CWXI v Holland.

Fast outfield+Flat pitch+Rich_2001 posessed!+Dutch bowlers= entertainment!

 

[Langeveldt]

Me and Lord are refining the squad, and I think the final eighteen is pretty much sorted

I will announce the squad, as well as full itinery for the SA tour very soon..... Let me say its going to be an awesome tour for cricket lovers

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The Cricketweb XI management (Langeveldt, Lord of Darkness and Mr Mxyzptlk) will be keeping in-depth stats for the tour and further ventures.

One of our initiatives is to keep constantly updated Cricketweb Career Averages. These have been formulated by simming games with the submitted averages and using the simmed results to update the averages. Anyone who wishes to know their career average at any point in time during the series or after, may PM me with such a request.

We are still working out our sponsors and, by extension, our line of commercials to promote the tour and our campaign slogon. Stay tuned for more details.

 

[Umpire Money]

it looks like i must be one of the umpires because it doesnt look like i get a go *sniff*.

oh and i will give you all out lbw hahahahah............hahahahaha...........hahahaha

umm haha

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Those are warmups. They are inconsequential. If you pray really hard and save up all your money, then maybe you'll make the substitute waterboy.....or you could just kill Rik and take his place.

(No offence Rik....it's purely business advice )

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Now to be fair to Umpire Money who accidentally overlooked, one more warmup game will be played, but all proceeds will go to charity.

The Cricketweb XI will take on an Invitational XI for the Olonga/Flower Charity Shield.

The Invitational XI: A.Flower (capt.), J.Rhodes (vc), M.Slater, M.Goodwin, L.Klusener, D.Crookes, D.Cullinun, Wasim Akram, Collins Obuya and of course Henry Olonga. 12th man:- Ajit Agarkar practicing his water carrying skills ahead of the upcoming Triangular Tournament.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Noteworthy efforts:-
1/Andy Flower 4 runs short of being the first Zimbabwean keeper to socre a century in the Charity Shield co-named after him.
2/Olonga first baller.
3/Apparently no one told Broncoman that the shield is in honour of Olonga, 'cause he smashed him to all parts of the ground.
4/T_C with a rear-guard hundred as he and LE put on an unbroken 131 for the last wicket.

How the hell did i get dropped after my performances against Australia & Holland?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

You weren't dropped. You were rested to give some others playing time. Don't worry, you're a front runner to make your Test debut against SA in the 1st Test.

 

[Umpire Money]

wow you didnt have to do that... that was nice of you but that only means that you have a hard decision because i dont think i played badly infact i think i played superbly if only i was a keeper or something.

Ill consider going 12th man like bichel every game

 

[Tim]

sweet as, should be fun then.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The SA XI and the CWXI should be announced sometime tomorrow. Stay tuned. We're still trying to come up with a team slogon so any ideas are welcome.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

okay mr mxy enough man , we should cut the warmups and get straight to the chase because every game we play has to be addeed to the avgs from now on , and every match has points on a table just like the icc one , and if the games are going to be simmed its only going to be the ones that lang , me and you totally decided on eg tours , tournaments etc..

thanks for doing the warmups though

ill name the squad shortly as ive got msgs from lang in my private Inbox

 

[Paid The Umpire]

What about me?

It isn't fair.

I've had enough NOW i want my share!

I'll be your sledging coach if need be!

A: "Question."
B: "Yes?"
A: "You stink!"

 

[Simon]

3/Apparently no one told Broncoman that the shield is in honour of Olonga, 'cause he smashed him to all parts of the ground.

Well what does he expect bowling that short on a deck like that.

 

[Cloete]

[Cloete]

ok well i just checked the other thread so just ignore the previous post. apart from the I RULE bit :P:P:P
