Mike Wilson is a marginally better OD player, so he was picked ahead of you for the allrounder spot. For the spots of the specialist seamers, Rose and Borcich impressed in the warmup. Borcich has failed to do so in the 'A' matches since though, so you're in with a shot for the remainder of the series.
Cool, sounds like my chances are shot then. :D

Clinical bowling leads Webheads to 2-0
Cricket Web 'A' vs West Indies 'A'
3rd OD at St. Lucia

The Cricket Web 'A' bowlers put on another solid show to guide their team to an unbeatable 2-0 over their West Indian counterparts. Rose, Cunningham and Wilson shared 7 wickets, and Weber and Bennett bowled tight spells in a 25-run victory.

The seamers did the early damage, but the West Indies 'A' batsmen simply could not find any momentum against the Webhead spin attack as they rebuilt toward respectability. Omari Banks and Richard Kelly played well to lift the score from 84/5, but the demand of the chase was simply too much in the end.

Although the pitch promised to be great for batting, its slow nature proved the undoing of several batsmen and frustration for all. Cricket Web 'A' was inserted in damp conditions, and James Stedman and Dinu DeSilva batted supremely to post the score at 187/1 at the end of the 35th over. From that point there was a dramatic middle and lower order collapse and Alex Blackman's controlled presence was essential in carrying the score to 258/9.

Defending the total, the Webheads bowled with life and fielded with energy and purpose, ensuring that the more deserved team finished on top.

Cricket Web 'A' 258/9 (50 overs)
West Indies 'A' 233 ao (49.2 overs)

Cricket Web 'A' won by 25 runs.
Man of the Match: R Kelly

good win! but the middle order collapse is a bit worrying.
One of us should have gotten MOTM. My first significant knock on tour, feels good.

Windies need to win both of the remaining games to TIE the series. March on CricketWeb 'A'

Webheads cruise to boring victory
...and seal series 3-0
Cricket Web 'A' vs West Indies 'A'
4th OD at the Queen's Park Oval

It was another meek surrender by the West Indies 'A' team, as Sean Bennett guided Cricket Web 'A' to a 7-wicket win and an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. Bennett was unbeaten on 91 when victory came, with Cricket Web chasing just 187 for the result.

Though Daren Ganga won the toss, his batsmen could not vindicate the decision, slipping from an impressive position of 108/2 to 186 all out. Sylvester Joseph was again a key figure in the innings, but his composed half-century could not drive the home side on to greater things, and Tarick Weber continued his good series with 3 key wickets. Nath Patrick, playing his first game of the series, cashed in with 3 wickets at the end and finished with a 4-wicket haul.

Cricket Web 'A' lost Thamba Mamesh early to continue a poor run of OD scores for the man who dismantled the West Indian attack in the longer form. Bennett was reunited with familiar partner James Stedman, and the two looked to be building another solid partnership, though at a slower pace than typical. Stedman ultimately fell to frustration at the slowness of the surface, and Sean Fuller was allowed to build his first proper innings of the OD series.

He made the best of his opportunity, scoring a half-century in the cause. Unfortunately, he was out 5 runs short of the victory target. Andrew Garven scored a single off his only delivery then Bennett reverse-swept Breese to the boundary for the win.

West Indies 'A' 186 ao (45.3 overs)
Cricket Web 'A' 187/3 (46 overs)

Cricket Web 'A' won by 7 wickets.
Man of the Match: SA Bennett

:laugh:

Amazing stuff by the team. we`re all helping to dominate. Apart from the tied OD and a few other matches, we`ve looked invincible. Awesome tour, let`s finish it off well. Also good personally to get a chance in the OD form.

Good win. Excellent knock from Bennett, good bowling from the spinners and Nath definately made the best of his chance as well.

Pretty pleased with a 50 and an economical bowling effort too.

Good end to the series and the Tour. Wonderpul performances throughout. Hope this augurs well for the upcoming season with maybe a few of the team breaking into the senior lineup.
