The Colts Thread

[Retox]

Congratulations to Cole on his debut

We felt there wasn't a need for major changes, just a tweaking of the squad. However, a few players will need to improve their performances, to keep their names out of the selection meetings.

Thank you I hope I do the colts name proud.

Congratz Cole hope you do well

Well done mate, best of luck.

Thank you I hope I do the colts name proud.

No doubt you will. Good luck my man.

You're unfortunately in a bit of a no mans land at the moment Nick. Batting at 8 and not getting many overs. Currently looking at this and making plans to change that...

Yeah, I see what youve suggested. Hopefully the bowling clicks - I honestly reckon you can fill that spot better.

 

[Loony BoB]

To be fair, when Nick has bowled, he's taken wickets.

Yeah, but to also be fair, my role isnt to take wickets - they're a bonus at best - it's to make runs, and we have better bowlers playing grade cricket tbh.

 

[NZTailender]

Your role is to do both tbh.

 

[chooka_nick]

My 35.0 overs this year begs to differ

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Shows how well the other bowlers have been hunting for the most part.

EDIT: And it's 40 overs now. FC stats updated btw.

 

[Retox]

Looking forward to my OD debut. Hopefully it as good (or better) as my FC debut.

 

[Mister Wright]

Excellent win in the last game.

 

[Retox]

Good win guys, seems everyone is doing something it just isn't a one man show.

You had a solid debut, mate. Good stuff.

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah, Cole's had a great start in both forms. Really handy considering we have no batting reserves left.

 

[Retox]

50 in each game regardless of format hope I can keep this going and score the big runs

 

[NZTailender]

Max and Rai make way for the returning internationals. Cole and Fitzsimmons were impressive enough to keep their spot, while Kerr slots down to first drop.

The OD bowling is looking really good at the moment. Spinks leading the way with 15 wickets @ 16.53.

You're doing fine mate, trust me.

 

[NZTailender]

Would've killed for one of our bowlers to average 31 with the ball last season in one day cricket.
