Up the Qoalas!

 

[The Half Back]

Great job team, wins in both the Test Match and One Day match to start the season.

In the one dayer, we bowled really well and all six bowlers used shared the wickets evenly. Run chase was expertly done, doing it 4 down with nearly 10 overs to spare. Dingster and TheInjuryFactory with great half centuries to get us home.

Test Match was a great contest, went into the second digs in deficit but pulled out a great win. Once again, the wickets were shared evenly across both innings, with the most wickets taken by one bowler in an innings being 3. Great team effort with the ball. With the bat, hotchilli was the clear standout, narrowly missing out on a ton in the first dig but breaking through in the second to get us home. Tiffy also batted well with a half ton and an almost half ton, Barrybran beautiful first innings century and Falconista a crafty half century in the second innings as well.

On to Round 2 tomorrow!

Well done team

Good to see that there's a team which actually knows how to dig in and not just throw it all away...

Solid start to the season!

 

[The Half Back]

Not the results we were after in Round 2, poor captaincy in the Test match cost us, winning the toss and bowling on a genuine highway may not have been my finest moment

Batted well in the One Dayer with Dingster, TheInjuryFactory and hotchilli all scoring well-made 40's to help us post 261 from our 50. Unfortunately it wasn't enough with the Stingrays chasing it down with a few overs to spare. With ball in hand, Supercheapgiants (2/55 off 10) and Loonerty (2/57 off 10) both snagged two poles a piece whilst the league's stingiest bowler, Falconista, bowled super tight lines again, finishing with 1/32 from his 9.

As for the Test Match, bowling first on concrete was not the smartest idea and we chased leather for the first four sessions. TY24 was welcomed in for his first Test Match and claimed best figures in the first innings with 3/60 off 23. Chezzalenko Reborn (2/130 off 29), Mooch (2/70 off 18) and Falconista (2/78 off 22) all chipped in with 2 wickets a piece. Batting wise it was the Barrybran (115 from 167) show again, peeling off a second superb century this season. He was supported well by cats_09 (58 off 73), TheInjuryFactory (71 off 124), Falconista (48 off 153) and hotchilli (68 off 80). We went into the second dig trailing by only 8 runs, but Fulmina put another 370 on top of that before declaring. Chezz (2/59 off 14.3) and Falc (2/62 off 14) both claimed two scalps a piece. Chasing 377 for victory, we were looking alright at 1/136 but lost a few too many wickets through the middle to be bowled out for 282, falling 94 runs short. Dingster (63 off 80) and Barrybran (57 off 86) put up some good resistance but it was too much in the end.

Onwards and upwards though!
