An unlucky ND team went down to SA in their Round 9 match. Eyes_Only doesn't have all the details yet but is sure that she will be hearing from GB sometime soon!! :P
On the whole she is very happy with the team's performance and won't make too many changes to the team for next week's match.

A really well batting performance from Michael bevan gave NSW a really huge total of around the 320 mark ... Hampshire never put up a fight , with the batting showing its weakness again
hampshire's manager was real disgusted with the loss and said that it will take the team more than a miracle to win the ca cup semis against NSW
the team will be given 20 leashings each , so they remember something good from all this
We will be doing some hardout fitness training and see if things get better

The bourbon will be flowing in Wales tonight as Glamorgan posted ints 2nd win on the trot. The Glamorgan manager is ecstatic after watching his team thrash Worcestershire by 8 wickets.
Parkin snapped up a couple of quick wickets including Graeme Hick for 7 and once Kadeer Ali was run out, Worcs were 3/16. A fighting 97 run partnership between Smith and Peters was undone by Parkin before Akram and Cosker took 3 wickets each to bowl Worcs out for 203 in the 43rd over. Parkin 3/25, Akram 3/39 and Cosker 3/31 shared the bowling honours.
The batsmen showed their reliability two weeks in a row as Hemp and Newell put on 140 for the 1st wicket at better than a run a ball. Hemp was eventually dismissed for 64 off 58 balls. Maynard only contributed 19 but by then it was all over. Newell hit the winning runs and was unbeaten on a heartbreaking 99 at the end. With 18 overs to spare the result was never in question.
The Glamorgan manager was asked for a quote after the game and responded with:
"Some of the boys had only just got over their hangovers from last week's win so it was a great effort."

In what has been called the greatest ever upset in the history of the WORLD CLUB CRICKET LEAGUE Tasmania has beaten Somerset.
The teams at opposite sides of the ladder were never expected to have a close match and the result looked to be a forgone conclusion at the start of the day.
Yet openers Dean Hills and Jamie Cox started with a flurry of blows and when Hills and Cox where finished Tasmania had ended up on 237 with the loss of three wickets. Cox(113) and Hills(88) were the stars, their 209 run opening stand more than doubling the previous best for the division.
Somerset started strong and were 1-87, but they continually lost steady wickets to end at 9-200 after their 50. D Wright took another 3 wickets as he climbed the rankings for best bowler.
So, Tasmania have still got a chance of finishing top of the table but will need more performances like this weekend.
TAS 3-237 J.Cox 113, D.Hills 88, A.Caddick 2-41
SOM 9-200 P.Holloway 44, M.Lathwell 48*, D.Wright 3-38
MOM: Jamie Cox 113 (143)

nsw manager a happy man after the close game last week against slats qld bulls only loosing by 1 wicket nsw really come out all guns blazing. and at 1 stage where in all sorts @ 3 - 30. but a magnificent innings by the worlds best one day batsmen m bevan with an unbeaten 143 (133), really set up the visitors with a massive score. bevan was supported well by s waugh 54 (52) and wccc debutant m clarke 76 (59).nsw setting up a nice total of 5 - 304 of there 50 overs. best of the bowling was C.Tremlett 10 2 37 1
nsw needing to defend this big total and new it wasnt going to be easy but the nsw bowlers took over where the batsmen finished. hampshire all out for 151 of 26 overs and the only batsmen to do anything was S.Udal 38(26).the bowling was pretty good across the board.

Round 8 - Tamil Nadu v Kent @ Tamil Nadu
Well the Kent team arrived for what was going to be an absolutely thrilling match, if the previous results between the two team were anything to go by.
The weather was hot and the crowd hostile as ever, but Kent kewn that if they could contain the batting power of Tamil Nadu then they would win the game as their bowling has been very weak all seasons, not a single bowler in the top 25 of the averages tells the whole story for itself.
The captains walked to the middle for the toss, under extremely hot and humid conditions, M.Felming, called tails, and lost the toss and what Kent were dreading Tamil Nadu elected to bat first. It wasn’t the end of the world but the bowling might be tight and the fielding at the highest quality.
M.McCague & D.Masters opened the attack and they were punished almost immediately, which the fielding restrictions on Kent struggled to contain the constant flow of runs from the opening duo of S.Ramesh & J.Madanagopal who were scoring freely all around the wicket. The second line of attack couldn’t dislodge the pair either with M.Felming being punished more than most however was forced to bowl this allotted overs as no else bar M.Walker had much bowling experience however was unlikely to get any assistance on a spinners pitch.
The skipper decided to give his openers another crack at them and the decision was rewarded nearly instantly, when S.Ramesh was cleaned bowled by M.McCague for a superbly constructed century, however the ball before S.Ramesh was removed the pair bought up the double hundred partnership and in good time to, which left them some time to attack and develop a good score into a big total. With the first wicket done Kent felt a small glimmer hope coming their way, until they looked and saw that the player heading towards the crease was none other than, by far the best batsman in the league so far S.Sharath. Kent needed to get him early to keep the score down however S.Sharath played himself in and began to attack the bowlers, Kent’s bowlers were having a torrid time and the hot conditions weren’t helping matters. Good news did come J.Madanagopal was dismissed by a silly run out incident where there was never a run on, J.Madanagopal departed for a well constructed 120 coming off 129 balls. Tamil Nadu went on the attack but paid the price with McCague taking a second wicket in his last over dismissing the danger man S.Sharath, but not before he did the damage scoring 45 of 55 balls.
Tamil Nadu finished off the innings and at the end had massed an intimidating score of 287/3 @ 5.74 an over. Kent would need to bat well to obtain the target, but it wasn’t impossible and it had been an improvement from when Kent were last here needing to chase 330+ before to win.
Kent’s bowling was below par and you can’t afford to give Tamil Nadu anything to play with. The innings would have been a lot worse had M.Ealham not bowled a relatively tight over in the context of the game, finishing with figures of 10 overs none for 43.
Kent’s reply would need to have a batsman playing a big innings to stand a chance of winning. Under the intense heat of the midday sun beating down on the players it was going to be hard work.
But for the fourth game in a row the openers parted early and it was required for the top/middle order to try to recover the situation. R.Key was dismissed for just 6 of 14 balls. A.Loudon dug in and was determined to stay in and retrieve the situation for Kent in only his second game, Loudon was joined in the middle by the most reliable batsman in the team B.Lara, B.Lara guessed that attack was the best choice in the situation and blasted and wonderful 99, playing all the strokes in the book and never looked like being dismissed. A.Loudon 47 (75) was finally dismissed for a good solid innings, however he was unable to increase the run rate and he costs the Kent a few overs that could have been very useful at the end. Lara was joined at the crease by another youth player M.Banes who is more generally more attacking than A.Loudon, and could hopefully increase the rate. The pair put on a useful partnership of 96 which put the game at a evenly balanced position. However two quick wickets meant that the game was all but Tamil Nadu’s for the taking, Lara and Banes went for 99 and 67 respectively. Kent now had two new batsman at the crease (Ealham and Felming) and facing an ever rising rate that they needed to score at however they kept up with it for a time before Ealham was dismissed for 14 at just over a run a ball.
Kent ended up falling just 11 runs short of the required target meaning that they now have lost 4 in a row and need a win next week in the bottom of the table clash with Tassie.
Tamil Nadu bowling was ok but nothing special stood out.

TN – 287/3

Yorkshire v Lanceshire
Yorkshire is 5th
After having the worst percentage in both divisions a 100 run win puts them ahead of Warwickshire on percentage and if we win the next 5 games we can make 2nd.
A steady batting with 52 by two batsmen but also steady bowling with 3 wickets to two bowlers. Out of an outstanding team performance somehow D.Gough got his second straight man of the match.
Next week the in form Yorkshire could move out of the race for relegation if they win which would make it 5 from 6 games.
Jason the Manager had this to say:
"we are playing well and with Hoggard coming back next week we can only get betta.Our only goals are to make the Ca Cup final and not get relagated and we are 3 wins away from doing both."
With no players from Yorkshire in the top ten bowlers or batsmen in the divison it is a team effort at the moment and the manager having faith in the same players each week.
Thank you no applause.

Mumbai vs Western Australia
It was a new shaky western australia team coming in the field with their new Manager ryan , they were still a bit shocked on receving news that the old manager had left the team ,
This game was going to be hard as Mumbai was high ranked in the table
Mumbai won the toss and elected to bat they scored 228/5 with V.Kambli top scoring 53 and brad williams being best of the bowlers 10 overs 58 runs for 3 wickets . Hogg bowled well with 10 - 4 maidens - 21 but was unlucky not to get any wickets.
This target although reachable seemed a bit tough for Western Australia. A shaky start saw A.Gilchrist going out for 2! and then wickets fell at regulkar intervals only J.Langer top scored with 59 but the rest of the team did not contribute well enough at the end of the day Western Australia were bowled out for 171 in 45 overs with R.Morris demolishing the batting with figures of 9 overs 5 maidens 15 runs and 4 wickets truly a match winning bowling performance the other bowlers A.Dani and A.Agarkar did really well in supporting Morris .
A truly good game from mumbai who won on the day playing good allround cricket
The W.A manager will be looking for a better team and better results for the next round .
