Panel of Selectors
In the first over in the next day the partnership had go tto 300 runs. Great work boys. It was another record.
There was a few drop catches the next few overs as out batsman got more agressive. Boy the captain of Durham was getting pissed. They had dropped 5or so. This let Mathers get 151, a new personal score record.
Next ball Mathers was out LBW to a terrible decision to destroy his good innings. It was a desperate appeal. Zorax was pissed off and gave the ump an earbashing. The crowd gave Mathers a great applause. Everyone knew he wasnt out except the bowler.
After a play and miss from Zorax he went along with his buisness bringing up his 150 with a single.
Don Pedro was very shaky edging the ball and making mistakes with calling. Zorax was forced slow down his scoring rate and hog the strike. This seemed to work and Don got a chance to work his way into his innings. He hit a giant six and that seemed to help his confidence.
A little while later the two survived and got to 450 runs. Iloveireland then decided that If ZoraxDoom went out he'd declare. He didnt want to tire out his bowlers. He wanted 500. Don started to get more aggressive. He was getting worried that Don would do something stupid. Iloveireland was having the same problem.
Zorax himself was getting nervous because he had just got into the 190s. He was so close to getting 200 on debut. He doubted it had happened before. He had already worked so hard. He didnt want to waste it now. He wished Ross was still with him. There was less pressure on him. He could run singles.
Just before lunch Don was getting angry. He wanted some action so he started to hogg the strike. He hit a boundary but luckily he survived. Iloveireland was gonna have to have a talk to him
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 150th over they got to 500!! It was great. Things were going according to plan now.
An over later ZoraxDoom finally got to 200 runs. He celebrated like hell. Yet again the sledging started. He went over the top a bit and got a warning with the ump.
Four balls later we lost Don Pedro on 43 runs. Plum LBW. It was a bad shot.
Next came in Iloveireland. He hoped with his experience he could stay in and help Zorax get the score to a huge number like 600.
Iloveireland told Zorax that they were gonna declare at 600 no matter the situation. Zorax said he might be near 300. Iloveireland said, we'll see Zorax, we'll see.
550 came up without too much trouble. Iloveireland was looking set on 20 and Zorax felt sure that they'd both bat out the innings.
They kept going and got the team to 600. Where they declared. Iloveireland was on 47 and Zorax said there was 1 over left in the session so you may as well try to get to your 50. So he did try. Big mistake, Iloveireland got cleaned bowled.
On the way out Iloveireland told Zorax to declare at the end of the over. Zorax thought about disobeying him because he was on 239 but decided to obey orders.
End of the session and innings:

Great work boys. Shame I didnt get the 50, oh well. The tail was wagging. Great work guys, perticularly Zorax.
