Finished the first quarter pretty well, but since then we've lost 3 and won 1.

FC Changes... Malthus-Howell moves down to the middle order where he did well last season, hopefully he'll find better form there than Resha did. Burke gets a chance to open the batting much like he did at the end of last season, and takes the gloves for the game too. Comley replaces Jack, who he injured.

Ow.........

I had the most dissmisals with the gloves in the comp..........

If I do real well with my batting, can I get them back?

Then again, Howler is back down there, how many more classics can we add to the record boards all time and for the colts?

You have most dismissals, yes, but Burke hasn't played a game yet so of course he can't say the same! As I've said on various occasions before, the fact remains that Burke is simply a better keeper than you are just as you are a better batsman than he is - you can't have the best of both worlds in this sim! I think I said it best when I compared the two of you to Chris Read and Geraint Jones when they competed for the gloves. Jones was a far better batsman but Read was a better keeper, and the whole world knew it. The same goes for yourself and Burke in the Colts. Because you're a better batsman, you'll find your way into the squad a lot easier, so I'm sure you'd rather stay the better bat instead of the better keeper.

Hard loss there guys, we were totallly destroyed, but you know what they say, We'll come out of this one, and win all the next ones.

I didn't do anything . I didn't even know I had a faster delivery. Maybe its just extra determination to try and make the starting 11. I won't deny that i'm happy to make the 11 but it would have been better to make it from a different reason then injurying my fellow team member. Hopefully I can lift my game for the time I now receive in the team.

I liked that record, being head of 2 records is great! Oh well, Nick it to me in the slips then!

(Are keepers that anin't keeping allowed to have normal fielding records? Or is it restriced to non keepers?)

from what i've heard the speedometer didn't pick up the delivery for unexplainable reasons so I imagine it must have been fast to floor Jack. I want to know how it managed to land on the pitch attempting a delivery that quick. Maybe its just playing for the Darters at Heathridge thats given me that quicker delivery

With player nicknames like "Comet" and "Beamer"...

true anything is possible

 

[vic_orthdox]

Think it's important to point out that Comley would have been replacing me anyhows...

 

[Loony BoB]

Should have told him that before you faced him in the nets, Jack.

I'm surprised really because the amount some people talk about how brilliant they are, you'd expect the whole world to think the opposite.

golden duck and 1'fa.
Close.

i know BOO HOO

 

[Burpey]

Good to see I'm playing my first FC of the season. Opening the batting and keeping as well, very involved.

Good luck, Burkey
