I can go ahead and say that my 50th game, versus the reds, was by far my most dissappointing games on a personal level.

Was trying my hardest, thought I was in some decent form, but apparently not. Brilliant team win guys...now we need just one more!

Bizarre season for me personally. I've failed regularly, and only passed 50 on three occasions in 29 innings, but each time I've made a century.

Anyway, one last big effort needed for us to make the final now. If we beat Green we are in, regardless of other results.

Immensely proud of the whole team for stringing together three crunch wins in a row. At the start of this season we were dead and buried after losing all our opening games, and to come back and potentially make the final of both competitions is an unbelievable effort.

I don't see who would miss out, so I expect so. Great team effort in recent games. Timeless game for the final, so the balance of the team could only be called into question in that regard.

Clancroft returns to the Blue first XI for the Oval surface. Currie misses out, but only due to the selection of an additional seamer.

Aah well. I was just hoping to be in the team, considering my form over my last 8 innings or so:

71* and 0*, 95* off 59, 0 and 63, 71 and 0*, 0.

Pretty stop - start though. Why was I dropped in the first place, out of curiosity?

Someone had to make way for the return of Young, as we desperately needed some class at the top of the order (alongside Fuller). On form, it couldn't be Cloete or Goff, and Jellett keeps wicket. He also averages healthily this season. It was down to you, DeSilva or me. DeSilva was in marginally better form and..um....I bowl. :ph34r:

I can't agree with that :p
If we win this one, you and the other less-played players will feature in the final regular season OD. You'll get to press a claim for the final. Granted, the final OD is at the CWBCC Stadium, so you may play ahead of one of the seamers regardless.

We've done incredibly well to come back from our poor start to be in both finals once again (well, once we secure our OD spot anyway). If we play as well as we've been doing in the last few weeks there's every chance that we can win both, go Blue. :)

All I can say is that after my horrible 50th FC game, I am loving life right now.
Blue boys, we struggled at the start horribley, but we grouped together and played some unreal cricket, we deserve the finish that we have had.

Well done! Best of luck to all who are playing the last two one dayers!!

:)
