*Official* Pakistan in CWLand

Fair enough if Watt replaces me in the starting XI, but can I not be 12th man EVERY match? I`ve barely played any cricket at a state level or higher this season, and this really isn`t helping. Surely it`s in the team`s best interest to have me playing some cricket?

Great start for the Webheads, really running this depleted Pakistan side into the ground. Pickup and Halsey running wild ,and Crampton proving to be a worthy replacement for Ash.

Ah k, cheers Trav. :)

Noticed I played an OD match against Blue, I`m assuming there was a gap in the schedule? If that wasn`t a mistake - brilliant. :D Glad to be amongst the wickets, and even more stoked to get a match.

Carn the Webheads.

I thought when a team is visiting CWLand, every player not in the first XI (including 12th man) is released and a grade player (or someone from a CW squad who isn't in their respective squad's first XI) is given emergency fielding duties?

That's the policy with tests, but apparently it is different with ODIs. That's what Liam said at the start of this series anyway. I'm not sure why Hakon included the internationals in the sides a couple of days back.

Because squads were selected to be together for the first 2 ODIs, the third ODI, then the 4th and 5th ODI.

Hence, again, full sides are available for tonight's games.

Ahh. Makes sense. Guess I better name a side then so that Cloete doesn't have a whinge.

edit: Or not, as we don't have a game.

Game simmed. Due to be posted when I'm less exhausted and fed up with the Dev League bickering.

Shoaibs shine and Pakistan scratch home to stay in series
Pakistan vs Cricket Web XI - 3rd ODI
at the PDV Dome

Pakistan skidded through to victory in the crucial third one-day international match against the CW XI – a game saturated with drama. In the chase of 203, the visitors tumbled from a position of 116-1 to 129-4, but finally scratched home with 3 wickets intact.

Imran Farhat played the crucial innings of 67 at the top of the order, holding his team together on an unusually slow and difficult batting surface. It was Asim Kamal, however, who guided Pakistan home. Contributing just 14 not out, Kamal was partnered by number 9 Iftikhar Anjum when the target was attained.

Earlier the CW XI were inserted and found runs hard to come by against the seaming ball early on. Ian Markus and Liam Camps perished quickly to leave the score at 33-2. But Rob Dauth and Dinu DeSilva made worth of their batting promotions, adding a careful 102 for the third wicket.

It seemed that the Webheads were sensibly batting themselves into an excellent launch position, but when aggression finally came, it was a route to demise. Shoaib Malik cashed in with 4 middle order wickets, and the score slid to 173-7, from a strong 135-2.

Nathan Hoy and Tom Halsey pushed the innings along to the final over, entering it at 202-7. What followed was a spectacular display of fast bowling, as Shoaib Akhtar found life in the pitch and claimed a hat-trick of CW tailenders to wrap the innings with 3 balls to spare.

Searching for an attainable 203, Farhat and Afridi played sensibly to see off the early new ball threat, allowing captain Inzamam-ul-Haq to later smash consecutive sixes off Halsey, and accelerate toward the goal.

Pakistan now holds the series close at 2-1, with 2 highly anticipated matches to be played.

Hmm, shocking batting performance there, there was nothing wrong with the bowling. Good to have hit some runs with young Dinu, both should've gone on though.

We'll just have to win the next 2 :p

Nice Hatrick to finish of the innings by Shoaib. Well done Rob and DeSilva. Ginger was pretty good with the ball in his first captaincy outing.
