Neil is replaced by MB. This is the first time Neil will miss a Test since his debut for the CW XI, but unfortunately the Aussies are dealing with him far too comfortably. 2/169 from 36 is just not good enough.

Congratulations to Master Blaster on his Test debut!

Cricket Australia: Love comes in for an injured Martyn. We considered Michael Clarke, but then we came to our senses. :)

The pitches did not suit spin.

MacGill's wickets were due to inept batting.

And I don't think I've been out this Series :P

3rd Test : CW XI in Australia

Brilliant batting from Eclipse with a series of cuts and pull which amazed the Sydney crowd. Brilliant bowling for Top Cat to keep us in the game but ultimately it was the bowling in the second innings which let us down. Ten overs were rained during the Australian innings.

Eclipse (1389) crossed 1000 Test runs in the first Test.

Rich_2001 (1676) crossed 1500 Test runs in the first Test.

Lucky Eddie (98) is 2 wickets shy of 100 Test wickets.

Andre needs (837) 163 runs to reach 1000 Test runs.

Blewy (870) needs 130 runs to reach 1000 Test runs.

Eclipse (3) overtook Broncoman for the second leading hundred-maker for the CW XI in the 3rd Test.

To date, only 4 (Cloete, Eclipse, Broncoman, Blewy) CW XI players have Test hundreds.

Captain Rich_2001 has 16 fifties, but is yet to cross 100 in Test cricket. His highest score is 89.
