Great effort Marc, The top order for some reason has failed to fire so far in this WC, Our bowlers deserve massive amounts of praise in keeping us in the hunt. Now is the time to get serious though so i expect all batsman in a net session early tommorrow to get into it once and forall...

ENGLAND 232 46.2 overs
West Indies won by 57 runs
Man of the match: BC Lara

**CW XI vs New Zealand**
Date: 05-17-2004
CRICKET WEB XI VS NEW ZEALAND at Beausejour
50 overs match
Pitch Condition: Excellent
A tale of two teams. New Zealand will not qualify for the semi-finals regardless of the result in this game. Meanwhile, the Cricket Web XI has a good shot of going to the final four, which will be a confirmed spot with a win today.
The batting has been the problem for the CW XI thus far in this tournament and the bowling the problem for New Zealand. The pitch today will be typically flat and the outfield fast. As such, you'd have to back the Cricket Webhead batsmen to get it right today.
These teams have faced each other 7 times before, with the CW XI proving the 4-3 winner. Then it was Cloete who inspired the batting and Mr Ponting the bowling. Both those players will be called upon to perform again today.
Stephen Fleming has won the toss and chosen to chase. Three times in four matches, the CW XI has started with 2 wickets falling in a over early. Last time a late innings by Marc saved them, we'll see if he'll be called upon to do the same today...

0.1 Bond to Rich_2001, no run, Rich_2001 missed that one by a mile
Superb 91mph outswinger to kick off the innings.
0.2 Bond to Rich_2001, no run, Rich_2001 was completely deceived
He comes back with the in-nipper now and Rich is all over the place!

Great job guys!
The Net Run Rate will be a very close one to decide whether we face SA or Australia in the semi final.
Now if we could just get through the first over...
I'll open if you want! Or how about employing Eddie as a hitter?

Law of averages suggests you'll get some soon...PY said:Bugger me, I'm struggling desperately with the bat.
Got a shocking decision last time and a dirty ball this time. Don't really know what to say.
Sorry guys and I'm rather glad that we are still doing the business as a team!!!
As it stands, I have 12 wickets @ 19.50.. is that more than wickets you've got runs?!

**CW XI vs Pakistan**
Date: 05-18-2004
CRICKET WEB XI VS PAKISTAN at Bourda
50 overs match
Pitch Condition: Excellent
The only real meaning in this game today is huge. This will held decide the semi-final matchups as we come to the close of this thrilling 2004 World Cup. Pakistan are a beaten team, that will not make the final four. The Cricket Web XI, however, have recovered brilliantly in their last two games to secure a spot.
Whether or not they will go all the way, we wait to see.
These teams have never met each other before, so Inzamam wins the first toss between them and he'll field first on a flat Bourda wicket...
