Our home ground hasn't been very good to us so far. We barely beat the Vipers and couldn't even beat the Cyclones. <.<
WWWHYYYY did I have to get out in that second innings. It was only 20 overs. Very good result seeing as though we were understrengthed.
This pitch doesn't favour our bowlers. I know Wilson and Emm are world class but you can't expect too much from them on a 3/10 spin pitch. Which leaves the bowling on Green and inexperienced players in Laing & Ridd. Our batting was always going to be fine. Maybe if Green fired in the first innings things would've been different. But FIP and a draw keeps us at the top of the ladder.
When you have 6-7 origin players in your side, you should be winning most matches. Not a bad result by any stretch, but far from a good one.
Disagree strongly. The Ravens have Manera, Lewis, Perry, Robertson, Webber, Funkotron who are all origin players. Add that to Cribb, who would be entrenched in any other rep team besides nsw. They are equally as stron as you, as c'd by last seasons final result. Add that to the pitch not favouring your spin and players being out and I would not have expected you to win. Good result for you imo.
It's suddenly turned into a 3 horse race, with all of you firing. Big Man's averaging 50 for the season - he's very raw though so he'd only be used if you two were epic failing. And both you and Tool Man have suddenly found some form. Good to see.
Would I be right in guessing that Gee has the inside running due to his not-horrible Origin record compared to Toolio's, and the fact that he's actually batting 6 at club level?
