12th man: Master Blaster.
No changes here. The batsmen just didn't click, but the everyone tried hard and the bowler's especially did little wrong. The mood in the camp is positive and everyone is well aware of how crucial this 2nd Test is.
Best of luck to all involved.

Very proud to be re-selected and hopefully I can resume from where I took off in the first test. I am well aware that I need to continue peforming.
Good luck boys.

Well, why aren't I surprised at that.
Defend them.
Mind you there wouldn't have been chagnes if the side had been skittled out for less than 100 on each occasion - it appears that some people were fast tracked into the side, and it will take a run of about 10 poor games to remove them.

It's good to see those not in the team giving their support.
It is good to have the same 12 back together again, we are hungry to avenge what happened in the first test.

Once again I'm thrilled at being retained and being part of a special unit, with a world class side. I do know my day will come when I cement my name in this starting XI.
But to what really is important right now,
We're on the brink here mates, lets go and keep the CW Spirit High and lets win one from here.
Lets show those Sri Lankan's what we're made of.

2nd Test
CW Oval
Now the Webheads look to rebound and send their first ever home series into a 3rd and deciding Test. With the confidence of an unchanged XI and the shifting of the series to a more batsman-friendly surface, hope is still very much alive.
Skipper Blewy exudes confidence, but matches up with Marvan Atapattu and his men, who have stolen away the momentum of the Chairman's Trophy. A world-class batting lineup and an attack spearheaded by a world-class seamer does battle with the experienced CW XI batting and inexperienced seam bowling.
Sri Lanka are the favourites, but these Webheads have so much fire and desire that you can't count them out of anything. They came back in the One Day Internationals and they surely can do so here.

A week ago things fell apart for the CW XI as they were wrecked for the second lowest total in Cricket Web history. Despite the spirit of the bowlers, Sri Lanka got home by the comfortable margin of 6 wickets.

Geez that first innings was huge from the Sri Lankans, had the webbers on the back foot from the very begining. The third is there for the taking, so go at it with both hands.

Second highest total conceded in Test by the XI. Ironically, or perhaps very telling, is that Sri Lanka also scored the highest ever opposing innings - 551/6 declared at Colombo and 551/7 declared at Calcutta.thewizard1o1 said:

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Fifty-two overs, and I'm not good after that.
Two consecutive non-shows from a lot of the batting order, too

Thank the world for Eclipse...
