Day 1 - Session 1:



Welcome to my new era of England. Captain Duckett leads a post Bazball England that measures test match batting with madness and strokeplay. So far Has went cheap, Duckett went ham and Root has looked sublime all the while Durham's new Big Ben is keeping it chill... for now.

Waste's Andy Flower looking glorious in the Kingston afternoon sun. I tried to upload the ZIMBABWE text for the 96 world cup kit but I couldn't get it working properly, would anyone be able to upload the .svg of the text that I have? Zimbabwe are the only main nation that don't have the 1996 world cup kit on the academy that I can see. I also have UAE, Netherlands and Kenya if anyone wants to upload those too to flesh out the entire tournament.

Running in this game is a bit annoying I had 4 run outs and 3 of them were what should have been easy 2s and 3s even with changing the individual stats to the lowest throwing strength they throw missiles.

Australia 2000s v South Africa 2000s ODI that's mostly filled with Waste's players, all looking fantastic. This particular game had me nostalgic for the early 2000s, the player and kit creations give me the perfect cricket game I wish we had back then feel. It was a fitting nail biter than Andrew Symonds got Australia home in the end with an all round performance

3rd Test Perth - Eng lead the series 1-0
Australia had managed 298 in their first innings, taking a little over a day to get there, and in doing so, it highlighted that application was key when batting. Pretty much the whole of the Australian top order made starts, with two men passing 50, but none would go on to make a meaningful score. England knew their task, they just had to do it…




England’s opening pair put on 54 before the first wicket fell, a boundary filled 37 from captain Andrew Strauss, eventually being trapped in front by the returning Mitchell Johnson.

Jonathan Trott was in at 3 and alongside Alistair Cook they provided England with the stability they were looking for, both passing 50.




Albeit a little slow going, the pair continued to build, taking the partnership past 150. Trott was now outscoring his partner and had reached the 90s, finding the mid wicket and square leg boundary at will. That was until at least, he reached 99. The Aussies had eventually learned their lesson and gave him nothing on the pads. Needing just one clearly got the best of the number 3 and he chased a a wide one. Edged, gone. Trott out for 99 bowled Hilfenhaus, caught Ponting.

The partnership falling just 5 shy of 200 but helping England into a commanding position. 249 for 2
