Is it right that according to the fixtures schedule we play Blue 5 times at 5day twice in 25smash and not at all in one day?

Its about time the Blues got a taste of the Black magic, we've only played like twice this season? One was a warmup and the other Was the Pickup show - is Halsey ready for another lesson from the spin king?
Don't deny it - he's the master - although I'd like to remind you that Pickup himself said that I bowled well last game...

Correction, I said played well.

Bowling was alright and the batting good (41 I believe) which led to well overall :)

Yes folks, it's almost here again!

CRICKET WEB BLUE V CRICKET WEB BLACK
The rematch!

Earlier this season the Blacks derailed the Blues by 72 runs, but now there's a chance for revenge! The rivalry is even more intense as Pickup's men attempt to get their season back on track whilst Young leads his team for revenge. With CW Blue a game behind CW Black, 60 points separate these teams and a win for either would be cherished.

Once again we witness...
Halsey versus Pickup.
Buts versus Toogood.
Mr Mxyzptlk versus Master Blaster.
Jellett versus Chaulk.

Don't miss the sequal to the biggest blockbuster of the season...

Yes, there appears to be an imbalance in the schedule. Considering that it was a hell of a lot of work to get it even resembling a balanced schedule, that I'm getting a headache just looking at it again and that there will supposedly be 20 games per team in each form (not including finals) either way, I'll leave it as it is for now and the CW Black v CW Blue season seres (and any other which may have been left out) will be played if necessary. At first glance (5 minutes) I don't see where the error is rooted (as there appear to be the expected 4 5D fixtures scheduled between Blue and Black), but fear not that by the end of the season, all will be sorted and no one will be cheated of cricket.

i don't reckon out batting was too disgraceful in that game. 210 on a batting wicket that was difficult to bat on... maybe the bowlers shoulda done better than 230. IT wasn't all us batsmans fault., well maybe mine but not everyone elses

Man of the Match: Tom Halsey

Daily Blast Comment: Archrivals, Cricket Web Blue and Cricket Web Black faced off for the second time in a first class fixture this season and it was a fantastic game. Led by unbeaten half-centuries from Ash Chaulk and C Buts, the Blacks set up an intriguing run chase for the Blues, though admittedly less than they would have liked. Indeed, some fantastic legspin bowling by Tom Halsey kept his team in the game and gave it a chance to win. Chasing 279 the Blue batsmen elected to be positive instead of being dictated to, and it paid off. A brilliant second season hundred from Test opener Broncoman led the charge and another fine innings by StUEy garnished an ultimately commanding 6-wicket reading. This game was closer than the final scoreline indicates, but the Blues will be thrilled to have outplayed their rivals and taken some revenge to heart after the early season defeat.
