Clarkey must still be wondering how I got my 120 kg frame to fly through the air in the outfield to take that catch. ;-)

sorry W.G they came to see me instead and i will be the one hitting the 100

Throw them both out.....they havent even started batting together yet and already they are squabbling.  Watch one of them run the other one out.

How about working together and both getting hundreds?

we were mucking around anyway i think cant none of you have a joke its a game and if we lose its not like we will all die  god sake!!

I guess the good doctor is going to ask you to run for him too robbie.

It's called banter between openers - strewth it's a hard enough job without all this seriousness.  Anyway, I'm off to put chalk on my pads.

and you wont have to either  might not even bat at all

So when does our innings start? W.G. and robbie if you need any help you can always rely on the rest of us, but I'm sure you two will do great and maybe I wont even have to bat at all! Well good luck you two, and if any of you would like to kill time in the dressing rooms, I'll bring a pack of cards!

yeh well done to WG who make a double century, and well done to MP12 and scuudz who both made 50s!

Nice little innings from me at the end there - slogger and I will have frustrated the Aussies, hopefully we can get amongst the wickets now.

I'll try and say something good and encouraging for all our players.

W.G.: Well all you can say was how was your heart when you were in the 190's? Great knock! Fantastic!

Robbie: Fantastic strike rate, we could use you in the next innings to score runs as quickly as possiable. Maybe you can grab some quick wickets as well.

NewBowler: We all have bad days sometimes, maybe you were just a little shocked to be coming into the game so early. I think you'le make a big impact either fielding or batting. I'm sorry that I peaked at your cards while you were out batting .

scuudz: Fantastic 50! Continuing the work after I left and piling on the runs. Keep up the good work!

Freddie: You must have had a lot of nerves to be facing the hat-trick ball. Your bowling should prove useful tommorow, on a spinners pitch.

Slogger72NO: It's not that easy batting with the tail, but you stuck with it and remained not out at the end. Your keeping skills are fantastic!

Kerm: Great bowling in the first innings, bowling tight overs and taking 2 important wickets. You will be very important early tommorow.

Fishcake: Your bowling will be extremly important tommorow and you showed lots of courage, staying in for as long as you can.

Pieterson Fan: Great batting at the end, the more runs we can get the better, your bowling skills in the first innings took great stamania, to bowl 54 overs.

JP: Economical bowling with quick wickets, should prove a fantastic combination with Fishcake tommorow. Your pinch hitting at number 11 might see you moved up the order!
