The Germans are really in deep trouble now. It really has been a fantastic effort by Red and Puneeth. I feel that these two should have the privilege to clean up the tail.
 
I told you that you started in too low a division. Every match will be like this until you reach test status. That's why you need to bat first so you can see some players make centuries before the bowlers take all the wickets :p
 
I'm relieved to have held on to my first catch in PC colours!

I've got to sing this to the Germans:

Eins, Zwei, eins, Zwei, drei, vier!
Schade Deutschland, Alles ist vorbei, Alles ist vorbei, Alles ist vorbei!
Schade Deutschland, Alles ist vorbei, Alles ist vorbei

It is traditionally sung when Germany fails at soccer, it means:

What a shame Germany, it's all over, it's all over, it's all over!
