The Red Thread

[Johnners]

CW Red vs CW Blue - FC May 31 - CW Oval

H. Mørk - 6/10 - Good First Innings to set up a reasonable innings total whilst others failed. Game fell away after that, only 2 in the 2nd innings, and some untidy keeping

G.K.K. Dobson - 5/10 - Should've taken advantage of a good start in the 1st innings, and got the team off to a good start in the 2nd with a deserved and gritty half century

A. Sharma - 1/10 - 6 runs in 2 innings, need not say anymore

D.A. Kearsley - 3/10 - Part of a dire collapse in the 1st innings, started well, and got the innings back on track in the 2nd, really should have gone on with it, but left the side in a precarious position instead

Z.J. Ritchie - 2/10 - Needed to stay in with Mørk in the 1st innings after getting the start, need not say anything about the 2nd innings

M.J. Robbins - 8/10 - Brilliant batting under pressure in the 2nd Dig to get the team back in a winning position when 200 looked a mile away. Economical bowling, and really gave the team a chance by dismissing Ullungura in the 2nd innings.

M. Reddlapalli - 4/10 - Poor batting display, did the job with the ball though, getting Pete in the 2nd innings provided the team with a sniff.

C.R. Dwyer - 9/10 - Awesome batting display in both innings. Stayed around in the 1st innings to get the team up close to 300, and then quite simply turned the game on it's head in the clutch, and swung it back in Reds favour in the 2nd. Solid with ball

C.P. Thompson - 7/10 - Breathtaking 2nd innings century to put the team into a winning situation, and give the bowlers time to take 10 wickets. Unfortunately whilst solid, bowling wasn't spectacular, needed to do more with the ball as the 2nd seamer

S.A. Bennett - 5.5/10 - Toiled away with the ball on a dead pitch, kept it tight. Did what was required with the bat in both innings holding up 1 end.

D.M. Kennett - 7/10 - Fantastic 1st innings of bowling to give the team a handy lead going into the 2nd dig. Tried hard in the 2nd, but was unable to produce the goods a 2nd time around, desperately missed another strike seamer to share the workload.

P.S - Please let me know if you think i'm being to harsh/soft

If you give me anything lower than a 7 again I'll cut your nose off.

CW Red vs CW Black - 31st June - OD

MD Luff - 7/10 - Another good innings with the bat to get the team over 200, but sadly it was pretty much a lone hand

GKK Dobson - 1/10 - 4 Runs isn't enough

SA Bennett - 7/10 - Solid 41 up the order, and was the teams best bowler whilst trying to defend a low target

DA Kearsley - 3/10 - 17 Won't cut it, the teams needs someone to stand up in the middle order and be counted

H Mørk - 3/10 - See above...and since when do you hit 6's

MJ Robbins - 5/10 - Needed runs, expensive with the ball despite picking up 2 important wickets

CR Dwyer - 1/10 - just 3 runs...need not say anymore

M Reddlapalli - 5/10 - Good innings under pressure to get the batting back on track. Poor bowling though

DM Kennett - 4/10 - Hung around to ensure all 50 overs were used for batting. Horrible opening 2/3 overs with the ball when a tight spell was needed, as were early wickets. Kept it reasonably tight after that, but didn't look threatening

MU Amir - 4/10 - See above

SV Raghav - 4/10 - Didn't really threaten the opposing batsmen, reasonably expensive to boot.

Fair ratings, tho i disagree with Dwyer's rating. Should have been 0.5

Pick me!

Tbh, in some respects, I think you're too harsh on the batsmen who fail, because everyone can get a bad decision, or be beaten by an absolute gem of a ball. Sure a golden or the like isn't going to get you any praise, but check the fielding etc. as well. That said I haven't checked the fielding at all & don't want to be lumped with the ratings job, however I just feel that saying 3 runs isn't enough, just isn't enough, if you catch my drift? I do appreciate though that it's a lot harder to evaluate a batsman who fails, just seeing if I can add some constructive criticism.
Cheers.

Guess it's my bowlers bias coming through

Hehe, nah, thanks, i see what you're saying, and will try and find an extra rating or 2 were possible

[luffy]

What's with these ****ing goldens!

[kears_falcon_9]

I don't know, but i got one two . Lucky stedders and Kenny got us home, two wonderful tons there. Dissapointed to miss out. Could be the end of my run in the Reds team tbh.

Great win in the OD game, just gotta keep it goin as we are a real shot for final appearances in both forms.
