[Robertinho]

Calm down Wilson, I'm not having a go at you!

 

[Mister Wright]

And I was just pointing out that other players are being treated a lot worse in that situation.

Where were you pointing that out? Seemed to me like another whinge.

 

[Loony BoB]

Calm down Wilson, I'm not having a go at you!

Seemed pretty calm to me. =P

Almost wish I didn't watch the final day of that match, it was great up until then.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Cwbcc really needs to have a chat to thier groundsman....rain delays when playing in a dome ....ok who left the sprinklers on?

We're not allowed to close the roof during Tests. The ECB said it wouldn't be in the spirit of English cricket.

Will the game be live simmed? or just simmed by yaself in ya own time?

 

[David]

My prediction - CW to win the second test by 150 runs.

We've all looked long and hard at that second innings, and we've steeled ourselves. We are not afraid of England.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Any news of the XII for the 2nd test tomorrow night?

Good to see an unchanged XII. I think we really couldve cracked them last game and deserved more than what we got. Lets hope we continue on and improve. P.S. Also beat them

2nd Test Match
at the Cricket Web Oval

Cast your minds back to a week ago...
The Cricket Web XI, facing a task of survival on the fifth day of the first Test, crumbled against the quality of English pace bowling.

There was drama all around... a bit of misfortune...

0.5 Hoggard to Mørk : That's a loud shout!!! There's the finger! He's not happy about that, Mørk. He reckons he hit it. He glances up at the big screen on his way off, and he's justified. Not the start the Webheads needed...

...but fortune favours the brave...

8.5 Hoggard to Goff : BANG! He's had enough. Goff just smashed that one over point without any regard. No foot movement, just brutal aggression.

...alas, even the brave sometimes fall...

16.5 S Jones to Goff : He's knocked him over!! What a delivery! A fast reverse-swinging yorker with a ball less than 17 overs old. Fabulous stuff from England. Cricket Web in tatters - it's 60/5.

...and although the prelude may change, the final scene of the script remained the same...

27.2 Hoggard to Wright : That's popped up off the pad! Simplest of catches for Bell, and that's it! England take the first Test, and Hoggard has 5!

...but now we move to the second act of this 5-part play. The Cricket Web XI have had time to regroup... to examine themselves. Now they prepare to face off once more with Michael Vaughan and his world-class outfit. Many questions. How many will the home team be prepared to answer...

Welcome to the CW Oval for the second Test match of England's maiden visit to CWLand. The visitors are up 1-0 in the series and remain the firm favourites to take the series. What more do the hosts have to offer?

A few minutes ago, Phil Tufnel was with the captains in the middle.

Phil Tufnel: Michael Vaughan has called heads.
And it falls tails.
Phil Tufnel: Well, Brendon, you've won the toss, what are you going to do?
BG: We'll bat first. The pitch looks great. Looks like a lot of runs for the taking.
PT: Michael?
MV: We'd have liked to bat first, but the boys are rearing to get out there either way. Lots of confidence in the camp.

And now we're ready for play to begin. Mørk and Young are walking to the middle...

 

[kears_falcon_9]

****..... once again we played as good if not better than them for a period of time.. Great batting by Goff just badluck the rest of the team didnt take the great start on and make a huge total. The bowlers struggled a bit but it was a good batting pitch and we just didnt put enouhg on the borad. Happy to finally hit some runs in the international scene.

Lets get the result next time boys com on.

 

[thewizard1o1]

A good performance, a few of the other batsman needed to carry on the great start of Goff and Mork to really put the English to the sword. That being said the test team is performming very weel against one of the strongest teams in the world. Bring on game 3!

 

[David]

Disappointing result right there fellas. Batsmen did their job but Bowlers lacked pentration. Regardless of that though we did well, chin up for next game! We're assured of victory from here on in.

 

[Mister Wright]

Disapointing loss. We should have made more runs on that pitch in the first innings. Great batting from the skipper. The bowling was good considering the conditions, however on a personal note I would have liked to have had more of an impact.
