Without the steady swing of Collins we'll be needing some youth to step up, and Sriram to become the bowler he has promised to be. Exciting times, as the batting is definitely packed with quality.
Hopefully i can step up, in my first season.

Bowen is pretty much the star batsman in the team, has a batting strike rate of about 100 in First Class Matches. Don't think you need to know too many others..Reckon it quiet around here cus no one knows anyone. What your name again?
Nah we really have a very strong side this year, should make the finals in every comp..

Good luck to all the new faces. Have given every single one a run in the first game to see how you go and give the chance to impress as well as to welcome you all to the system, so you know what to expect for the remainder of the season
THere's plenty of spots open for the first XI, so the inter-team competition should be grand

Nice hit out in the our first match, unless you're a bowling. So glad I wasn't asked to bowl in the 2nd innings.

2nd FC Friendly named.
As per the first game, have given the rest of the squad a shot for practice, with only a couple of players getting a second game
Hoping all the bowlers get a trundle here, it appears we have a very versatile bowling list. Many options in any shape of lineup.
Hopefully this top order produces the goods like in the last game! Lots of pressure around now.

Yeah, very impressive performance I thought, 7 wickets @ under 20 on a flat one is excellent. Probably make you our best player in the game, given the context.
Mixed feelings about my own debut, generally mediocre but snatched three wickets in eight balls late on, which although two of them were tail-enders, should give me a boost for the second game. Other debut bowlers Robb and Cannon also seemed to have played well, which is encouraging for CW Blue as it is possible that Demeza will be on national duty at some point.
Delighted to have been selected for the second game as well, although I'm getting vertigo at the dizzy heights of No.9 in the order. And let's hope that our well-established top order can fire as well as the "understudies" did yesterday.

Seems curious that Travis is giving me lots of playing time...I've been pretty mediocre the first two first-class games with the ball TBH. Not complaining though, and hope I bowl a good spell today against the Greens. I guess where being CW Blue's only frontline spin bowler might come to my advantage (along with the off-spinning all-rounder MA "The Old Jeremiah" Cannon), should mean that I get a few chances during the season, hopefully at the traditional turner at Pickford. Not that I'm assuming anything, though.
A shame that we lost to the Reds, although given our Nos.8-11 scraped together a mere 16 runs between them in 8 innings it's hardly surprising. Still, overall, I think there's been shows of promise in the two first-class games, especially from Luffman and Downes among the fellow newbies.
