Yes,I know,this is similar to the story that MP12 ran,but since the other one's stopped I'm going to try and get going another one.
Though please,no-one expect me to do the wonderful job MP12 was doing. I decided to do this as while JP's sim is going I can't do a sim. The form to fill in: Player Type:Batsman,Allrounder,Bowler,Wicketkeeper. Batting Position: Bowling Type(If applicable.): Bat/Bowl Hand: Feilding position: As soon as we have 11,I will see about where our first tour is. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Wicketkeeper batsman I bat anywhere from 1-7, I generally open or bat 7 though I bowl leg breaks but that doesn't really matter Right handed bat and bowl Good luck with the sim Bladescape, you've certainly got a tough act to follow. |

Thanks zuhair and I am open to all ideas. So I will be glad to have inputs from all the players except Nannes. Blade, how about making up a 15 or 18 man squad by adding more players who have not yet represented their countries or are not doing national duty. What's your say guys? These players will be only play if the regulars get injured or may be use the IPL thoeory.

NZ_Fast Leads attack well but is unable to stop Leics 300.
The match started off pretty quickly,with both Boyce and New attacking the new ball,After wafting through NZ_Fast and Nannes,The then took the attack to Zuhair and Monty. NZ_Fast's second spell changed the complextion of the game with two quick wickets to have them in a bit of trouble. Dippenaar and Ackerman led another 70+ parternership until both were dismissed in a spell by the spinners. With Dippenaar heaving a Zuhair delivery only to hole out to Dips at third man. Cobbs and Nixon repeated what the rest of the top order had done,but once NZ_Fast struck Cobbs on the pads,it was a bit of a rout. Captain Dips helping it along with the wicket of Allenby. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Dips,Blade lead CW 1st innings lead.
Malik's dismissal of Robbie early on had the CW slightly worried,but Mystery,Sam,Blade,Dips and Shiv all piled on the runs,and with some wagging from Zuhair and Slogger,they took a 32 runs 1st innings lead. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

New leads a massive batting performance by Leics.
Boyce and New yet again put on a 70+ opening parternership,but this time the quick wicket after one of the openers was Dippenaar. Contributions came from all around,the most notable being Allenby and Cobbs. Zuhair and Dips were the only bowlers to come out with respectable figures. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Blade,Sam and Robbie lead win with just 2 balls remaining on last day.
With a solid top order performance,CW XI have sealed the victory over Leicestershire. Only New and O'Brien really shined for Leics,on the other side you had Bladescape perform well with the bat,Dips lead from the front with a solid allround performance,NZ_Fast and Zuhair were a bit on and off but they certainly helped to a big extent. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Great stuff guys!!! Congrats!!! But the teams need to be a bit better for the test matches.

Great stuff guys. A win is a win no matter how it comes. All the batsmen and bowlers contributed at some point in the match and the lower order did a terrific job. Congratulations to all the boys for a job well done and a great team effort. You are right Zuahir, the openers need a big partnership at the top to set the game for us. Congratulations to NZ_Fast on a 5 wicket haul. Looking forward to a much improved performance. ------------- |

Unfortunantly,but the sim doesn't seem to bowl spinners as much as I think they should be. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Strong side that. Bowling does seem a bit weak specially when there is no Broad in. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Batsman shine as CW post massive 450.
Apart from Mystery's rather disappointing 3,Robbie,Sam,Blade,Dips,Shiv and Slogger piled on the runs against an English attack which couldn't hit the line or length they wanted,although Swann and Collingwood both managed to cause some trouble for the batsman. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

Pietersen,Prior hundreds put England ahead.
Nannes early spell had England reeling at 2/29,but Cook,Pietersen and Prior struck back with massive run scoring,Harmison and Swann added a few late order runs to spice up the total. ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |
