No, because, as I've already said once, we have a surplus of regular openers who aren't getting the chance, so I'm not going to move a part-timer up there ahead of them,

Count yourself lucky to be batting at 3 and not where you have been in the past 2 matches.

I'm glad my team is getting involved, but not in the manner that you are - a disruptive player is going to find that counts against themselves if there's a close call for a spot in the World Cup squad.

Gah, you been taking lessons from Ponting on how to be a general pain in t'backside?

I'm fairly pleased to find myself fourth in the wickets list despite having had a fairly dodgy tournament, though the performance in the last game was more than useful :)

Let's finish the job!

With a little help from my stunning wicketkeeping skills Neil, nice stumping last game!! ( probably hit my pads and bounced back onto the stumps, not unlike me being dismissed in house cricket in Year 9 :mad: )

Happy with a welcome return to form though still not sure where my best position for batting is but just happy to still be involved in the tournament. :)

It doesn't quite work without the extra syllable in there.

I toyed with Marco, Robbinso and Robbinsy, and I spelt it with a K because otherwise it's a soft c as in Marcel.. so there!

Not a bad tourney for me. R=105 HS=65 Avg=26.25 :p but not so convincing in the bowling department. W=3 BB=2/32 Avge=41.33 :@ Oh well!! At least I did better overall than a lot of people but still just above average. :dry:

In perfect batting conditions and in front of a packed house, the Marc71178 XI didn't make best use of the pitch and were fighting an uphill battle from then in.

The Final - Langeveldt XI vs. Marc71178 XI
at the Cricket Web Oval

MARC71178 XI 222 46.4 overs
LANGEVELDT XI 223/6 45.2 overs

Langeveldt XI won by 4 wickets

Man of the match: Nikhil Nichani
