I'll second that...a few runs in both innings, a wicket in each innings without getting pasted, not too bad for a first outing.The Baconator said:

Hey guys, do we have a 'Team song'?
If we don't, I think ours should be 'Blue' by Eiffel 65.
Whatever.

With the trade being officially announced while I was away, I haven't had a proper chance to sign on.
But I am delighted to be at Blue and am hoping for big things from the very talented team. Hopeully we can eperience a fair amount of success this season. Anyway I'm sure I'll fit in well here!

PreSeason Coaching Thoughts:
RGEWS Cribb
- looks good in the nets and has been solid with regular starts in the warmups.
MP Phillips
- generally finding lovely rhythm and consistency of length.
R Harris
- lots of fight shown with the bat, but perhaps a little underbowled heading into the season.
MW de Silva
- stroking the ball nicely, but a bit more concentration required at times.
TJ Demeza
- a decent net session or two. Smooth run up and good pace.
SE Fuller
- a couple of quality innings give an indication of big things. Bowling has been pacy and consistent.
BL Wilshere
- not much form at the moment, but lots of application in the nets is encouraging.
A Crampton
- great look with the bat, but also a few careless shots played in the warmups and practice.
NL Patrick
- not in his best form right now, but is expected to get his rhythm soon with the press of the meaningful matches.
DP Tucker
- very little playing time in the offseason, but looks in useful touch with the bat and ball.
AAA Collins
- the best bowler in the warmups. Consistent line and length and steady all 'round.
D Jellett
- seems somewhat distracted at the crease and behind the stumps atm.
SC Popat
- as expected, looks purposeful at the crease, but not in his best bowling form yet.
AP Cloete
- not at his best, but still far better than most.
SJ Fitzsimmons
- a couple of very mature innings in the warmups, but not quite timing the ball yet.
PE Young
- very little time in the middle and not looking very confident so far.
TC Halsey
- good variations and accuracy as he continues to mature it seems.
LA Camps
- not much practice time, but looking in reasonable for with bat and ball.

Looks to be a very good, balanced squad. I think we'll be the team to beat this year, particularly in the five dayers.
