The Blue Thread

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Hoping to focus on my batting and fielding this year, on my way to a dramatic return to the Test team as specialist...fielder.

 

[NZTailender]

Looking forward to the season opener. Should be good.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I'd destroy the dressing room at this point, but I see Trav has been through already.

 

[chaminda_00]

Yeah that was poor.

 

[Noble One]

Disappointing performance from Blue. Pre-season games indicated that the batting was very strong. Place today’s performance down as an abnormality hopefully.

 

[Travis_Teh]

Yep, very woeful. Top order on notice

OD vs Black

Bats very deep. Many bowling options. I like it.

This season i'm going to be running a Captain's Player of the Season (as voted by me) and also a points system that'll rate players on how well they've done based upon their actual stats.

As such: FC RD 1 (as ****house as that was )

3 M Shah &
2 TJ Demeza - for the only bowlers to arrive at the game.
1 JTR Crowther - for a 50 on debut from number 10 - very impressive.

that was dissapointing.. cant win after a first innings like that. still a long way to go.. heads up!
looking forward to the OD.

Love that I'm bowling first-change. Wickets and runs galore!

Don't worry, Chaulk and Stedman will still be in when you come on to bowl.

ya... now you can crawl back to your hole...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

At least you agree with me.

Well I did top score in the pre-season...just saying

Seriously though that wasn;t a greta start, let's hope we can bounce back and the top order can find some form.

 

[dinu23]

pathetic batting display that!

 

[Noble One]

Very excited to have taken the new ball on my debut (even if I bowled poorly, needed more runs to work with).

 

[Travis_Teh]

G, do you prefer first change or opening? Let us know.

Okay, another batting debacle.

Captains Votes OD v Black

3 Fuller - started well, won the toss and batted brilliantly - turned to **** thereafter;
2 Camps - good opening stand with Sean. Could've done more with the ball, however was against pure class;
1 Sriram - Kept it tight.

Generally other than Fuller, there wasn't a great deal of positives. As Tharmi said, there's room to improve.

When's our next game and when will i get a go at the other team's.

 

[NUFAN]

What a load of bollocks.

Monday, another OD'er.

I'd say you'll be up for a bit of FC this season. Look similar to the infamous AAA Collins.

 

[Agent TBY]

Either will do. IIRC, I keep it tight while opening, but I take a lot more wickets bowling first-change while not being all that economical.

You're free to bowl me whenever, as it depends on team balance anyway.
