Here are the official statistics, updated after 9th of December

(hope my copy-and-paste tactic works, otherwise I'm gonna have to give up this job - seems OK to me though )

 

[Jamee999]

A nice second innings 50

 

[age_master]

Man of the match: Eyes_Only

hmm

i think that innings is about the slowest i have ever scored, felt like Nasser Hussain had i made it to 50 i think it would have been the 2nd slowest ever.

 

[bugssy]

some good individual performances and some good team performances, good to see everyone chipping in here and there it really sets us up for yet another good season in 1day and 4day

[amits]

my stats - 102 runs in 2 matches @ 25.50 in 5 day and i am yet to play a 1 dayer. still 48 against south africa "a" isnt bad considering i play at a very low level of cricket.

i am :!( at this thing that i never got to bowl.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's the way that it is for rookies. Rookies generally don't bowl much due the presence of more established part-timers and front-liners. Be patient.

AUSTRALIA 'A' 184 43.3 overs
CRICKET WEB 'A' 185/7 32.1 overs

Cricket Web 'A' won by 3 wickets

Man of the match: Bugssy

Coach's Comments:
Captain Umpire Money bowled superbly, leading from the front, with Mr. Wright and David Kennett exploiting some early seam movement. With the bat, we faltered a bit in the middle order, but once again Age Master batted with calm composure with Rik as they all but saw us home.

CRICKET WEB 'B' 278/9 50.0 overs
WEST INDIES 'A' 247/5 50.0 overs

Cricket Web 'B' won by 31 runs

Man of the match: Imran Khan(jr)

Coach's Comments:
Another beautiful innings from Gibbs N. Smith, but once again a technical fault exposed, as he was dismissed to a straight pitched-up delivery. Once again Craig exploded at the top, with Imran Khan Jr. batting maturely to hold the innings together. With the ball, all the bowlers were hit about a bit early on, but tightened up after taking a few wickets. Langeveldt in particular bowled well, bowling 7-1-21-2 before Carlton Baugh Jr. went crazy and started taking the aerial route.

Veterans XI 314 & 237
Cricket Web 'A' 392 & 160/7

Cricket Web 'A' won by 3 wickets

Man of the match: R_Powell_fan

Coach's Comments:
Superb application from R_Powell_fan with bat and ball. Mr Wright and David bowled beautifully with the old ball in the second innings. Point of concern is Marc's form. He's not doing as much as he should have done at this point in his Dev League career... the captaincy perhaps?

Cricket Web 'B' 331 & 306/7
Australia 'A' 552/8d

Cricket Web 'B' draw with Australia 'A'

Man of the match: ML Love

Coach's Comments:
A fair few superb innings in this game. Deeps batted with pure class and Amits, Vimes and Smith batted superbly too, yet somewhat overshadowed by Deeps. Martin Love then sent our bowlers into depression by smashing 200 with 41 fours. David Jr. bowled his best and got rewarded with 3 wickets. With the bat we were staring at defeat at 124/4 but Craig played an amazing innings while Jamee, Amits and Langeveldt stood in mature resistence.

i was there at the live simulation. nice to c i did well. 70 & 52 and total of 132 runs in 1 match with 2 50s isnt a bad effort also, i took the 1st aus a wicket as well

lots of part-timers like me and craig were needed to stop the run-flow of the aussies a team.

craig was superb and in the 1st innings, i shared an amazing partnership of 152 with deeps before a startling collapse happened with my wicket

still a good effort though. i was there in both innings with the runs

 

[marc71178]

41, 17 and 2-25 isn't too bad Liam.

I admit I am not contributing quite as much as I have done in past seasons, but I feel my captaincy has been a success.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

41, 17 and 2-25 isn't too bad Liam.

Just trying to get the best out of my players. The Bangladeshis are trying the same method...

India A 552/6d
Cricket Web 'A' 333 & 119

India A won by an innings and 100 runs

Man of the match: RV Bhardwaj

Coach's Comments:
Words can't ease the pain. The bowling was aweful, especially from a spin bowler who shall remain nameless. The batting was worse. Decent effort in the first innings, but the in the second you guys looked like school kids against the Indian spinners. :!(

Zimbabwe 'A' 322 & 153/2

Cricket Web 'B' draw with Zimbabwe 'A'

Man of the match: Craig

Coach's Comments:
Much more organized effort than the 'A' team. Craig continued his smashing form and was richly rewarded for attacking strokeplay. Deeps also continued with good form with Langeveldt contributing nicely with the bat and ball. David bowled superbly with Imran Khan Jr. hitting a line and length, but without luck. Gibbs once again was bowled in the 80's...

Disappointing run-chase and disappointing bowling in the middle overs. The fielding was poor. Everything was substandard.

Coach's Comments:
Very close game in the end. Yaju bowled a super second spell of 4-0-18-2 to keep CW in it, but ultimately Cork and Kabir Ali got the job done. A brilliant innings from Deeps with another fine start from Craig before a horrible mixup. Gibbs N Smith avoided being bowled.
