beautiful simon... lovely aggressive play by our batsmen with the 6 6's all up and making 308 was always going to help our bowlers!

woah over the moon at reading about our first One day performance. Not only from a personal level but from a team level. To crush Colts by so many runs affirms us as real title contenders this year.. not just pretenders.
On a personal note however extremely happy to bring up my highest ever OD score and get to the 150 mark. At the moment it feels like I'm on cloud nine when I'm batting the form is just tremendous!! It was great to bat with Dauthy and I really feel as if he's coming of age and will be a real force not only in OD cricket this season but 4 day.

Gah, my comment didn`t post!
Huge victory by the Blacks, well played by all of you. Simon and Buddhy were amazing and really made the most of our poor bowling. I`m pleased with my match, some wickets, some runs and a catch. But we need to get it all together. Early stages though, we can do it Blues.
Well done also to Roberts on your first wicket in Dev. League.

DEVASTATION!
Cricket Web Blue vs Cricket Web Colts
at Goffmouth Park
Fans who dared to travel with CW Blue booed as Travis Demeza walked off the ground to seal an unbelievable come-from-behind victory for the Cricket Web Colts. Chasing 99 runs for victory, the Blues collapsed from 67/1 to be humilated and bowled out for 88.
In a run of devastating form, this was just the latest in a poor start to the season for the defending champions. Greg Thomas and Nick Hancock exploited the spineless Blue batting and ran through the middle and lower order after Robert Cribb and Dinu DeSilva looked to be guiding Blue home.
The Blues bowled out their opponents for just 151 on first innings, then after slipping to 73/5, they recovered to take a lead of 160, largely due to a sensation batting display from Dylan Jellett. The Colts fought back in their second innings, and James Malthus-Howell and Pooja Bharat were essential in structuring a total of 258.
A lead of 99, all seemed lost for the Colts when Hancock dismissed DeSilva padding up to one that jagged back. From there the floodgates opened entirely and the home crowd ridiculed the Blue players without ease.

Markus falls short and Blacks get home
Cricket Web Red vs Cricket Web Black
at the Pickford Reserve
Ian Markus threatened to carry CW Red to victory, but the Blacks held their nerve for another victory via another stunning team effort. Markus' 97 came in typically quick time - 95 balls - and partnered by Jamee Gray, the Reds seemed a chance to chase 310 for victory. Thompson had him caught down the legside though, and the entire complexion of the game changed.
CW Black had earlier elected to bat first and were met with some superb pace bowling from Dave Watt, chasing 500 FC wickets. Darren Dubb-Lynch scored 71 crucial runs and the home side struggled to 207 all out. In similar fashion, the Red innings centred around a Stedman half-century with few others emerging from starts. Young Harry Warwick claimed 5 wickets, and George Roberts impacted with 3 of his own.
A lead of 14 secured, the Blacks batted to 295 all out in their second innings. Things were uneasy at 176/6, but a late order charge from Thompson and Warwick steadied the march. Set a tricky target for victory, the Reds looked good at 78/1. Four quick wickets later, and 111/5 was far less than attractive reading. It was then that Markus decided to impose himself on the bowling, and by the time the score reached 221/5, the game appeared to have swung dramatically.
A flick down the legside later, and it swung once more as Black fashioned a comfortable win.

Wonder if Thomas still thinks he should be dropped... 
EDIT: Very, very happy to see the openers doing well together, also Resha notching up a nice 72 off 78. An abysmal first innings once again, but Thomas & Hancock really bit down hard at the end of the match, saving our day one blushes. Batting seems to remain a big problem with only three batsmen making significant innings, and this will be looked into. I think every Colts batsman owes a lot to our seamers, hopefully they can return the favour.

Crucial points dropped there - we should have had them at 176/6, but it all fell apart from us. Gotta wonder a bit why Sean was fifth-choice bowler on a raging turner...

Shame about the loss, but we bowled really well. Dave with 5/42, some nice batting by Stedders and Ian 'Mr Cricket' Markus. C'mon Reds

I was talking about OD only but no, keep me in the side forever kthx!You got rid of the danger batsman
This proves our bowling attack can do the job without our most experienced bowler!We turned the game around from a near impossible position. Malthus-Howell scored 100 in the match and Bharat's 72 (along with Howells 60 and Das's 48) is what gave us a tiny chance of victory, which we grabbed and pulled off something special.
GO COLTS!
