ZIMBABWE XI 94 25.3 overs
CRICKET WEB GREEN 95/1 22.0 overs

Cricket Web Green won by 9 wickets

Man of the match: Sanz

Coach's Comments:
Explosive seam bowling by Rose, Timewell and Sanz saw Zimbabwe hanging on for dear life at 55/8, before a mini-revival was staged by Flower and Strang. The chase was obviously quite comfortable, with Mr Mxyzptlk the only casualty (to a contentious decision ). Spectacular win.

clearly brilliant captaincy

seriously, great effort by the bowlers and the couple of batsmen that got a bat

good win

 

[age_master]

Be glad to help you Andrew on your bowling.Could help me too to regain some form.Also, in the batting department.

ofcourse, always happy to help.

ofcourse you getting a bat in games would help

 

[roseboy64]

Sure would.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Briefly, I'd say.

And why's Mxyzptlk opening?! Abuse of power!!

I opened in the first two CW XI Tests and in my first few ODI's too. But the real reason is as was stated before and after your comment.

 

[chrisbroadie]

[ash chaulk]

[Ferd]

India A 233 & 339
Cricket Web Blue 252 & 198

India A won by 122 runs

Man of the match: RV Bhardwaj

Coach's Comments:
Well-bowled, but poorly batted against the spin... again. Hasley was superb in the first innings, but couldn't use the second innings wear as effectively as Mishra did and the Blues batting proceeded to collaspe in the chase.

Cricket Web Green 491
Veterans XI 206 & 278

Cricket Web Green won by an innings and 7 runs

Man of the match: Eclipse

Coach's Comments:
Eclipse finally finds form after a lean streak in international cricket. A timely century was backed by a batting lineup where almost everyone contributed nicely against the old men bowlers. With the ball, Sanz got the job done in the first innings with another fine spell of bowling. Rose and Ahmad were also quite good. In the second innings, it was Master Blaster who took up the challenge and led the attack. Once more Rose and Ahmad were impressive in support. A tremendous win this one, as a couple of names have just about booked their flights for the 'A' tour (at least).

South Africa 'A' 220 & 222
Cricket Web Red 191 & 252/8

Cricket Web Red won by 2 wickets

Man of the match: Dave

Coach's Comments:
There comes a time in every cricketer's career when he comes of age. Steve Harmison did it against the West Indies and Dave does it now. On a day when he just had everything functioning smoothly, Dave found the rhythm that took him to his maiden 5w haul in FC cricket to limit SA 'A' to a mediocre first innings score. The Reds first innings wasn't much better though, with the international players (bar Bugssy) failing. Zaid Ghansar was once again called upon for a crucial lower order effort and Dave hung in there nicely too. South Africa A batted again and Muhaffy caught fire. His bowling was dead on and surprisingly making use of the swing in the air due to the overhead clouds. With Dave, Muhaffy shredded the SA lineup and set up a useful chase target for the Reds. Craig and Cloete didn't last long, but Blewy, Eyes, Bugssy and Marc showed their experiencem before Muhaffy played the crucial innings of 20 not out to take it home. Very very impressive win here.

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Cheers mate, Really happy i finally got my first 5 fer. The New Ball 5D partnership is really looking good for future matches mate. 11 wickets for the game between us, looking good.

9 wickets for the match was the best bowling in my short CW XI Career, Cant say how happy i am, and hope i continue the form into other matches.
