Seems like I'm starting to become a one-day specialist and Jasorathan is a first-class specialist :p. Hopefully I can score some runs, as well as keep well

Side named for the next one day game against Blue. A reshuffle to the batting order with Mamesh replacing Hancock as opening batsman, McKern also into the side immediately to bolster our bowling.

Good luck everyone.
A good move. But I have some bad news to tell you all.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning (Aus time) for Nelson Bay, NSW. I won't be able to use the internet much whilst up there, so I'll take this opportunity to wish you all good luck and that I'm looking forward to seeing how we go in the two weeks whilst I'm gone.
I don't know if you'll play me or not, but considering that I've been doing okay as a batsman and as a bowler it may very well be worth it!
See you on the other side,
Nick

The side has been named for the game against Green.

Good luck to all those selected.

Injuries have hit us hard so hopefully those players named can step up and take their chances.

Personally I'm disapointed to be missing this match as I always love getting Green captain Garven out, and I'm sure Daniel's lookin forward to playing against his old side.

Very good performance in the last game by the team, a very good win over the Blues who seem like a pretty good side going by early results. Pretty happy with my 50, a lot slower then i like but we'll thats what the team needed and its hard to score at fast rate against the better bowlers im facing in this league. Hopefully as i get more experience i will score faster.

A bit disppionted not to be opening the batting in the next game with Nick, i hope you return from injury soon.

I lead the Colts Dismissals by keeper 6 to 3. And took 5 in one game, if you can do better, I would like to see it, heck, I can't give out Fast Meds when not keeping for this, it's a bummer, but with the highest average in FC for us, I'll be willing to keep my place


Anyway, GO Colts for the next game

Burke keeps in ODs and you kept in FC, its not really surprising that you have more dismissals. I can't even get a bowl with my Right Arm Fast even though im not keeping, which is disappionting, but you can't everything.

Anyway mate you been batting great in FC, hopefully i can support you a bit more and put less pressure on you guys down the order, with some more runs up the order.

Well done again from the Colts...didn't do much personally, but the team did extremely well. Let's keep it up!

Can i ask why Nayak is batting so low, his been one for best batsmen this season and just scored a hundred in the last. Surely he should be moved up the order, probably just behind Dizzy.

On a team note i think we are playing pretty well, we just seem to lack a player that can take us over line when the games get close, hopefully when the captain comes bak he can provide thar role. Our batting seems to be improving as we are getting over 200 and the odd score of 300, probably lacking some more big scores. I should have gone on after my 66 in the last game, but i got a good ball from that Hoy guy, sorry guys.

Our bowling seems to lack a strike bowler but hopefully with Thomas and Wright coming back soon they can fill that role. There have been a lot of positives so far this season even though we have only won a couple games, hopefully we can keep it going.

Please direct these kinds of statements/questions related to selections to the management committee. I know Jack is away but you can email either Daniel or myself. It is better that these things are answered/settled in private. Thanks for your enthusiasm though...keep that up.

Just keep in mind it is early in the season and The Colts' history, so we still assessing everybody's roles within the side. Believe me, we talk constantly about selections.

Even though we ended up losing heavily to Green there were many positives to come out of the match. Great performance from Nayak and McKern on debut.

We can give this compeition a real big shake. :D

Sorry, i thought you only wanted us to email you guys about personal selections i.e your role in the side or if you got dropped, not general selection stuff. But i will do that in the future if you want.

Hard luck, guys, but we gave them a very tough giht, another 50-100 runs, im sure things would have been different. Its very nice, that ive acutally hit some form with the bat. Im sure we'll keep improving Actually, kyle, if you do give an answer to Mamesh's question, could you cc a copy to me?, thanks.

Some very good stuff in that game and some not so good. Still, we aren't rolling over which is good. Disappointed to still not have made my mark with the bat this season...it's taking longer than I expected to find my feet at this level.
