whats the state of the match

Comming up Now.

I also forgot to mention i am using the field editor created by Markh. This is to make the cpu set attacking fields at the start, instead of putting 6 men on the boundry in the first 20 overs. Likewise, i will use the editor to block off my favourite scoring areas, just like any half decent fielding captain would do in real life.


Day 1 Session 1 (End Of 30 Overs)

A slow and steady start from the English openers. India's pace bowlers hit the right area's consistenly throughout the session, and that is reflected in the runrate. England had trouble timing their shots, and before long, both english opening batsmen were back in the pavilion. Strauss, who was hit 3 times by pathan and sreesnath, looked short of confidence and out of touch, was out caught at second slip, attempting to drive. Trescothick was out playing the same stroke, chipping the ball straight back into the hands of sreesanth. The ball seems to have stopped swinging and seaming so much now, and it looks as if much of the next session will be facing spin from kumble and H.Singh.

Its not Sree Santh, it Sri Sreesanth. Sreesanth is his surname, so it should be S.Sreesanth.
Sree Santh doesn't exist :

Nice story anyways...

Evening Session Update 2


India have given themselves a real chance in this match, thanks to some good controlled bowling, and some poor decisions from the England players. There have been two run outs, of Pieterson & FLintoff, which has left India in a very strong position going into day 2. All of the bowlers have played well, but kumble has stood out with 3 wickets thusfar. Bell has been the pick of the batsmen for England, scoring a fine century, but getting bowled through the gate on the very next delivery. England, with not much batting left, will be hoping to get to around 300 at least. Definatly India's day.

End Of England Innings


England couldnt add many more runs, and have a lot of work on to recover from this. Solid bowling performance from all of India's bowlers, especially Kumble.
