The Red Thread

The time it took is a positive in itself as it made the draw achievable.

 

[KennyD]

Um - news flash - me and Kenny hung on for the draw (with some help from the rest of the order)

Nah, it was all you and me man.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Might as well have been a loss - I can't see anything positive from letting them get 1/216 dec.

1) Tying them down - important when you've got a captain who's on the defensive after a silly declaration earlier on
2) We made the draw, which means we stay ahead of Blue in FC for the time being - and that in itself is an achievement. Liam's still postponing the internationals, though, so that Cloete and Fitzsimmons can get as much time for Blue as possible

I hope that was a form return...

Heh.

1. You're assuming they'll be selected.
2. The internationals will begin when Reuben is settled back in New Zealand and providing I can work around my exams, which start the week after next.

You're too damn reasonable. This is the Red thread, it's a place for controversy and dreaming...

This needed to be quoted.

 

[James90]

Aagh my average, drop me down the order and save my career

 

[Robertinho]

Keep me at 3! A 79 in the last match, some hope!

 

[Slats4ever]

yeah i reckon u're a top od batsman.. i'm looking forward to getting back in and getting some partnerships with u

 

[Hoggy31]

Lets get some talk going in here Reds...

 

[marc71178]

After my long break, I am now back at the helm guys:

The next FC side has been decided on, and a couple of changes in the order and the like:

Mork (wk)
Ghansar
Dauth
Dobson
Robbins (c)
Markus
Bennett
Borcich
Kennett
Watt
Wright

4 specialist pacemen here...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's a lot of faith in Bennett's batting. Someone's under pressure to step up now.

 

[marc71178]

He came through with flying colours in OD when we asked him to perform!

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Hopefully the 4 prong seam onslaught will be exciting for the fans to watch.

IMO it is worth a shot, given our recent results. We know Bennett can stick around in his batting its his chance to shine and have a good knock with the promotion and spend some time out in the middle.

Come on boys, lets turn our form around.

*Gulp!*

thankyou, I'd like to think I'm of some use

didn't quite work out like that, but sh*t happens

Hopefully the 4 prong seam onslaught will be exciting for the fans to watch.

yeah. Watt, Kennett, Wright and Borcich weaving a path of destruction through batsmen's helmets and stumps, taking no prisoners

 

[steds]

Go Reds!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[James90]

Umm I think you misspelled Stedman. No my dropping was probably fair enough, I haven't hit a fifty for 3 weeks. I do however think I was hard done by in the bowling department. I'm averaging 23.5 ffs

Fear not mate, it wasn't personal - we were just trying other things and experimenting a little bit. Chin up James

You've been a rarely used bowler because of the specialists, and when we've got so many good pacemen all fit at the same time, it seems a shame not to use them!
