CWC Pre-Season: T20 Mini-Series

[DJellett]

T20 Trial Match Four
CWC Trial XI B vs CWC Trial XI A

Day Two kicked off under blue skies at the B XI training compound, with the final three T20's of the mini-series to be completed before the day was out.

A few rotations in the squads saw Trial XI A stand-in skipper P Spark win the toss and elect to bat first, with a slightly modified line-up. The usual opening pair was dismissed early, with the B XI quicks starting well, and it was left to Spark and Archimedes Monk to lead the resistance. They fought back well, keeping the scoreboard ticking over whilst resisting the sharp threat offered by Sharma and Hunt, but both were dismissed by the slower bowlers; first Spark was bowled by Fagina for an impressive 35 (23), followed by Monk, magnificently caught by Delev off the bowling of Narang for 34 (17). This set the stage for A XI keeper DB Wayne, promoted to number 5, to play with some freedom - and he dominated, attacking all the bowlers in an exciting 55 (28). The bowlers were consistent, if expensive, throughout; Hunt, Fagina and Zadran all grabbed multiple wickets, though none came cheaply.
At the conclusion of 20 overs CWC Trial XI A had accrued a total of 8/187 - setting a difficult task for their opponents.

This task was made no easier when both openers were dismissed early, and though Mork made a quickfire 30 (15) the required run rate continued to climb. Wisney, Sriram and Yamadera were particularly economical with the ball, ensuring the fielding side were always in a strong position. All-rounder I Narang caused a few nervous moments with a fine 42 (40), but was eventually knocked over by the intimidating Heath Davis, who claimed 3 wickets for the day. Sriram was also rewarded with 3 wickets, as the A XI ran out winners by 58 runs.

Prince EWS, if you wish to specify an XI, you have about an hour to do so before the match begins - if you have not selected an XI in time, one will be automtically generated for you.

[Howe_zat]

Let random.org select the bowling order, imo.

[Jager]

Reckon I should bat at 5

[DJellett]

Jager - as this is a trial match, you may step in as captain in the absence of PEWS, if you wish? Match is due to be simmed shortly.
