Sri Lanka and India in CWLand (Australia)

International Debutant
Very happy to get selected in the squad, look forward to bowling on some fruitful pitch conditions.

Surprised at my selection, form has been average this season, especially in 1D.

Time to get into some cricket, and send these 2 touring teams back home - battered and bruised.

"Smash Moments" Highlight Package

*SRI LANKA innings*
1.5 Dave to Jayasuriya, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Marc71178

ST Jayasuriya 3 (7b)
c. Marc71178 b. Dave
Jayasuriya went hard at that full delivery, but the ball flew off the edge and Marc71178 took a wonderful one-handed catch to his left in the gully.
---
10.1 Mxyzptlk to Atapattu, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Mxyzptlk. Atapattu didnt have a clue

MS Atapattu 29 (29b 4X4)
b. Mxyzptlk
That on kept a bit low, but it was on target and snuck between bat and pad.
---
14.5 Mxyzptlk to Sangakkara, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW

KC Sangakkara 20 (21b 2X4 1X6)
lbw b. Mxyzptlk
The replay shows it clearly pitched outside legstump. Hard luck for Sangakkara there.
---
17.6 Bugssy to Gunaw'dene, OUT, Bowled him! Slower one and it's dragged on!

DA Gunawardene 25 (39b 3X4)
b. Bugssy
---
24.4 Pickup to Jayantha, OUT, Good catch by Ash Chaulk

WS Jayantha 12 (20b)
c. Chaulk b. Pickup
Jayantha went back to cut and got a thin top-edge to that topspinner. Nice catch behind!
---
26.3 Pickup to Jayaw'dene, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Rich_2001

DPMdS Jayawardene 23 (39b 3X4)
c. Rich_2001 b. Pickup
They're really rolling now! Rich there lunging forward at lone slip to pouch it.
---
26.6 Pickup to Dilshan, OUT, Loud appeal as he pushed forward and given by Bowden

TM Dilshan 3 (9b)
c. Chaulk b. Pickup
Pickup strikes again with his topspinner. He's really got it working today!
---
34.5 David(Jr.) to Vaas, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket

WPUJC Vaas 16 (24b 1X4)
lbw b. David(Jr.)
Full length and straight. Vaas missed and David Jr. hit the pad. That's cricket at it's best.
---
45.5 David(Jr.) to Zoysa, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by David(Jr.). Zoysa didnt have a clue

DNT Zoysa 34 (66b 1X4)
b. David(Jr.)
Not quite yorker length, but he got it up there and Zoysa swung over the top of it in an on-drive attempt. Well-bowled!
---
47.2 David(Jr.) to Maharoof, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket

MF Maharoof 16 (31b 1X4)
lbw b. David(Jr.)
All over! Length ball hits him plumb on the back foot and not much doubt there.
---
*CW XI innings*

2.2 Maharoof to Bugssy, OUT, ST Jayasuriya takes an easy catch to dismiss Bugssy

Bugssy 1 (6b)
c. Jayasuriya b. Maharoof
Just trying to work that one off his hip and instead he just spooned it into Jayasuriya's lap at that short midwicket catching position.
---
7.4 Vaas to Cloete, SIX, What a wonderful player Cloete is! That wasn't too short, but he swivelled back in quick time and launched it over the ropes!
---
16.3 Lokua'hchi to Rich_2001, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW

Rich_2001 23 (35b)
lbw b. Lokua'hchi
Hawkeye suggests it would have just clipped the top of the bails. Too close to call?
---
21.1 Zoysa to Blewy, one run, Pulled and dropped! He hit it straight to Vaas at midon with the mistimed shot and Vaas puts down a chest-high sitter. Shocker there!
---
21.3 Zoysa to Cloete, one run, Dropped! Lokua'hchi made a big mess of that simple chance at gully. Two simple chances down in 3 balls. Dear oh dear, Sri Lanka have some problems.
---
25.2 Zoysa to Cloete, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!
Launched over longon for a HUGE six!
That's his 50 too. It took him 86 balls, but he's gotten there for his team.
---
27.4 Zoysa to Cloete, OUT, Big appeal behind the stumps, umpire gives Cloete the finger

Cloete 59 (93b 4X4 2X6)
c. Sangakkara b. Zoysa
Loose drive outside offstump there. The thinnest of edges resulted, but Doctrove saw it and gave it. Important innings there from Cloete, but Sri Lanka back in it now.
---
30.4 Dilshan to Blewy, one run, Dropped! Sangakkara just missing that difficult chance
The ball spun more than Blewy expected and he ended up fending at it, but Sangakkara couldn't hang to the sharp deflection behind the stumps.
---
39.3 Vaas to Blewy, SIX, ???!!! Down the track and picking that slower one, then hitting it over the cover boundary. Great shot!
---
39.5 Vaas to Blewy, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by Blewy, over midwicket this time.
And that's his 50. Entertaining yet crucial innings today, though he was put down twice, he's soldiered on for the cause of his team.
---
42.6 Dilshan to Blewy, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by Blewy and the fielder won't cut it off. Game over and the XI wins!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Daily Blast Comment: Sri Lanka's poor start to their CW tour continues with defeat in the opening fixture of the inaugral Champions Trophy. As well as the CW XI played today, the Sri Lankans certainly did not help themselves with loose batting at times and generally sloppy fielding. All in all the XI was more professional of the two sides and pulled out a deserved win.

Great win boys, good to see Pickup picking up some wickets, and all his catches were byCW Black players aswell. But everyone did well and did CW proud!

Excellent work by the Greens boys, not so bad by those other chaps either. ;) Seriously, though, good to see CW XI doing well. :)
 

Cloete

International Captain
Great stuff guys. Bugs was the only batsman not to get a start, but he bowled really wel. Top effort by everyone! Every bowler and every batsman did their job, next up India!

Great effort guys. Should be an easy series for you guys the way things are looking at the moment. And why shouldn't it be? With a strong bowling attack and attacking batsamn there aren't many weaknesses in the side.

Keep it going fellas.

I didn't get a start either ;)

But I think I bowled pretty well.
Yep. You and Bugssy really made the bowling changes a lot easier by filling in those overs. Right Blewy? ;)

Blewy

Perfect start guys, We really switched on and gave them no opportunities everytime they looked like geting a partnership going our bowlers took a wicket, and despite a minor hiccup from bugs in the batting we all showed why we are one of, if not the best OD side in the world...

Keep up the good work guys...
