Where to from here?

6-0-54-0.

And a 10 wicket loss.

0 (1) b. D Gough

Dissapointing in so many ways, especially after the opening pair of matches.

Can we have SS and PP details Liam?

Well.

That was an old fashion DB.

 

[Robertinho]

Whoa.... still 2-1 up

 

[Jamee999]

Vikky came on for GBH right?

 

[steds]

Btw, why's Chaulk not opening anymore? Being phased out?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Harmison.

England destroy Web, as life flows back into series
Herbert Bicknell at the CW Oval

When Brendan Goff walked out to the wicket today, at 1.04 pm, to perform the toss, with England captain Michael Vaughan, 2-0 down in the 7 match series, Goff and the whole of CricketWebLand, must have felt supremely confident and on top of the world. At 7.56 pm, when Liam Camps ran into bowl, and Andrew Strauss and Marcus Trescothick ran two runs, Goff must have wanted the ground to eat him. The Cricket Web XI, pride of the nation had lost the 3rd ODI by 10 wickets.

Trescothick and Strauss bring up the 100 partnership, on their way to victory

The game had started with a bang, Darren Gough bowling Liam Camps for a golden duck.

Darren Gough, in celebration

Markus fell with the score at 50 but then Goff and Butler came together and put on 108 for the 3rd wicket, here are some screen captures from Smash TV:


The partnership in full flow

Ashley Giles bowled well

Collingwood dismissed Kearsley, and then soon after, Goff and Towns fell in the same over and suddenly from 158/2 the Web had slipped to 197/6!

Robbins and Chaulk started hitting out, allthough the Red captain was out, a quick cameo at the end from Dave Watt who hit a quick 10* off just 6 deliveries.

The target was 249, defendable and chaseable, or so was thought, but the Webheads were blown away by Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss, centuries from both of them propelled them to victory.

It's late in the day, and it can't be long until the match has been won by England

Gutted.

 

[cricketboy29]

Dang, man, that sucks, especially the way we were playing in the first two games.

 

[steds]

How come the fielders in the background aren't wearing CW grey?

 

[Jamee999]

In an oversight by the kit manufacturers they had forgotten to provide a uniform to the SuperSup, so he had to borrow one from the Colts.

In the top picture though, it's a ball boy, the ball had run off the bat and Strauss was just posing for the cameras when unfortunately the kid, who was waring an Aussie replica shirt, got in the frame.
