Rain Pours Down at Edgbaston



England completed just 6 Overs of there innings until rain-stopped-play. The rain failed to clear up and the match was concequently abondoned!

The Ten10 Charity Sheild rules clearly state that if a match is abandoned, then the winner will be decided by a Bowlout, before the start of the next match in the five match series. Conformation to follow!

saladguy added 3 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...

Giles Clarke (ECB Chairman) We can confirm that a Bowlout will take place to determine the winner of the second match of the Ten10 Charity Shield. The bowlout will take place approximately 1 hour before the 3rd match commences at Headingley Carnegie stadium. The Bowlout will also take place at Headingley Carnegie.

So there you go, Giles Clarke with the conformation of proceedings!

Michael Atherton: Ok, so Stuart Broad running up, can he put England into the lead?????............NO!

David Lloyd: Oh dear, oh dear! Very poor delivery from Broad!



2nd Go, Stars XI (Andy Caddick)

Michael Atherton: Caddick to strike!!! Oh and you can see how much that means to him!

David Lloyd: This is what Ten/10 cricket is all about! 1-0 to the Stars!

2nd Go, England (Jimmy Anderson)

Michael Atherton: Anderson, pacing down the pitch, bowls it!!! No! Celebrations as Stars XI are well and truly in the lead!

Andy Caddick hit and Jimmy Anderson missed.......And now up steps Ashley Giles the former England spinner who has an Ashes winners medal. Giles to double Stars' lead!!! And he has!

Stars XI won the bowlout as England were just terrible, missed everyone...

Keep it up.

 

[thesweepmaster]

The stars did really well there. How did you manage to do the bowl-out because I would like to have a go at it!

Fantastic presentation mate, keep it up!

 

[Pakistani Army]

Well that was a great effort from the stars. Great effort with the bowl-out mate.

And overall, great works mate. Loving this story!

 

[lightbulb]

I'm liking this, except for the fact that you had to clear up whether Giles nicked it on page 5. generally, the ball must hit the bat to carry at such an angle that it goes to the slips.
