Dont do ball by ball mate, it would take forever.

Do bigger and more thoughfull updates rather then shorter more frequent to improve presentation.

KUTGW

 

[Spinksy]

N Spinks: It's the end of the first over here and it was pretty ordinary overall by the English side. two no balls and and a fairly wildish one on the fifth delery which Phil Jaques hurled through the gap for two runs...

Jaques bats well......

30 overs have now passed and Australia are comfortably sitting on 0/83

N Spinks: Phil Jaques is playing marvelously here especially with all of this weight put on his shoulders.

J McDonald: I agree, Jaques is putting his foot to Stephen Harmison here with a nice 43* (103).

Update: 34.3 overs in And Autralia have passed 100 for their first Partnership.
Update: 34.5 overs..... Jaques brings up 50 in stunning fashion with a nicely timed drive...

A nicely timed drive take Jaques to 50 runs

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jaques get a huge reply as he raises his bat....

Jaques raises his bat for his 50

Nice work 7th grader!

Soon you will get sick of all the updates, but eitherway, good luck.

 

[Amiya]

Don't do over by over Spinksy... Anyway KUTGW

 

[Spinksy]

Is that a better update guys?

 

[Jakester1288]

Awesome. Also, are you playing 5 star?

 

[Spinksy]

I am not playing this as a story. I will play all the games as autoplay/manual on Cricket 07 for Playstation 2. I will play as Australia but on 5 stars.

Awesome. Also, are you playing 5 star?

England faring terribly:crying. Good work, the Ashes series site on Cricinfo has pics of every test. Good work and KUTGW!!!

 

[Jaztheman]

England getting smashed so far from Australia, not looking good. Hayden was looking dangerous and played well so glad he's gone. Australia's middle order is strong though so they will no doubt get a high score at this rate.

Great work so far, keep it up.

OVERVIEW​

Nathan Spinks: Hi there, glad you could make it I'm Nathan Spinks as you know and well it was a bit of a shakey start for the English side in the first session here and they hope to improve.....

Jake McDonald: Agreed, Stephen Harmison in particular was shocking and im worried that if he doesn't pick up his game here England will struggle for the whole of the Test Match....

Key Match-ups​

Phil Jaques vs. Matthew Hoggard​
