That's because, unlike us, they have 'issues'. We're just cool. I suppose this is where people can discuss the reasons why we're cool. ...Or something.

Seriously, though, uhmmmm, I'd say we're doing pretty well although we're definitely suffering most with the CWXI team taking up our top five. I'm sure we can get back on track, but we have to do that extra bit better.

Yes, steds, we understand that when you're down something like 5-1 to us you need all the sympathy support you can get, but surely you should just throw that into your signature and be done with it? :p I can't see you getting any here.

Anyone that has any requests as to the way things are done in games (in terms of selection, batting orders, bowling orders etc) can make suggestions and they will be noted.

Well yeah, I would like to have a go at being a pinch hitter in the OD games, But I'm pretty happy just being in the team altogether, i'd just like a go, that's all. :}

after another loss i have a suggestion.i suggest that we have all the players live in one house so we can form good bonds so when were out in the middle we can understand each other better and have better partnerships.also i say hire a bowling and batting coach

wow our own thread. :happy:

A few of us are just a bit low on form at the moment. We played just about the whole start of the season with a similar team and have now lost 1/2 of it to CWXI. But we will turn it around because as Don says We Are The Green Machine. :p

I'd just like to point out that Age Master is probably the coolest australian guy ever. We should give it up for our captain, and turn in some wins.

Sucking up will get you nowhere :p. we ALL have to combine better as a team and turn in some much better performances - than the wins will come.

After the most recent stats release, I got a bit concerned. Look at these figures...

I'm not sure how this compares with the rest of the teams, but it's not very encouraging. We really, really need to think about the way we're batting in 5D games... we've only had one player improve on his batting average since the season began. I'm pretty confident we're doing a lot better in OD's and 25Smash, so we know we have potential... but how do we harness it in the long game?

EDIT: Great going to the bowlers as a group this season, though. I've admired you all.

EDIT: Fixed stuff.

Bob,

Blewy's average increased by 3.09. Sanz also increased.

LoD bowling average increased.

But is a great breakdown of our season and shows just how much we have struggled at times.
