Story India's tour of England 2005 (England=CPU)

[nik]

India get the first wicket and a very important one too!

Pathan is on fire claiming his 2nd victim

India were not going to give anything away as they claimed another 2 wickets!

The greatly experienced Kumble wasn't going to give anything away.....

England's 2nd innings scorecard (not a very good one!!)

This left India needing 68 runs to win and BANG!! Sehwag hits a six!! :cool:

In a hurry for runs, Sehwag was run out again for the 2nd time in the match!

Dravid came in and hit his 1st ball for 4 but 2nd ball.......he is bowled!!

A much needed win for India as they trash England by 7 wickets

India's 2nd innings scorecard

That's it India have won the 1st test!

Good presentation nik!!!

Presentation (A personalised one specially for planetcricket!! )

Willis: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the presentation party and today we have Mr. Ranbir Singh Mahendra, BCCI president, Mr. Graveney, Mr. nik from Planetcricket.net and Ste, one of the Administrators of Planetcricket! Firstly, this test match has been a great match, everything seemed balanced until today when India dominated so can Michael Vaughan come up and say a few words
Willis: Well, hard luck in this test match, how do you feel?
Vaughan: I thought our batting really let us down today, we have quality batsmen like Strauss, Tresco but credit to the Indians they bowled really well!
Willis: What do you want to concentrate on for the next test?
Vaughan: Our batting, it is a bit rusty and we need to sort it out
Willis: Well thank you Michael, good luck for the next test!
Vaughan: Thank you Bob
Willis: Now Sourav Ganguly please come up
Willis: This win was very much needed for your team, how do you feel?
Ganguly: Yes, we needed this win as 2004 wasn't a great year for us and we needed to please our fans!
Willis: What is your aim for the next test?
Ganguly: Well, i think the fielding was the only thing i was concerned about so we will work on that for the next test, otherwise i was happy, the boys worked really hard and it all paid off!
Willis: Well, Ganguly will collect a cheque of ?5000 from Mr. nik
Willis: Now, the moment we were waiting for, the man of the match award, it was a tough decision as there was some good performences by both teams but in the end it was one man, who turned himself into a Sehwag, Rahul Dravid!
Willis: What made you bat so quickly for you 100?!
Dravid: I don't know! I just did whatever i could!!
Willis: Well, your innings certainly entertained the crowd! So Rahul you get a check of ?2500 and a trophy which is given by Mr. Ste the Admin of planetcricket. Well that is it from the presentation party and we hope to see you in the next test! goodbye.....

I rate your story 9/10.

The area that needs improvement is the commentary. Include commentators commenting between match situations.. that would add realism.

Also try have post match conferrences, pre match conferrences, match reports (pre match and post match), have some players sustain injuries (announce them!), etc. This way, your story would be more enjoyable by many.

And more importantly, when typing out the story, using attractive fonts to attract the attention of the readers

thanks for the tips they will be taken in from the next test!
