to play the starring role in pressing on to a competitive total. After he was stranded in the 90s for a while, he raised his hundred in the 48th over.
The next over Travis Demeza smacked Dave Watt down the ground for an enormous six, then made sure that the bowler understood the gravity of the blow. Crampton was out to the last ball of the innings, and CW Blue finished on a tidy 245-9. Kennett too 4 for 49 and shared 7 wickets with his new ball partner, Watt.
CW Blue began the second innings in spectacular fashion with the wicket of Matt Luff a ball in. Camps took the wicket and triggered a top order collapse. Within 7 overs the Reds lost 4 wickets for 32 runs, and 3 overs later David Kearsley was dropped by Stephen Young at short cover. But he did little to make his fortune count, edging Demeza to backward point when he had scored 24. To that point the Reds had kept up with the required run rate, but Manan Shah combined with his captain to apply pressure with some surprisingly accurate bowling. The pressure told on Bennett, as he cut a wide ball from Shah into the hands of Camps, and the required rate climbed over 6.
The hopes of the Reds hinged on the innings of Kenny Dobson. And though he batted into the 49th over, he was last out as the Blues sealed a comfortable win. The seamers were exceptional at the death, slowing Dobson significantly and reducing the score to 159-9. Batting with a mature approach, Watt supported Dobson in a partnership of 50 and supplied some respectability to the end score.
Cricket Web Blue innings 245-9 (50 overs)
AJ Crampton 104 (144), T Mamesh 48 (86), SE Fuller 30 (23)

Cricket Web Colts v Cricket Web Black
Fardin Qayyumi CC
Scorecard
Ball by Ball
Cricket Web Colts finished their one-day season, remaining the whipping boys of Cricket Web Black and experiencing another heavy defeat. The improvements of the bowlers were long forgotten, as the Blacks posted 328-3 in their matchwinning charge.
Only 19 runs were scored off the first 6 overs, then Ash Chaulk kicked off the attack with a six and a four against Mike Wilson in the seventh. His bold strokeplay inspired a welcome hint at form for the struggling James Stedman, and he went on to score 32 from 46 balls. At 86 Stedman was first out, missing a Jack McNamara arm ball and losing his offbail. The wicket ended the 15th over, so the Colts took the final powerplay immediately. The Blacks then scored 46 from the next 5 overs and maximized on the Colts' decision.
The run rate slowed in the middle overs, but still ticked along briskly enough to maintain an average of well over 6 per over. Chaulk lifted Wilson back over his head to get to a century from 93 balls, and hit a McNamara full toss deep over midwicket an over later. With 126 to his name he played a tired swipe at Bochat and provided him with an easy return catch. But to the horror of the home side, Alex Blackman looked an ample replacement. His first real sign of aggression was against McNamara, hitting him a four and a towering six in the 43rd over. He then pushed Cloete hard for a third run off Bochat, encouraging him to a brilliant 89-ball ton in the process.
Largely through the efforts of Bochat, the Colts fought back to control the last few overs of the innings, but at 328-3, CW Black looked to have far greater than required. And their turn at the crease was hardly eased by the advent of the floodlights. The ball swung sufficiently to encourage the new ball bowlers, though they did not break through until the 10th over. Nath Patrick bowled Jennifer Law for 19, then snared Wilson (5) caught behind in his next over. By the end of the 12th over, the required run rate had passed 7.5, and when Chris Butler played around a low full toss, it had crossed 8. George Roberts was the successful bowler, at the start of an impressive comeback spell of 3-50.
The Black spinners shared 6 wickets and broke through regularly enough to ensure that the Colts were never in the game. Will Kerr was the highest scorer with 60, but he took 100 balls to score it. The most exciting innings came from Tarick Weber. A 23-ball knock of 35 including 3 fours and 2 sixes, though it was a futile exercise outside of personal acclaim. The Colts were all out in 45.2 overs, losing by 108 runs.
Cricket Web Black innings 328-3 (50 overs)
AP Chaulk 126 (115), AP Cloete 109 (97), AJ Blackman 42* (33)
T Bochat 2-61 (10)
Cricket Web Colts innings 220 (45.2 overs)
WA Kerr 60 (100), TV Weber 35 (23), S Jasotharan 30 (42)

Cricket Web Black won by 108 runs.

Cricket Web Green v Masters XI
CWBCC Stadium
Scorecard
Ball by Ball
As the game wore on at the CWBCC Stadium, slower bowlers dominated, and the Masters XI successfully defended 205 by 31 runs. The batsmen struggled to dispatch the spinners on a slow wicket, and even Ed Smith was effective for the Masters, bowling medium pace to matchwinning effect.
Xavier Rose bowled beautifully in the first innings. The CW XI fast bowler took 3-25 in 10 tight overs and set the Masters back at the start of their innings. Brian Lara scored a classy 53 in the middle order, but just as he threatened to take control of the innings, he chipped a Cunningham slower ball to square leg. Paddy Gundry struggled to find his length, forcing Martyn Corrin to compensate with an exceptional spell in support of Tom Halsey. The pair shared 4 wickets and were crucial to bowling the Masters out for 205.
The total seemed within reach, given the prestigious form of the CW Green top order this season. But the Masters used the conditions well enough to hinder the form batsmen and took 3 wickets for 63 runs to start. It was quickly apparent that the chase would be a lot harder than anticipated. The pitch got increasingly difficult for batsmen as the innings wore on. The slow surface accounted for several shots out of frustration, with Nick Scott alone standing firm at the crease.
His vigil finally came to an end through a sharp slip catch by Inzamam-ul-Haq. Scott was out for 59 and the next ball Benkenstein should have had Halsey out, if not for the misfield of Lara in the covers. But Halsey only got as far as 2 when he was the second victim of Smith's. CW Green needed 65 from as many balls, though they appeared hopeless against Benkenstein and Smith, struggling through to the 49th over and 174 all out. Nixon McLean cashed in on the desperation at the end, improving his figures to 4-27.

Sealed another finals showing, awseome.
Alex is a jet, and Liam's been unstoppable this season with both bat and ball (lucky he didn't face a ball or he would've made a ton).
Stoked with my economy and the overall bowling unit.

The one-day final will be played tomorrow and the first-class final the day after. I'd like to make them live sims, so can people let me know what times they'd prefer. I working during the day tomorrow, so it would ultimately depend on that. Still, let's hear some times and then I'll work my schedule around them.
