The Battle of Bell St.
I don't see a lot of talent out there this week. Hopefully a few of the more senior players can lift this week.

There is little to be said about such a poor performance. As soon as the rain started, we were useless. And we were ordinary enough before the rain came.
That said, there were a few worthwhile performances that deserve a mention. Not many, but those who deserve a mention deserve a vote.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Someone will deserve a vote this week. I won't be the coach, nor the umpires and there won't be many players.

After making an ordinary team look like world beaters again in Round 11, we actually play a top 4 side: Brisbane. They may not have much more experience than we do, but they are following the coaches' instructions. We do not. They don't turn the ball over under little pressure. We do. They play with a plan. We do not.
This could be ugly.

Game 1 - England v South Africa.

Tight match, Poms batting - 4/235 odd after 40.

SAers missing Steyn.

Commentators putrid - it's the 'how good is the English team BS'!!

Our team is not going to be strong this week.

My expectations are low this week. I don't see us playing well in the wet.

All ready for action on Sunday.

It goes to show you never know, 40 and complications from surgery apparently!

My condolences to the families, it's just wrong that stuff like this happens, but it's life and life goes on!

Dont worry about the behaviour of players at other clubs, Daisy being investigated by the club for drinking (heavily allegedly) at a charity event on Friday night.

Essendon have some injuries and we don't know how to win. This game could be embarrassing.
I hate to think that the Drug Cheats will beat us, but we just don't know how to win, we make too many mistakes, the Umpires kill us and our coach is poor on match days. Things bode poorly.
