Shah is the new batsman and will be looking to make an impact

Strauss then goes trapped LBW playing the same shot as Cook

Then KP gets bowled for a duck. England are in big trouble

Flintoff arrives at the crease and begins to build a partnership with Key both hitting fours and sixes

At Lunch on Day 1 England are 71/4 and really need Key and Flintoff to build a partnership

The main strike bowler for Western Australia has been Edmondson who has bowled with pace and been very tight

The lack of a partnership has been a key factor in England's poor display in the first session

We are going to be disscusing England's poor performance in the first session during the break. Join us again in a few minutes

Poor performance by England but till Flintoff is there England can get runs . Nice story and now as you will be using photoshop for your updates then this story will get better and better :)
 
I have somehow deleted photoshop and all the work i have done so I have to start afresh. I will update session2 tomorrow

Comments still most welcome :)
 
Yeh Tom its looking pretty good. If i was you though, i'd download the player editor or download the roster pack from Burma so that the players have the correct bats. The bats look good but it would look better if KP had the Torch and strauss had the Predator etc. KUTGW though buddy.
 
England fall apart

Key survives an LBW call first ball after Lunch

That was a tricky call possibly just outside the line?

Flintoff is then trapped LBW

Flintoff is not happy with the decision

Rob Key's slow and battling innings comes to an end when he is clean bowled

To add more problems Chris Read runs himself out for a duck

Hoggard is then caught at first slip

Blackwell goes for 13 and Sidebottom for a duck

A shocker of a performance by England. All out for 97 and it took them to 2:25 to get to that. This will definetly be cause for concern in the England dressing room

Rob Key top scored for Engand with 22 highlighting how poor England batted

A great performance by the Western Australian bowlers especially Edmondson

It is the Western Australian Innings next. The England bowlers are going to have to do something special to salvage something from a pitch where high scores are a must

This has nothing to do with cricket but i thought I would post this clip of our 1XV. I didn't make it.

(I didn't play at all in the season due to injury. I was well gutted)
