You could just do what if I ever bowl leg spin and say it's a slider when it just doesn't turn.
Neil's made a lifetime of cricket playing out of bowling the slider. :p

A live sim will be held at 8am my time tomorrow. That's 1pm London time and (I believe) 10pm Sydney time.

Gah. Tripe batting and not great keeping. Really need to concentrate a bit more!
Not hard to guess why! You`re SR almost neared fifty in the first-innings, slow down a bit son. :cool:

Interesting bug in the output:

Cricket Web XI 1st Innings
Starting bowlers are Vaas & Muralitharan.

Malinga was actually opening the bowling though.

Anyway, brilliant effort from the whole team. Much deserved win.

1-0, what a game Dave, hope this is a sign of things to come this season and for the rest of the series (ahh the other game)

Great start to the test series!

Liam and Andy were on fire with the bat and DK and Halsey dominated with the ball. Great signs for CW hopefully the guys can improve a bit more to make it a 2-0 series win. :)

That wasn't a bug. I accidentally picked Murali and then had to change him.

Brilliant stuff Halsey! and well batted Liam, Andy, Pete and Marc.

Wonderful way to notch up a win! Congrats all involved :)

Thoroughly excellent performance all round boys, but we'll need to keep this going into the second Test and then throughout the summer if we're to beat the best side in the world over five matches. Top batting from Pete, Cloete, Marc and Liam (and I think the tailenders deserve some recognition for staying with him to see him to 100), whilst all the bowlers performed well and we even held most of our catches.

Nice to get the follow-on call dead right too. What I call effective engorcement!

Very nice to get a win on the board!

At this rate, though, Jamee will have to keep... :(
Those pesky left-armers.

You've now been out 9 times to left-armers in your 17 times dismissed. Twice to left-arm spinnes and 7 times to seamers.

When dismissed by a left-armer, you average 20.11.Your average is 49.14 otherwise.

EDIT: In 9 of 39 dismissals in the Dev League last season, a left-armer was responsible.
