India A 354 & 385/5d
Australia 'A' 383 & 336/7
Australia 'A' draw with India A

South Africa 'A' 206 & 415
Cricketweb XI Devs 213 & 236
South Africa 'A' won by 172 runs
Man of the match: Martin Van Jaarsveld
Coach's Comments:
4 straight for the Dev's and the same old story- inconsistent bowling, loose batting. There will be a couple of changes ahead of the next game. We play WI 'A' next... hopefully we could get a draw at least. :!( Credit to Marc again.

6/177 is much improved.
It takes time to get back into West Indian conditions after playing on Sri Lanka's dust bowls, and also having so little class support (Mr Ponting excepted) doesn't help.

But it's true. Except that the Dev League is in Australia.bugssy said:

And I replied "But it's true". He was referring to the bowling attack, which generally sucks.

I repeat, your net sessions have not been awe-inspiring. This incessant nagging is beginning to annoy the coach...

Oh well, maybe I should be getting back to my bowling practice since I haven't been awe-inspiring in the last match myself....:rolleyes:

SOUTH AFRICA 'A' 162 48.3 overs
AUSTRALIA 'A' 163/4 33.4 overs
Australia 'A' won by 6 wickets
Man of the match: Simon Katich
Clinical by Australia 'A', massive collapse by SA 'A'.

INDIA A 175 39.1 overs
CRICKETWEB XI DEVS 178/5 33.1 overs
Cricketweb XI Devs won by 5 wickets
Man of the match: Umpire Money
Coach's Comments:
An excellent win for the team. Well bowled and fielded but it's the batting that really impressed me. While Bugssy did not fire this time, we still batted solidly and purposefully and achieved a potentially difficult target. Good knocks by Age Master and R_Powell_fan in particular.

Yes, you're turning into the polar opposite of AA.
Top 5 Differences between AA and Marc
1/ The captain is not stupid enough to bowl you. As such, you complain about being underbowled.
2/ You probably can bowl.
3/ You not only can bat under pressure, but you seem to have some basic batting skill period.
4/ No one wants you dropped (or executed).
5/ You don't have a hope of ever getting your own fan club.

nice to get some runs, though some more 6's would have been nice

Coach's Comments:
The bowling has continued to struggle and the batting has been lacking at times too. The batsmen need to concentrate harder for longer periods and the bowlers need to keep running in.
I restructured the player points system.
