perhaps it showed an element of complacency reds that we let them get so many. I think that the colts should be just about as good as everyone else, cos otherwise it'd be boring if they lost every game. 550's definately an achievable score especially if 1 or 2 get going... which happened. Get over it reds and concentrate on the on-field exploits, that's where games are won. We've learnt that complaining doesn't sit well and eventually does nothing.
The fight showed in the match was sensational. The batting stood up under a lot of pressure. There were lotsa good scores and we coulda got as many as them had've one of us really gone on with it.

Geez mate, I've heard of sour grapes but this tops the list. Get over it. We came to the game under pressure. We have been crtisized in the past for letting go of comanding situations. You guys (as usual) took us lightly, and we took advantage of that. We were the better team throughout the match, and you should be thankful for our inexperience as it probably means that you were lucky to get away with the draw, had our players had more experience you would have most likely lost by an innings. Be thankful you got away so lightly.steds said:

Maybe instead of worrying about other team's so called team harmony problems (which btw don't exist) you should be worrying about your own team's attitude.marc71178 said:

Finally some sense being made by a Reds player. Hopefully for their sake they take this message on board rather than worrying about other teams issues.Slats4ever said:

Hmm, that first innings was pretty shattering really, should have done much better in the circumstances. Steds may be using the excuse of '2 of the highest FC wickettakers in the system', however prior records can be turned to silt on gameday, and myself, along with Kennett certainly didn't bowl to the standard as our records suggest.
Below par exhibition deserves no excuses, sorry lads.

I'd just like to give a big "well done" to the Colts team for being the better team throughout the match. This is the first time that our batting lineup has really stood together firmly and I'm very proud of them. It's also great to see the captain taking nine wickets and the rest of the bowlers all pitching in. Finally, as Vimes pointed out earlier - 10 catches in one innings, now there's something you don't see every day. 
Talk about putting fielders in the right places! Always handy to have the once-vice-captain of the CW Reds positioning the field for his old teammates, he knew their weaknesses and preyed on them.
Still, we weren't able to finish up, and that's something we'll need to work on. The potential of the players coming together from all aspects of the game for this match was really nice, though, and it makes me very proud to be part of getting these players to work as a team and to learn the ways of the CW Dev League.
Great to have Thomas and Hancock back in the side and taking wickets.

Dissapointing Reds, but well done to hold onto that draw at least.
Congratulations to those Colts players who really played well, especially their batsmen who scored very fluently to make alot of runs.

Very well done by Kyle to position himself just slightly to the offside of the pitch after he bowled the ball to have himself catch me off his own bowling.Loony Bob said:

I don't particularly see what's wrong with it, they need to be competitive and they were. There are going to be matches where they're going to dominate - this was one of them, and we were lucky to hang on for the draw. The game itself - well, the first innings bowling was shocking, and the batting in both innings was pretty mediocre, judging by the Colts 1st innings it was a batsmen's pitch and we didn't take advantage of it. Well done to Ian with his 94 (so close!), Hak, Marc, and Iyer.
Anyway, steds, look at the 2nd innings. They were 3/60
(haha count the number of times farce has been used in the past few pages)

Not that many, considering the insane amount of people who signed up last season.

Good point. Anyway, Marc, what's your point? People who signed up last season doing well is not rookie power, so it doesn't even support your argument.
