Coach's Comments:
Some interesting performances. The bowling looked very much out of practice, which is understandable due to the tour standoff. Hopefully we will sharpen up for the second Test.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

nice thanks liam..

 

[Mr. P]

Great to be involved in the team for the 1st time. Im actually rather happy with my bowling, what with everyone else getting pounded and taking no wickets and all.

Also is sweet getting boof out for my first ever wicket.

BREAKING NEWS! - Injury Report

Lord of Darkness still has 3 more games to sit out. He will return for then 5th and final Test.

Meanwhile, Broncoman will miss 3 games due to a broken finger sustained whilst facing Mr. Ponting in the nets today.

In the Australian camp, Lehmann sustained a hamstring injury which will end his series by keeping him out of the next 6 games.

 

[Blewy]

Blewy gladly puts his hand up for the vacant openers position...

 

[Andre]

As Andre keeps his fingers crossed for a recall following his recent sacking...

2nd Test - CW XI in Australia

A brilliant comeback by all involved. Some dedicated bowling after a tough first session which saw over 150 runs scored. Particularly impressive was TC.

With the bat, almost everyone got going and we showed that we can compete with this Australian side.

We tried our best.

 

[Mr. P]

Wow! What a match. Well played guys, toughed it out and did awesome in the end. Once again the highest match wicket taker for myself AND showing the same form with the bat that i did in the devs.

How did you guys live without me?

 

[Eclipse]

Move over Gilly 119* off 101 balls!!

plus a good 70odd in the first Inning's I am very happy with my performance in this match.

 

[masterblaster]

I was extremely thrilled with my warm up form!

**Acts Like Sourav Ganguly**

I got man of the match in my one and only warm up game for god sakes, and here I am carrying drinks!

Cmon Coach. Pick Me!

[masterblaster]

Well can't complain about my batting. Bowling's another story. But like the almighty AA, I think I can deliver the goods against Australia. AA = MB?

Yeah, I think I do play like him a little bit, or maybe like Ian Harvey? MB = Mix of AA and Ian Harvey = Good Player
