[Mr Mxyzptlk]

CW 'A' v Somerset - 4D

Cricket Web 'A' 442/5d & 158/5d
Somerset 390 & 146/6

Cricket Web 'A' draw with Somerset

Man of the match: Gibbs N Smith

How OUT:
1st
Craig - inside edge onto pad. Unlucky.
Broncoman - top-edged hook shot.
Gibbs N Smith - not playing a shot.
Age Master - dragged on from a foot outside off'.
Peter Young - moved too far across and lost legstump.
Langeveldt - not out.
Sam Vimes - not out.

2nd
Craig - hard flash to cover point.
Broncoman - playing across the line.
Gibbs N Smith - caught at slip off a flashing edge.
Age Master - lofted square drive.
Peter Young - not out.
Langeveldt - massive sweep and missed completely.
Sam Vimes - not out.

Coach's Comments:
Fantastic heart once again, but the bowling was held up by the Aussie on both occasions. Still came pretty close to victory though and a lot of what was hoped to be accomplished has been. Broncoman and Peter Young found some good form, as Gibbs N Smith and Craig continued to enhance their reputations. Rose started poorly but came back well. Dave was pretty solid throughout. On FC debut, Rob Timewell was accurate as always and fetched enough swing in the second innings to earn his maiden FC wickets - congratulations to him for that.

i didnt retire from 1d cricket, it just so happens my 1d batting average of 10 doesnt fill the selectors with much confidence i can get the job done!

 

[age_master]

hmm another draw, dissapointing not to be winning these games, Bowlers need to work at taking more wickets

 

[Craig]

Ha another 100 to me, and I managed to get a bowl

You did retire. There's evidence of it somewhere on the forum... I think.

[Simon]

You did retire. There's evidence of it somewhere on the forum... I think.

i did?!?!?!

as long as it furthers my test career im happy to run with that

 

[Neil Pickup]

I can't actually find any evidence to that effect...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

It's either on the forum or via MSN. It's somewhere I tell ya!

 

[Simon]

well if i didnt before i do now!!!!!

just to make it easier on everyone

 

[PY]

Glad to get some match practice with the 'A' Team lads. Made a tidy contribution and I must learn not to sway when batting and get my leg pole knocked out of the ground....

Makes a change from standing on it... Talk about getting in a pickle...

Care to enlighten?

Cricket Web 'A' vs Ireland
Dublin
OD Match

CRICKET WEB 'A' 297/6 50.0 overs
IRELAND 115 35.4 overs

Cricket Web 'A' won by 182 runs

Man of the match: Ian Markus

How OUT:
Craig - bottom-edged pull.
Sam Vimes - played across the line.
Jason Toogood - driven hard to midoff and run out backing up too far.
Ian Markus - not out.
Deeps - loose flash outside offstump.
Langeveldt - looked to pull a full one.
Imran Khan Jr. - hit by some late inward movement.
Tom Halsey - not out.

Coach's Comments:
The biggest win of the tour to date here. Ian Markus was fantastic once again in a controlled yet powerful unbeaten knock. Jason Toogood and Craig flourished at the top, but the surprising and crucial role was that of Tom Halsey in a fine lower order effort. The bowling was as sharp as was expected, with Dave and Rose making early inroads. However, the real star proved A Massive Zebra to make easy work of the middle and lower order batting.

Can I play for the 'A' team until the Test series against Bangladesh starts?Just want to get some match practice and maybe help out if i can and i'm not whining.Just bored.

Am I the only one who thinks it's unfair on those selected in the A squad to be replaced by those who've been called into the main squad and then left out of one form or the other?
