Somehow i don't think he's to worried about your bowling form at the moment

Cricket Web Blue vs Cricket Web Black
at the PDV Dome

A fantastic hundred from Dinu DeSilva stunned the Black bowlers, as he and anchorman Sean Fuller added 204 for the 3rd wicket, batting first on the PDV pitch. Fuller fell agonizingly short of a maiden OD ton, but played an essential role in pushing the innings to 278/7.

The total came on a quick bouncy track and proved more than enough, as Black faltered in the chase. Ash Chaulk got his team off to a brisk start, but wickets fell all too regularly for any momentum to be sustained.

Most notable of the Blue bowlers was Adam Collins, who was hit for 15 runs in his first over. Determined to allow him to find rhythm, stand-in captain Sean Fuller allowed him to continue bowling. He was quickly rewarded with wickets in his 2nd and 3rd overs. Ultimately Collins bowled his last 9 overs for 24 runs and took 3 wickets.

Round 1 of the Blue-Black Season 9 rivalry ends with a 2-0 victory to Blue.

CW Blue 278/7 (50 overs)
CW Black 224/6 (50 overs)

CW Blue won by 54 runs
Man of the Match: SE Fuller

Yeah baby!

Well done blues, awseome batting by Dinu and Sean! Unlucky Sean n ot to get the ton.
Dinu simply put, went spastic on the black bowling attack!!

Well bowled Ad's, contributions from the rest of the bowlers too

two from two boys

great win by blue, this is a very positive start to the season, two from two is something to build from...

come on guys now is the time for us all to stand up. let's grab a win here and really show that us left overs know how to play cricket.

haha! what a game guys! very happy with my performance. well done Sean and all the bowlers.

Wow, Dinu, you're getting a headstart. Just you wait

Pretty good win there, I have to say.. !!

Another poor game by us. We are in terrible form at the moment, just need that breakthrough win.

It had to be done.

Wow, amazing win given that it really was close to a makeshift lineup for us, using the exact eleven players we have left without the internationals. I felt like I was struggling out there for a while, but Dinu really kept the scoreboard moving and took the pressure off me, and we were able to put them to the sword a bit at the end.

Excellent bowling efforts all round as well, Adam in particular.

Not sure I deserved man of the match over Dinu, but it's nice to set a good example in my first game as skipper with my highest OD score.

Some form there bye the Blacks. Its coming i can feel it. Although i cant say the same for my batting.. ive hit about 50 runs combined for both forms for the season so far.. EKKKKKK

That's largely because of Hancock. He had a good spell going and only imploded at the very end. Thomas then came on to fill in the one over needed between himself and Hancock at the end, but he came him on at the wrong end. Thus, Hancock had to bowl one more over if only to allow Wright to bowl the 50th, which he did superbly.

Urgh, typical :P

Argh, we just can't get this season going. Without Neil, Butler and Dave is going to be hard to get the season up off the ground, but I know we can do it.
