Going on West Indian time I assume, means things are running as planned?

Does that mean there'll be a live sim sometime soon?

Given that the time in Trinidad is about noon now, it could be any time in the next 12 hours. Saw Liam posting though...
Hehe. I guess I'll keep an eye on MSN then. ;)

Webheads Collapse To Third Loss

Disappointing first use of an excellent batting surface was shown up by Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, as the CW XI collapsed to another defeat. Slipping from 126/2 to 200 all out, the hard work of the top order was undermined toward the end.

The Australians then showed the Webheads exactly how good a batting surface it was at the BCG. A century opening stand was up by the end of the 15th over and there was no clawing back for Cricket Web.

Robbins and Pickup bowled good spells to save some on net run rate, but it was far too little and Australia cruised home. The CW XI has now lost three consecutive games and are pointless in the VB Series. They play Australia once more and Pakistan twice.

Code:
VB Series Standings						
		Played	Won	Lost	BP	Points	NRR
Australia	3	2	1	3	13	1.43
Pakistan	2	2	0	0	10	0.18
Cricket Web XI	3	0	3	1	1	-1.55

Another dissapointing loss in the VB series, keep your head down and work hard at training and CW will be on top in no time.

This is very dissapointing guys...

The batting has not fired at all this series, The top four got starts but 1 or 2 of us must go on and get biggers scores..

We really need to look at what we are doing, we know we have a team that can match and beat these teams however at the moment we are really down, So everyone keep working hard...

It's going to take a monumental effort to get back into this series - application's the key word, we can't keep making sub-par totals and win matches.

Only six batsmen made double figures - and one was me (it was a very, very big six off Lehmann), we need this to be seven, eight and nine - and people need to go on to fifties and centuries.

As for bowling, economy is one thing, but we need to start picking up more wickets to go with this as economy alone just isn't good enough in ODIs.

Your coach might think differently.
