*Official* England in CWLand Tour Thread

[Mister Wright]

I couldn't be more happier with my performance in the 4th test. It has been a long time since I made a substantial contribution, and even though 3 of my 4 wickets were tailenders the wicket of Flintoff was an important one. However, I couldn't have done it without the other bowlers who made such a great effort. It was a great team performance by everyone. Congratualations to Robbins and Camps for standing up when it counted.

Well done guys and lets keep this form coming and make it 2 wins in a row. Congrats to Bryce on making his debut also.

77.3 Wright to Giles : EGDED! TAKEN!!! Peter Young holds one of the most significant catches in CW history, and the CW XI has beaten England, a team at the height of its powers.

The series gone, but pride alive.

Fresh off their second ever Test win against England, the Webheads look to consolidate their new-found form and press on to a respectable margin when all is said and done.

4 fascinating Tests in the bag, we return to the Cricket Web Oval...

England in CWLand
brought to you by Nibblets - "chewable breath mints of swell refreshment"

Welcome to the CW Oval for the fifth and final Test of this series. The last time we were here, the hosts challenged England well, but lost by a comfortable 7 wickets.

Now they look to spring a complete reversal of form, and show that victory in the 4th Test was not a fluke. England will be primed to re-establish their authority, and thus, we're all set for a tremendous game of cricket.

Michael Vaughan has won the toss, and England will bat first.

Disappointing not to win it, but, we can hold our heads up high, we gave it our all and showed the world that we mean business, other nations, look out!

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Andrew Flintoff has been named the Man of the Series.

 

[age_master]

Very solid debut by Bryce.

 

[cbuts]

sorry boys, very dissapointing series on a personal note,
C.R. Butler 5 10 1 341 37.89 75 0 3 3 0
and to be honest that is inflated by a last test performance. which admittedly im proud of, but its a pitty that i failed to show up for the four test prior to that.

 

[cbuts]

now bring on the ODI's.
we havent had many ODI's for a while, so it will be nice to be back in the grey!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well, I comprehensively had the better of Ashley. That's about all I can say on the average front.

Looks like that series was won by their seamers against our top and middle order

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Bad Luck boys good to paly soem decent cricket as a team in the end. Sorry bout my batting in tha game really let us down. only 3 runs for the match.

Lets keep goin foward and take the ODI series.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Blacks to take on England XI: (OD)
Callum Thompson
Ash Chaulk (Keeper)
Simon Jones
Chris Butler
David Kearsley
Alex Blackman
Michael Wilson
Darren Dubb Lynch
Gareth Gooljar
Chris Broadbent
Neil Pickup (C)

With the bolwing being: Broadbent, Thompson, Wilson, Pickup, (Gooljar, Kearsley, Butler to share other 10 overs if one does well then keep him on etc.)

 

[roseboy64]

Good effort guys. Too bad.

 

[NZTailender]

Good effort guys. Good luck for the ODI series..

 

[Mister Wright]

Great effort to hold out England on the final day, despite Kennett trying his hardest to jinx the side...

 

[Cloete]

Well.. what a series!!!

Great effort by the boys to make it 3-1, considering we were in with a shot in basically every game. I definitely think that series, despite the result, is a credit to us!

Personally, I'm reasonably happy with being the third highest average holder (although Bryce only played one game) and the top run scorer for CW, 3rd top with Tresco for most in the series. I'm very disappointed that I got 4 50's and a 40 though. I coul dhave done alot better with that 92 and the 80 odd.

But yeah definitely a great series for CWXI cricket! Best of luck for the ODI's, I'll be trying to score some runs with Blue in the mean time!!

 

[Nate]

Well done Bryce, encouraging debut. But you gotta laugh at

B.C. Cunningham b Giles 2 4

Well done to our batting and Kennett was comfortably our best bowler, great form.

 

[Robertinho]

Good stuff guys, congrats to Bryce on his debut, and well done to Blewy, Cloete, etc

We played well, 3-1 is no embarrassment

 

[Nate]

My bad, well done Blewy for inspirational leadership, a good series for you with the bat amidst much pressure.
