[Simon]

Not the worst display despite the loss, there were some positives to come out of it anyway.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anyone else remember Mamesh calling Patrick crap?

 

[headhunter]

Once again not great for me, good win for us though.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

No need to be embarrased, Green Fans.

Being beaten by the best. $1.01 favourites at the local bookies. If anything, the margin was expected to be bigger. Kind declaration from the Black Captain.

 

[Raghav]

disappointed by the loss.... really good performace from Amir & S. Singh

 

[roseboy64]

Hmm....

 

[Johnners]

Anyone else remember Mamesh calling Patrick crap?

Amir!!! Obviously disappointed by the loss, but a fantastic display by the big man all the same, Well Done

Good to see SJS into the runs early on as well (y)

 

[bryce]

ha, guess thats what happens when you field a XI a couple batsman short and a experimental bowling attack against the top team, are ball by balls available?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

BBB fixed.

 

[Nate]

So these matches count towards FC right?

Haha, nah, total ownage by teh Blax. Great support from our bowling unit and for our top four batsmen to make tons, well... that's just insane. Speirs impressive aswell and all-in-all, this is just looking incredible.

 

[superkingdave]

lolz we have a tail longer than England's so its a good job our top order kicks ass.

Top stuff looking good for the season ahead.

 

[Furball]

I'm not putting in the numbers, granted, but I'm not an 8 or 9 batsman. Should be at 5 or 6.

 

[roseboy64]

You'd have thought Black had just beaten an international side with these comments......

 

[Mister Wright]

Really wish Griffen would sign in.

Not too displeased with the result. Some positive signs to come out of the game.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You'd have thought Black had just beaten an international side with these comments......

Haha what? I'm trolling Mamesh and didn't say anything regarding the rest of the game (and let's face it, Patrick did own). Richards said there's good signs for the season ahead and Patrick's as excitable as a puppy. Heath just being a knob as always.

 

[Indipper]

Good game dudes.

5 catches, no drops, s'alright.

 

[new_age_ar]

Poor effort there, but I guess it just a friendly. Though if we owned Black like that even in just a friendly we would have posted something similar.

Good to see Patrick take some wickets and learning how to bowl on Pickford Res. Nothing worse then a player being medicore his whole career.

Nah he did dominate, but not like the first time he taken my wicket or his ran through a side that I played for.

 

[Matteh]

I'm not putting in the numbers, granted, but I'm not an 8 or 9 batsman. Should be at 5 or 6.

Not like you're Stuart Broad tbf.
