The Colts Thread

Excellent win guys, always love to beat Black. Let's make sure we go 3-0 for OD before the bye.

The next OD side has been named, with just one change of McNamara for Rai.

Rai shouldn't be too disheartened, I'm sure more chances will come for him during the season, however with our lower order not required as such thus far this season and Rai only taking one wicket, we thought McNamara deserved a chance.

Good luck to all selected.

Colts Player ratings for game against Black

S.G. Fitzsimmons: Combined with 'Howler' for an important opening partnership in the first innings. Would be disapointed with a duck in the second innings with not many required, but looks in very good form. 6/10

J.B. Malthus: Although 'Howler' has yet to string some big scores together, he looks a much improved player. Got himslef into a position in both innings to get a big score, but just gettting out at the wrong time. For his sake and the sake of the Colts he must be hoping he's not wasting his good form. 5/10

M. Hopgood: Followed on from his good form in the one dayers with a neat 47 in the first innings, and it was in good time also. Would be disapointed he didn't go on with it in the second innings and guide the Colts home, but a much more impressive effort from the rookie. 4/10

P. Bharat: Yet, another batsperson who made a good start but didn't convert to big figures, however was involved in an important partnership. Looks to be building her form nicely, will be disapointed with the second innings duck. 4/10

S. Jasotharan: Certainly the form batsman of the league. And will be asking questions of the international selectors come the home season, certainly a very good chance of becoming the international one day wicket keeper, and although it will be hard for the selectors to drop Mork, there could be a place found for 'Jaso' as a batsman alone in the test side. However, he will have to keep his form up for the selectors to take notice, and the Colts will be in a fantastic position if he does. 8/10

W.A. Kerr: The rookie has yet to find his feet with the bat at this level in both forms of the game. He'll be disapointed he made it to double figures and didn't really go on with it. It's a long season and plenty of time for the youngster to adjust. 1/10

M.W. Wilson: Not Wilson's best performance of the season, but he did ensure, along with 'Jaso', that the Colts would get home in the second innings. 3/10

N.R. Hancock: Hancock's 31* in the first innings was crucial for the Colts' first innings lead. Didn't have as much impact with the ball has he has in previous matches, but contributed well. 4/10

T.V. Weber: Won the game for the Colts. Weber has probably had better bowling statistics in his career, but probably has never had such an impact on a match. He ensured the Black top order, after a good start, weren't allowed to set the Colts a challenging second innings target. 9/10

K.S. Wright: Having a better team, and concentrating more on winning games than having to bowl to win, the Colts captain doesn't seem the same bowler has he has been in previous seasons. This was certainly is finest performance of the season. Four wickets in the first innings and one in the second. His experienced bowling ensured, batsman who had gotten starts were out in the first innings. He looks like his bowling is improving with every match. 7/10

G.M. Thomas: One has to stain one's brain to remember the last time Thomas had a bad bowling performance. He again contributed with crucial wickets in each innings. Is in spectacular form. 7/10

Player points:

T.V. Weber 3
S. Jasotharan 2 (5)
K.S. Wright 1

Yeah not too disappointed with that, been bowling crap so it's fair play. No doubt Jack will do the job well as always. :)
 

Loony BoB

International Captain
Just so everyone is aware, Resha contacted myself, Dan and I believe Liam as well to advise us that she won't be online much in the near future as she's concentrating on her exams. She'll hopefully be back with us before too long, but she didn't give any timeframe to me so I'm not sure.

Very disapointed with that loss. It looks like we got a little too complacent. We now have a bit of a rest with the bye. I don't think we need to look at too much, these things sometimes happen in the one day format, we just have to remember that we can't take our good form for granted.

Colts player ratings for OD game v Black

S. Jasotharan: Brought back down to earth with his first failure of the sesaon; a second ball duck. 0/10

M. Hopgood: Hopgood's first failure in the one day format, did slightly better than 'Jaso' facing one more ball and scoring one more run. 0.5/10

A.S. Das: Needs runs to stay in the side when the international players return. Is he feeling the pressure? 1/10

P. Bharat: Even with her Superwoman like powers which are capable of digging the Colts out of any dire situation, this was beyond her. The only one to show any determination with the bat. 7/10

S.G. Fitzsimmons: Tried his best to build a recovery with Bharat, but the side was already in a big hole, and the task was too much by that stage. Looks to be settling into his middle order role nicely. 4/10

W.A. Kerr: A run out was the last thing the young rookie needed. He now has three failures from three games. 1/10

M.W. Wilson: Was the best of the quicker men, and batted well in a losing cuase. 4/10

N.R. Hancock: Was expensive with the ball, and tried to hold things together with the bat. 4/10

J.P. McNamara: In his first game of the season, he was the only one to show any fight. Managed the only two wickets, and kept things tight after an expensive start. 7/10

K.S. Wright: Not the best game for the Colts captain. Doesn't mind if he performs poorly and the team wins, but for him to perform poorly and the team lose, he doesn't like that. 0/10

M. Shah: Has shown an ability to bowl well at the death, but is still yet to find the wicket taking striking ability that would make him almost the perfect one day bowler for the Colts. 2/10

Player points:

J.P. McNamara 3
P. Bharat 2 (4)
S.G. Fitzsimmons 1
