So i have started off reasonably well only going for 3 runs per over. We need some wickets here. Zohaib has bowled well being the 5th bowler used.

Good work mate, it is only the first post, so i am sure you will think of some new things to put in your updates.

Yay i got a wicket 16 overs 1/41 isn't a bad start to my bowling career. Hopefully we can take the final 5 wickets in the last session of play and maybe have a bit of bat later this evening.

 

[Zohaib]

It will take a while to get Shakib out and Dutch player Kervees out.

Good work but so a few spelling errors.

 

[Near]

Alright,Some good bowling by me and Roofrom too is bowling well.Shakib is batting well on 53 need to dismiss him fast

 

[Varun]
