[Mr. P]

you forgot to add...."and a brilliant all round effort from Mr. Ponting, who backed up 3 and 4 wicket spells, with two not outs batting at 10"

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Well what can I say...

Don't bowl the Paid The Umpire fella until you are in such deep doodoo that nobody can pull them out!

A fourty and then a twenty and one over for five.

Not a bad start, for a non-fourday player. Also I don't dance anybody unless it is in the nets.

 

[age_master]

i think i will just go and cry in a corner


Age Master b. Williams


i really must be our of practice

 

[Mr. P]

hey, what you got against brad williams?

 

[age_master]

dont like him and dont think hes that great. just my opinion though

 

[bugssy]

atleast i got myself back in the good books with a solid 59 in the 2nd inings



i didnt even bowl in the 1st inings.

Coach's Comments:-
CWXI Test players arrive and are in the XI : Broncoman, Age Master, Marc71178, Bugssy, Eyes_Only, R_Powell_fan, Sunil Havascar, Umpire Money, Mr Ponting, Chris Hinton, Neil Pickup. Smashing start from Broncoman with a classic knock from Bugssy in the middle. Great allround performance from Bugssy.
-----------------
I've added a new player ratings system to the averages spreadsheet so that I can easier choose the All Star team and MVP at the end of the season. So, after ever two match days I will give the top 5 rated Dev players.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

[R_Powell_fan]

Awwww....... a duck........

Come to think of it I've never scored a duck in my life..........

Liam:- what was the avg. you put for me in the editor....out of interest...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

R_Powell_fan

21 OD Bat
25 5D Bat

All avges have been slightly altered to produce more realistic results (eg bowling avge of <20 is not very realistic).

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

CW Dev XI for 5D match against New Zealand 'A'...

Paid the Umpire
Broncoman
Bugssy
Marc71178
Age Master
Eyes Only +
R_Powell_fan
Umpire Money *
Sunil Havascar
Mr Ponting
Neil Pickup

12th Man: Peter Young

Test players Neil Pickup and Broncoman return to the XI. Anyone who misses out in this game is susceptible to losing his or her place to PY for the next 5D game.

 

[Mr. P]

bad to bat at 10

 

[R_Powell_fan]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy, I'm in the starting XI !!!!!!
