CW XI 101 : The Road To The Present

The CWBCC will be starting a new initiative to educate the CW players about the history of Cricket Web cricket. We feel that by instilling some sense of appreciation for the path to the present, there will be a greater sense of passion and drive.

Coming soon:

EPISODE I : CRICKET WEB IN SOUTH AFRICA

Episode I picks the story up when the ICC gave the CW XI international status, as there's very little info. available before that.

EPISODE I: CRICKET WEB IN SOUTH AFRICA PART 1

Tests: 3 (lost 1-2)

The Touring Party:

Richard Hingston (C) +
Reuben Verghese (vc)
Ryan Verghese (wk)#
Richard Twyman +
KR Kode +
Brendon Goff
Simon Fitzsimmons
Andrew Cloete
Kim Fraser +#
Tamara Gould +#
Eric Heath +
Liam Camps
Jason (?) Pike +
Vishnu Reddy +
John Eddie Sanders +
David Kennett
Tim Evans +#
Corey Taylor +

+ = retired.
# = played less than 10 Tests.

Notable mentions about the tour:

Pike was included in the squad, but never played an international match. Neither did Reddy.
Ryan Verghese was the lone genuine wicketkeeper signup of the time.

Introduction:

A team of misfits and amateurs, the Cricket Web XI was thrust into International cricket against South Africa, confirming the miserable sense of humour of the ICC. Very little was expected from the team, and though they ultimately lost the series, expectations were far exceeded.

Simon Fitzsimmons
Liam Camps
Andrew Cloete
Reuben Verghese
Richard Twyman
Kim Fraser
Richard Hingston (C)
Ryan Verghese (wk)
Corey Taylor (debut)
John Eddie Sanders
David Kennett

Conditions: Warm
Pitch: Normal
Outfield: Fast
Weather: Bright and sunny

Toss: CW XI
Following his teams crushing victory in the first Test, Smith lost the toss and was asked to field. The surface was flat as ever, and the Webheads keen for revenge of sorts.

*Records of the day-end scores have been lost*

Cricket Web XI 428
Andrew Cloete 227, John Eddie Sanders 44, Richard Twyman 24;
Shaun Pollock 3/83, Nicky Boje 3/113

South Africa 123
Gary Kirsten 57, Mark Boucher 36;

South Africa 132 (f/o)
Jacques Kallis 50, Mark Boucher 24;
John Eddie Sanders 6/39


Cricket Web XI won by an innings and 173 runs
Man of the match: John Eddie Sanders


Match fixing charges against the South Africans were subsequently dropped, due to what was called "insufficient evidence".

--------------------------------------

The Third Test

SOUTH AFRICA

Gary Kirsten
Herschelle Gibbs
Graeme Smith (C)
Jacques Kallis
Jacques Rudolph
Martin van Jaarsveld
Mark Boucher (wk)
Nicky Boje
Shaun Pollock
Steve Elworthy

CRICKET WEB XI

Richard Twyman
Andrew Cloete
Brendon Goff (debut)
Richard Hingston (C)
Kim Fraser
Reuben Verghese
John Eddie Sanders
Ryan Verghese (wk)
Corey Taylor
David Kennett

Conditions: Warm
Pitch: Normal - something for batsmen and bowlers
Outfield: Fast
Weather: Bright and sunny

Toss: SA
Still reeling from defeat in the last match, Graeme Smith won the toss and elected to bowl first. Perhaps not yet confident in his batsmen, the move seemed a fairly negative one.

Day 1 -
CW XI 205 (85.3 overs)(David Kennett 1*)
SA 15/0 (5 overs)(Gary Kirsten 9*, Herschelle Gibbs 5*)
Day 2 -
SA 264/5 (95 overs)(Martin van Jaarsveld 17*, Mark Boucher 1*)
Day 3 -
SA 348 (126.3 overs)(Shaun Pollock 27*)
CW XI 146/4 (58 overs)(Richard Hingston 18*, Kim Fraser 17*)
Day 4 -
CW XI 250 (110.1 overs)(Corey Taylor 18*)
SA 109/1 (32.4 overs)(Herschelle Gibbs 65*, Graeme Smith 12*)

Cricket Web XI 205
Simon Fitzsimmons 45, Richard Twyman 35, Reuben Verghese 34, Brendon Goff 30;
Shaun Pollock 4/54, Steve Elworthy 3/37, Jacques Kallis 2/64

South Africa 348
Jacques Kallis 94, Gary Kirsten 61, Herschelle Gibbs 42, Mark Boucher 40;
John Eddie Sanders 3/76, David Kennett 2/35, Andrew Cloete 2/39

Cricket Web XI 250
Simon Fitzsimmons 58, Reuben Verghese 44, Richard Hingston 24;
Steve Elworthy 5/51, Makhaya Ntini 2/40

South Africa 109/1
Herschelle Gibbs 65*, Gary Kirsten 28;
Reuben Verghese 1/20


South Africa won by 9 wickets
Man of the match: Steve Elworthy


--------------------------------------

A 2-1 series defeat, but the one victory took on absolutely epic proportions. The brilliance of Cloete and Sanders shone through in particular during the series, marking both as future legends of CW cricket.
