David Gower: Hello, my name is David Gower. In the studio with me today is Geoffrey Boycott and Mark Nicholas.
But first in the last couple of minutes the teams have been announced for this 2nd Ten/10 Charity Sheild match. England are unchanged, however Stars XI have made two changes. Dominic Cork and Shaun Udal are out and Gary Pratt and Alex Wharf are in.
So, Geoffrey, what do we know about those two, lets start off with Gary Pratt.
Geoffrey Boycott: Well, if I remember correctly he is the only player in the squad never to be capped by England.
David Gower: So why is he in the squad then?
Geoffrey Boycott: Well, if I can remember correctly he is an excellent fielder, and during the 2005 Ashes Test match at Trent Bridge, he came on as a substitute fielder and ran out Ricky Ponting with a direct hit. And people still talk about three years on! And Ricky Ponting was furious when he discovered that England had a specialist fielder as there substitute!
David Gower: Yes, Mark lets come onto you now, now who is Alex Wharf?
Mark Nicholas: Well, Alex Wharf. He played in the Champions Trophy for England in 2004, and he literally ripped apart and stunned the Australians and knocked them out of the tournament! He could play a big part in today's match!
David Gower: Well now we will cross live to our commentators Michael Atherton and Richie Benaud!
England Have Won The Toss, And have Elected To Bat!
England open with Matt Prior and Darren Maddy, who are on a 46 run partnership! There was frustration for the Stars XI bowlers as they failed to make a breakthrough, within the first 5 overs!
Prior and Maddy are going strong, whilst the Stars are crumbling in the Birmingham heat!
I still think you need to make the text smaller and have more writing. Your graphics are really good but as I said earlier, the text is the key to a story.
