Suprised Fuller didn't get a go with the ball

 

[Travis_Teh]

Cloete playing for his average. Fuller was deprived of coming in and scoring the fastest 100 in OD history one feels.

Good debut for G.

Butler's a freak.

 

[Johnners]

Oh dear

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah I'm a little surprised I never got a go with the ball.

Amazing stuff from Butler. Bit of a lacklustre chase though, could have paced it much better.

 

[cbuts]

yea, too not chase down 291, with 8 wickets in hand is poor

 

[chaminda_00]

Kind of over Chaulk's and Stedman inability to click at International level. Fuller or Cloete may open soon if they don't step up.

Got no idea why Fuller didn't bowl. Might be time to work out some tactics in Pickup's absence. Need a vc asap as well, for squad selection and those said tactics.

Good debut by Sriram though.

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Useless call. Should've picked someone with a decent middle-order record.

Hope I do well anyway.

 

[GIMH]

I thought you would turn down any call-up that came your way unless it was in the offseason?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Didn't say that. I said I didn't want one.

DISCLAIMER: And if I did, I was drunk.

Fifth match: Cricket Web XI vs Australia
at Pickford Reserve

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

The pride of CWLand as an unassailable fortress for limited overs cricket took a further blow today, as Cricket Web now rely on Australia to win the final match in order to have any chance of taking the Chairmen's Trophy. It was a spirited performance in a highly entertaining match, but ultimately, the lack of top class bowling proved to be the undoing of the XI again.

Australia bowled first, and two strikes from Brett Lee brought the in-form Butler in at an early stage. Butler didn't waste time, slashing six boundaries off the first 18 balls, and the Pickford crowd thought they were in for a special innings. Then, however, he dragged a wide one from Lee back on his stumps, Lee had his third wicket, and Cricket Web were staring down the barrel. It didn't help that Smith had an unremarkable debut, trapped lbw by Mitchell Johnson - the hosts were 76 for four and needed a spirited fightback.

Ash Chaulk had watched the carnage from the other end, and now tried to lead the fightback - he got to 77, a fine knock for an opener, but with the rest of the order having failed Cricket Web needed more. Liam Camps eventually compiled a laboured 51, always watchful of protecting the tail, though he was helped by a 21-ball vigil from Kev Gough to boost the total to 239 for nine.

Australia wasted no time in attacking the target, bashing Camps out of the attack after a mere three overs, and though wickets fell with regularity, runs came at an even faster rate. A masterclass from Michael Hussey settled things after Pickup had held a catch off Ponting to see the Aussies at 126 for four; Pickup bowled disappointingly poorly on a specially prepared home wicket, and Australia cruised home with the bonus point, the final ticket, the win in the preliminary stage and bucketloads of pride.

Cricket Web XI 239 for nine (50)
Chaulk 77, Camps 51*; Lee 4/57

Australia 243 for six (37.2)
Hussey 72*, Ponting 62

Australia won by four wickets
Man of the Match: B. Lee (Australia)

Table: Australia 13pts (W3), Cricket Web XI 7pts (W1 L3), Pakistan 5pts (W1 L2)

You know where you can shove your disclaimer, ****

If I ever got the call up for the ODI side (which I doubt I will considering the openers ahead of me.) I'd turn it down (unless it was outside of Dev season), for quite obvious reasons.

This blows. Again, sorry for absence. However I may be getting workable internet soon... well Sky are now charging me for the phone line I never thought I even had... so I do have a phoneline... and I may actually be able to get Internet soon...

 

[cbuts]

well that sucks

Why is this such a short series. Only playing everyone twice?

Id prefer a 5 game series personally

 

[Johnners]

Must say, first game aside, our bowling has been pretty shocking

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wow, that was awful.

 

[David]

Questionable decision to promote Fuller pays off.

Not the headline I read in the next days paper.

Disappointing to lose, hopefully Aus will win when we need them to.

Looked good after our first match...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

IMO you're just pissy because you're more deserving of the ODI middle order spot than I am. Fair gripe tbh.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Smith had an unremarkable debut, trapped lbw by Mitchell Johnson

Thought it was alright myself, 6 is close to my average in the middle order.
