Probably, it depends on how the batters go- but everyone should get a few games anyway. I'll try to give people who arent playing an indication as to how they are doing in the second XI

Well the start of a new season and in the top league in both competitions. The Web will be hoping to do better in the OD knockout tournies this year after early exits in both this year. We will be hoping to put some big scores on the board in first class to enable out spinners to get some action. The club bar has stocked up well this year after selling out during several games last year. The top selling shirt is not surprisingly Malones with his status as an international star but all the players are pretty popular with the fans, and there have been several instances of players exploiting their popularity with the ladies - though there was no preseason trip to La Manga.
The first gane of the season was an away match at the Rose Bowl to face Hampshire - a nice trip to the south coast for the lads. We were faced with 2 injuries to start the season, Weber out for 3 weeks with a back injury and BK Smith out for 10 days with a hamstring injury.
The toss was duly won and on a belter of a pitch the CW batsmen got to work Vimes(63) and Bennett(85) put on a century for the first wicket and although last years man Bluefox failed it only brought Craze and Cloete to the wicket. they would put on double nelson before Cloete went for a brilliant century. Craze carried on to make 149 and Jellett made 98 as CW scored 607-8 declared - a great start to the new season.
Malone was looking confident in his bowling skills after his winter adventures and why shouldn't he be? It was he who struck in the third over to remove Laney and get them off to a good start. As usual the spinners did most of the damage though, Chapman showing he hadn't lost it over the winter with 4 wickets and Richards and Halsey also contributed. Will Kendall and Lawrence Prittipaul score 50's but Hants were bowled out for 232 and forced to follow on.
Malone again got Laney early and Hants didn't have any answers to Halsey and Chapman, Ian Shah's 45 the only score of substence as Hants subsided to 155 all out.

Disappointing season for me.
I'd been very distracted with lucrative promotional offers but I aim to do better next year concentrating on just my cricket.

From a game like that you can't make too many changes, and there was only one for the next game - Mr Wright dropped to the seconds and Patrick Nath stepped into his place. The first home game of the season, a bumper crowd, a prematch pyrotechnics display and the first appearance of the new cheerleading troupe 'the Webettes' ensured a jovial atmosphere which was made even more lighthearted by the news that Ian Blackwell had cried off the match to enter the Taunton heat of the world speed eating competition, unfortunately Blackwell's 39 pies in 5 minutes were not enough to win through.
Somerset had somehow lured West Indies' barnacle Chanderpaul to their ranks and when they won the toss and batted it was clear their intention was to spoil the party atmosphere by boring everone to death. Lathwell and Trescothick had both scored half centuries when a mini collapse saw 4 wickets fall for not many with Richards the chief beneficiary. But then then another new signing the obdurate Cottey joined Chanderpaul and they put on a century in 45 overs. It was so slow that when a catch did come along Cloete duly fluffed it through being half asleep. Malone finaly broke the partnership with cottey scoring 48 from 147 balls. This only brought Turner in and he continued the trend with a partnership of 83. Three quick wickets but then Caddick frustrated the bowlers - Chanderpaul was finally out for 146 from 439 balls and Somerset took 177 overs to get to 434 all out.
The carelessness was evident at the start of the CW innings, 4 early wickets falling, before Cloete and Richards steadied the ship with a 50 partnership. Then Jellett had to retire hurt when he fracture his wrist, leaving CW effectively 6 down for less than 200. Fortunately they had Buggsy Malone coming in at 8 and his 89 together with Cloete's 2nd successive century got CW back in the match though the last 4 wickets then went cheaply to concede a lead of 66. 368 all out
There was a sniff of a chance though for CW, the match was entering the evening session on day 3 but early wickets from Nath then Chapman reduced Somerset to 107-7 at lunch on day 4 just 173 ahead. Unfortunately the eigth wickets never arrived and Somerset declared just before tea on 178-7 declared.
The chase was non existant as there were only 33 overs, but Vimes hit an unbeaten 56 to end on a positive note. A dissapointing draw but Somerset clearly only came for one thing.

Felt great to run out with the second XI fella's, a nice knock in the second inngings capped a good overall start to my career.

Is there any chance you could upload the DB with your cricketweb team on it. Save me having to do it again.
Thanks
