cool presentation but slow run rate!!! Good work mate...

Thanks. The run rate is mainly caused by the field that is set for Strauss. Just can't seem to pierce the infield at all!

West Indies A vs. England

30 Over Report

Broadcasting now, are Michael Holding and Ravi Shastri.

Well Ravi, yet another interesting ten overs reaches it's end.
Sure was interesting, the Windies finally getting the second break through and with a slight boost in the run rate, the English may be in the running for a score of around two-twenty to two-fifty.
Flintoff has been dominating bowlers, while at the other end, Strauss struggled to make an impact.
Well, with Strauss losing his wicket, the English may be in for big boost in run rate with Pietersen arriving at the crease.
So now, let's go and have a look at some replays.

Flintoff asserts his authority with a sweep.

Flintoff belts it over the infield.

Flintoff smacks a six back over the bowlers head.

The Flintoff and Strauss partnership was looking dangerous until...

A loud appeal against Strauss from the Windies was turned down. What is your opinion? But it wouldn't matter, as Strauss hit one straight to...

Ganga, bringing to the crease, who else but Kevin Pietersen.

So now, let's have a quick look at the stats.

So, what can Flintoff and KP make of the next ten overs? We'll see you at the forty over mark.

40 Over Report

Broadcasting now, are Michael Holding and Tony Grieg.

Well, Flintoff has certainly proved himself today.
Yep, his seventy one so far has been amazing.
Unfortunately though, Pietersen was dismissed after Ganga took his second catch of the day. Now English fans will be hoping Cook can provide a steady partner for Flintoff.
I think if Cook can score a quick twenty or thirty, the English can score quite well. But as they stand, they'll be lucky to break two hundred.
Let's not chat on for too long, here is some replays for the viewers to enjoy.

Freddie gets another boundary.

Flintoff brings up his fifty in style.

Flintoff raises his bat to the crowd in acknowledgement of his half century.

West Indies A celebrate the wicket of Pietersen.

Pietersen takes the long walk back to the pavillion.

So now, let's go straight to the scorecards.

So, we'll back in a while to recap on the English innings.

Continue smashing Bravo and they'll bring on someone like Shiv or Sarwan who you can destroy I'm sure.

Freddie will get his century and Bell will get a fifty

 

[surendar]

Flintoff has improved his strike rate but KP's dismissal was disappointing though!!! Freddyie holds the key now!!!

 

[Left_Hander]

England drastically need to pick up the scoring rate.

Good presentation Offie!

 

[Offspinner]

Thanks again for all the compliments. I am half way through England's last ten overs and will be posting the recap as soon as possible.

England Innings Recap

Broadcasting now, are Jonathon Agnew and Ravi Shastri.

Well, congratulations to Freddie for his century, but is England's total big enough?
Yep, Flintoff really was the defining point of the innings but I'd say if Harmison and Hoggard can do some early damage, the Windies are in trouble.
So now, let's go to the replays.

Flintoff belts a boundary.

Freddie glances for four.

Cook attempts a glance and gets caught in front.

Bringing in Bell.

Flintoff gets another boundary.

Now, let's have a look at Freddie's spider graph.
Amazing how he has scored almost everything on the leg side.

So now, let's go straight to the scorecards.

Alright then, we'll see you at the start of West Indies A innings.

Feel free to post any comments or suggestions. I hope you have enjoyed so far.

 

[Left_Hander]

I don't know if this is a competitive score to defend for the English men.

 

[Offspinner]

I'd say if Freddie, Harmison and Hoggard can damage the openers and middle order, Panesar can wipe out the rest.

As I said before I will update every ten overs, but I apologise for not noting that when I am bowling, the updates will come every five overs.
