nice shots man, i was wondering when will you release your World Cup 2003 TV Graphics???

 

[tjh1989]

I am still working on them, but i had to start from stratch so i decided to make all the components and then test them all.

England got of to the worst possible start losing M.Trescothic and M.Vaughan for just 8 runs. After a quick recovery England made it to 30-2 untill A.Strauss top edge a pull shot to Mcmillan. V.Solanki whent soon after along with collingwood. England were poised for an embarising defeat, until... A.Flintoff and G.Jones put on a good 100 partnership with both of them reaching there 50. England entered the last 15 odd overs in a good position until Flintoff found himself ranout.(See pic above) In D.Vettori's only 2nd over he dismissed the in-form wicketkeeper leaving England in a disappointing position. So is 239 to win from 50 overs good enough, its night, the lights are on and England want the win.

South Africa Highligths:
Englands start to the world cup isn't a good one. For starters they were saved, just, by a brilliant 106 partnership Between Flintoff and Jones. Furthermore, England set a satisfactory 239 to win on a cracking pitch. Consequently, New Zealand sailed to victory. However it wasn't as plain sailing as it may seem. England reduced the Kiwis to 32-2 after a beautiful delivery from Gough which forced the edge to the wicketkeeper/batsmen. Since then every thing went wrong with S.Flemng staying till the end and getting a ODI 100 on the way, which its so far the fastest of the tornument. It will be interesting to see how England cope in the future. Highlights:
