I have a suggestion. If it isn't too much trouble, could you instead of Autoplaying the whole game, autoplay say 20 overs at a time and change bowlers to ensure that the correct bowlers bowl? If possible?
I don't know when the enxt update will be i ahve complete the match and graphics but i am having trouble copy and pasting things on the internet so i have to write out all the codes which is taking me forever! Be patient and it will be done hopefully later on today.
To Zoraz: That could be classed as cheating so sorry
REPORT
Somerset proved that winning the toss was a good thing as they made full use of batting in the first innings making 356 before declaring. Furthermore they only lost two wicket, Edwards for 83 and Fleming for 57. The man who really stood out though was England batsman Marcus Trescothick. His 178 not out frustrated all the bowlers but was great for all the Somerset fans watching at Taunton.
As for the Lancashire bowlers they really worked hard but only two of them got a wicket. The captain Andrew Flintoff and Kiwi spinner Jeetan Patel. Anderson, Mahmood and Croft were more economical but couldn't get a wicket in the innings. Lancashire now needed a good batting performance.
REPORT
Lancashire crumbled in their first innings making just 172 and giving Somerset a real chance of winning the match. Everything looked fine when Jayasuriya and Sutcliffe put on 52 but then everything went worng. Mal Loye played well as did the two openers but overall Lancs will be very disappointed with their batting display. As for the Somerset bowling two of them shone. Ian Blackwell turned the ball and asked every batsman questions and he picked up 5 wicket for just 49 runs. The other man to impress was Andrew Caddick who got 3 wickets. Overall Somerset would look to build a big lead and bowl out Lancashire again to win the match.
REPORT
Somerset proved that they were no one hit wonder by scoring a lot of runs again in their second innings. Marcus Trescothick stamped his authority once more by hitting an unbeaten 133 to add to his 178 not out in the first innings. Justin Langer also scored an unbeaten century and when Somerset declared they set Lancashire a target of over 400 to win in a day.
Again it was hard work for Lancashire with the ball and this time the one wicket went to Saj Mahmood. Anderson and Croft bowled well again but with no luck while Jeetan Patel was the man who was most economical and challenged the batsman for no reward. The situation in the match then Lancashire need to bat out day four for a draw with no realistic hope of winning the match.
REPORT
Somerset wrapped up a comprehensive vistory when Lancashire collapsed for the second time in the match and this time they were all out for just 133. No-one played well at all with the top scorer being 30 from Stuart Law. The manager for Lancashire will definitely make changes to his batting line up in the next match against Surrey you feel. As for the Somerset bowling there was another five wicket haul but this time it was for overseas Aussie Cameron White who took the wicket of Law and the four tail enders. Ntini got his first two wickets for Somerset while Caddick and Blackwell took one apiece.
The man of the match award went to England opener Marcus Trescothick after scoring two unbeaten centuries and really frustrating the Lancashire bowling attack. In the match he scored a total of 311 runs without being dismissed and to make matters worse for Lancashire they lose the match and get no points what so ever.
Lancashire were destroyed. Tresco desreved MOM. That is not gonna be very many points for Lancs either. Really nice work. Definite contender for next SOTM.
Wooo what a total smashing from the Cidermen :happy Tresco up top on fire.300+ runs without getting out. And the two spinners were terrific! Great start to the season...
REPORT
Northamptonshire won the toss and elected to bowl on a green pitch which looked the right decision although the overhead conditions were good and it was mild. However the Northamptonshire bowlers really found it hard and struggled to get wickets despite bowling well. Worcestershire batted really well before declaring on 341/6. The stand out performances came for Hick who made an unbeaten 65, Smith who made 66 and Vikram Solanki who made an impressive 92 before being dismissed. Overall Worcestershire would be happy with their first innings effort.
As for the Northamptonshire bowling only four seamers were used and the option of Monty Panesar avoided which was probably wise on a green pitch. Phillips outshone Malinga and Agarkar by taking three wickets as did Crook who took two. Northamptonshire now had to bat well on a pitch which was assisting the bowlers.
REPORT
In reply to Worcestershire's 341/6 Northamptonshire struggled and could only manage 197 all out. No batsmen really got a good score with Shafayat top scoring with 47. Other men to get in were Peters, Afzaal and Imran Nazir who each got out in the twenties. As for the Worcestershire bowlers Zaheer Khan and Kabir Ali did all the damage. Zaheer took his first five wicket haul of the season while Kabir Ali renewed his England hopes by taking the wickets of the two openers and two others. Now Worcestershire would look to build a big lead and declare followed by bowling out Northants cheaply for maximum points. Could they do it though?
REPORT
Worcestershire batted well again to get a lead of 452 and virtually bat Northamptonshire out of the game. Vikram Solanki declared at the end of day three with the score 308/8 and he once again played really well with the bat. This time he was dismissed for 96 and he missed his century again. Hick made 66 while Smith and Foster made neat thirties scores.
Northamptonshire bowled better but still couldn't dismiss Worcestershire cheaply. The men that stood out this time around were Lasith Malinga and Phillips. Malinga troubled all of his opponents with his pace and managed to take four wickets. Agarkar managed his first wicket in Worcestershire colours as well. Worcestershire now had a full day's play to bowl out Northamptonshire and win the game.
REPORT
Worcestershire were able to humiliate Northamptonshire immensely by winning the game comprehensively. Northamptonshire were all out for 96 which completed a miserable match for the team. The top scorer was Imran Nazir who only managed 20 runs. Agarkar was the third top scorer which showed how badly the team batted. Worcestershire bowled reall well and all four bowlers used picked up wickets. Chaminda Vaas picked up three while Kabir Ali, Sillence and Zaheer Khan each picked up two. They all had an economy of under two runs as well. Interestingly the spinners for both teams, Monty Panesar and Gareth Batty were not used in the entire test match.
The man of the match award went to Worcestershire captain Vikram Solanki who made two score in the nineties but failed to reach a century on either occasion. However he will feel a lot more pleased because Worcestershire won the match and have put themselves in a good position in Liverpool Victoria County Championship Division 2.
