The Black Thread

[Neil Pickup]

Now I have spinners coming out of my ears and no idea what to do with them all!

Great batting effort today, shame we couldn't finish it off. Looks like you've got the opening slot nailed down now!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

This may be of interest then Neil.

solid performance lads, good to see Buddh and Kears with tons there. We really dominated the match, i feel me and buddh's opening partnership is starting to bear fruit aswell. Hopefully our morale will be high now and we can ciack on

 

[SquidAU]

Ever so close. With that performance, maybe we can string a few wins together.

Spinner wanting to leave Blue. Black wanting to chuck a spinner or two. I'm beginning to fear for my livelihood

Yep Davo, it's starting to look good. If you start knuckling down and continueing your starts, and my up and down form stays at up, this could be a scary partnership

Great game there boys just unlucky not to cap of with a victory.. keep pressing though

 

[ash chaulk]

ive just looked at our last 3 OD matches and would like to say that our bowlers are doing an awesome job so far keep it up....

p.s. Cap. gimme the chance to open the 5day batting i did sign up as a number 3 so i know the new ball.

 

[Right arm fast]

hey guys im back ive been in aussie on a cricket tour looks like were back on top keep it up

 

[superkingdave]

indeed we are starting to get things together, though we will lose Neil, Kears and Chris to the national side soon so a lot of people, mainly me, are going to have to step their games up

 

[Right arm fast]

yea will you be captain when neils gone?

yeah we all will, ive also had a pretty poor start to the season batting wise anyway hopefully it can improve and we can win some more FC games.

hmmm

The OD top six at present:

Chaulk
Thompson - settled opening pair

Jones
Butler
Kearsley - the three strongest batsman

Wilson - has always been at six

Blackman - where can I move you to under a full side? You will bat four when the Internationals are away, but otherwise I don't know what I can do.

Ash - I may try that during the Tests break.

im willing to drop down the order for him i have been batted poorly this season.

Nah it's fine, I was just pointing out what Liam said, to see what Neil thought.

And who is Jones?

 

[kears_falcon_9]

its Simon Jones... i think his name is Crazy Macca.. doesnt come round much not that ive seen anyway... as for th order.. Blackman may be waisted down there but neil is right with thommo opening and then the net 3 being quite strong its real hard to get into top 4.. but maybe a swap with willo could be the go.. but if we were chasing a total in quick time then willo might be the go... thoughts?

 

[Buddhmaster]

How long has he been around? I think he's averaging less then me in FC, how's he going in OD?

I'm not trying to get his position, I just thought he was new to the team
