Hmmm....interesting. Langeveldt will bowl 4th and bat 12th. Did you realize that you forgot yourself out of the first XI?

Another thing. I will be simming the third and fifth Tests right?

G.Kirsten (3)
J.Kallis (4)
J.Rudolph (5)
M.Van Jaarsveld (6)
M.Boucher+ (7)

S.Elworthy (10)
M.Ntini (11)

12th Man : P.Adams (12)

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Teach you not to pick me...

Maybe you'll get picked for England by the time we get around to touring in the future. Maybe not...:P

 

[Langeveldt]

OOps! Ill just amend that

 

[Blewy]

Despite being overlooked for the 1st test, Blewy has vowed to fight his way back into the side...

It shouldn't be hard with poor performances like that one...
:P :P :P :P

 

[PY]

Teach you not to pick me...

And me!!

Sorry about the confusion regarding the selection At least this isnt the ECB you are talking to :P

Blewy, you should get a game in the third test judging by how we batted this time round (except for Cloete and Eddie :rolleyes: )

[Cloete]

I will sim the 3rd Test tomorrow afternoon at 4pm local Time: 9pm British time.

The SA sqaud will be announced before the game.

BTW, Cloete has reached 1000 CWXI runs with that double hundred. Congratulations!

 

[luckyeddie]

Woo hoo.

 

[Simon]

ur a champ andy, 227 would be more than you have scored in your entire career id say :P
seeing as though im listed as a possible 6th bowler, looks like ill have to leave the pub half an hour ealier for training and get a few deliveries in in the nets.

 

[David]

Good to see a great win on the boards after a shocker of a first test. Keep up the good work.

 

[Tim]

In my bid to break the 160 k barrier I may have been a bit wayward so could the Captain please define whether he wants me to bowl out & out pace or cut down on pace & remain accurate?

 

[marc71178]

Due to my lack of form , I have decided to step down from the XI.

Such a noble gesture will earn you good karma in a future life.

 

[Cloete]

227 would be more than you have scored in your entire career id say

you couldn't be more wrong!!! i've scored 2000-3000

 

[lord_of_darkness]

can either lang or mxy mail me the squad files for cwXI for the syed rehman to reuben@globe.net.nz

the way mxy simmin it , its workin better cause everyone we named in bowling bowls , in urs lang i got 3 overs in 1st innings and 1 in 2nd..!!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

In all truth, In think only one person should sim a series to maintain consistency. One big reason for this is if, by chance we lose the 3rd Test, people may say that I am cheating or something of the sort because we lost 2 matches on my watch. Not to say that anyone has accused me of cheating though. Just hypothetically. Here comes the 3rd Test.
