Tough loss, but good on Roberts for picking up some wickets. Lets hope we do better against WA.

Not too happy about my own performance though. Ah, well I guess its back to the nets for me.

 

[oz_fan]

Hopefully we can get back on track in the next couple of games. Been happy with my bowling so far but my batting really needs to improve.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Games may be delayed, may not be. We'll see.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Kevin Roberts batting at 11? Disgraceful captaincy.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'll disgrace you in a minute.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

So hungover. WA games will be up this evening. Just delay everything by one day or so.

haha have a big night did you skipper? following in the footsteps of a certain international rival (andrew flintoff).
seriously though...great effort with all the time and effort you put into these warm up games. good stuff...let us know if you need a hand or anything...if i could do up players stats for this tour or anything.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

It'd be good if you could do averages up for me at the end of the tour. Haha, and yeah, a pretty big one.

 

[corza_nz]

haha thats the way. im in the same boat, always have a big one this time of year.
and yeah too easy ill do the averages up at the end.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'll be honest though, I failed to capsize any boats.

Warriors win despite valiant effort from Blacks

Despite a powerful effort from Ash Chaulk, Blacks fell to their 3rd successive loss in Perth today. Gerard Armstrong played in place of Ian Markus, as Ian got gassed and we couldn't wake him up.

 

[James90]

Dire form. Needed Meeks there tbh.

Convincing display gets tour back on track

A clinical all-round display from Black saw a comfortable win for the tourists. Highlights include an amazing cameo from Armstrong towards the end, where he hit 21 off an Edmondson over.

 

[shortpitched713]

Glad to see us get a win finally. Stedman pulling out his Katch impression, but at least he got the runs.

A bit worried about our 4 day form. Pickup and Chaulk gunning it though.

 

[corza_nz]

good win boys. sets us back on track. lets finish the tour strongly now.
hopefully i can get another game in there and some more runs.

 

[ash chaulk]

very nice how much?

 

[oz_fan]

Good win guys. Great batting from Armstrong, Stedman and Blackman. All the bowlers did well. Hopefully we finish the preseason off strongly.
