The Blue Thread

Nice win there. Hoping to find some touch with the bat before the season kicks off.

The CW Blue top order continues to rotate, mixing things up as much as possible before the serious pre-season work begins. The tail starts relatively early, with nose bleed positions being handed to Sriram and Demeza.

Victoria elect to play Mick Lewis, the man commonly associated with the 'worst bowler to ever play one day cricket for Australia' tag. Hopefully he goes for more than 100, again.

Abuse of captaincy to bat yourself above anyone. Your legacy confirms this.

bwahhahaha.

Highlight of my career, to be honest. Well deserved 9 above both of them. (well, in my eyes, anyway )

nice win in the 3 dayer.

Victoria vs Cricket Web Blue

Another extremely low scoring one day match was played at the MCG. Both teams were bowled out before their allocated 50 overs were utilised. Promising signs for the CW Blue bowlers for the upcoming development league one day season.

damn! everyone got starts but didnt carry on. atleast the bowling was good.

What a gun spell.

Extremely happy I dismissed Captain Cricket, the set batsman.

Sorry for my recent absence guys, nice to see I've started okay.

The first preseason game was played the other day, we drew against Red.
Check out the official season 13 thread, it has a fixture list on the first page

Thanks!

Wow, we need to work on our bowling!!

I reckon 3 is too high for myself, much better at around 5 or 6. I bat so fast, there isn't really any point batting so high.

Yeah, haven't quite decided on the batting order yet. Shall be taken into consideration though, cheers

Gonna see how you go at 6.

It's a hard nut to break into, the Blue top order. I reckon it almost selects itself. Trying to refine it a little.

Cheers. I made a century the other day against a high quality Tasmanian attack, batting at 5 or 6.

Hope we play better as a team next game.

Heh, it was a FC game he was referring to. I'm pretty sure even you'd agree that you are our OD specialist.
