Ooh! 25Smash. 
Boy am I looking forward to that! Waughney, Craig, Hoy, Bugs & Blewy surely looking to repeat their performances from last year and I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on that kind of fun, especially after last season! Huge shame Lezama will miss out though... last year he hit 238 runs @ 47.60 at a S/R of 109.17... but yeah, the Greens lineup for the 25Smash is awesome.

It's actually one 5D and one OD until Smash/trading. That's according to the amended schedule.

Two weeks from today. It's a home series though, so only 11 players will be monopolized at a given time.biased indian said:when is the next international tour

CW Black v CW Blue
at the PDV Dome
With one of the most defiant efforts in Dev League history, young Sean Fuller almost singlehandedly turned another depressing FC game for Blue into a famous win. From a collapse that saw Blue tumble to 132 all out from 101/1, the bounce back saw victory by a massive 174 runs.
Spin undid the Blues in the first innings on their home turf at the PDV Dome, but it was the seam attack that fought back against Black. Black was reduced to 94/5 in their reply, but wonderful counterattacking play from Wilson and Dubb-Lynch helped push on to 284 all out, despite Fuller's 5 wickets. That represented a lead of 152 runs, and Camps was quickly dismissed to have Blue 10/1 and looking down the barrel.
Alas, taking a page from the book of Black, Simon Fitzsimmons attacked heartily for a good half-century, but could find no steady partner. The score was later 159/6 and the situation indeed dire. It was then that Fuller joined veteran Peter Young (then on 1) at the crease for the last exchanges of day two. He was dropped on 0 and 13 early and certainly made the chances count.
Some 188 runs later featured the fall of the next wicket, Young run out short of his hundred. Yet Fuller continued with the assistance of Sudeep Popat and added a further 155 runs. He reached his maiden FC hundred and continued to apply himself as he crossed 150. Eventually Blue declared at 534/9 and set a target of 383 runs from 113 overs remaining in the game.
Black entered the final day at 59/0, but could not carry through and wickets fell at opportune times. Wilson did smack his second half-century of the game, but was last out at 207.

CW Green v CW Red
at the CW Oval
Another professional team effort by Red and another loss for Green in its minor skid of late. Choosing to bat first on the Cricket Web Oval pitch, Green failed to grab their opportunity and were made to pay for it. Each Red bowler took at least one wicket and the effort was truly impressive - 258 all out.
The hosts then proceeded to rack up 383, behind a century from Dauth and half-tons from Stedman and Ghansar. Green did well to fight back from 256/2, but Red still took a commanding 125-run lead into the second innings. With that insurance, the bowlers found their stride again. Watt led the charge and was particularly instrumental in setting back the top order, then vice-captain Kyle Wright settled in and took 4 much-needed wickets to limit the chase to 59 for victory.
The Reds scored one run better, not losing a wicket whilst taking some 28.4 overs to win the game.

The 12th Test player will be released to play for his club, so it will likely be a benched rookie who will carry drinks.Samuel_Vimes said:

Superb knocks from Young, Fuller and Popat - but we have only ourselves to blame for letting that one go - Fuller dropped four times. Good to see Mike in the runs again - the pace closet's looking a touch bare right now, though
