[m_vaughan]

just incase u arnt aware of the fact that the replay tool box can be removed (hid) if you press Enter.

lol, ill remember that next time. As for the six's not sure i sometimes forget to press f10, i dont plan to hit anymore with vaughan, i have my eye on a double century if i can see off the current new ball.

also, i cocked up some of the screenies wrong way round and stuff, they should be correct now.

Day 2 Session 1


England came out in aggressive style, looking to add to there already immpressive score. Vaughan fell just short of his 150. He drived one to many and was caught at around cover. Thorpe had a few early scares, but settled and scored a quick fire 50 before being caught plum lbw by murali. Hussain was looking in excellent form at the other end. Flintoff arrived, nicked one through the slip, then was clean bowled by jaysuriya. Flintoff misseed out on this great track. So Sri Lanka at lasdt make some sort of decent breakthrough. Johnson is looking uncomfortable against the spinners. Its up to Hussain to guide the lower order batsmen through and dominate the strike as much as possible. England will be hoping for a score in excess of 450, Sri Lanka may be batting beofre the end of the day.

Sorry for no writing it messed up, it should make sense after viewing the scorecard though :o

Thats a very good score. Too bad Vauganny couldnt manage to score a double century.

You still have a good chance of scoring 500+

I was just going to ask you that how do you manage to give so much time for c2k4.

Despite being in vacations, I manage a maximum of 4 hrs for the game every day. (Already my gf has started complaining: )

Its happened with me also.

You sometimes dont expect the ball to turn as much as it does.

Now, thats something very realistic, aint it m8??

For once- Well done EA!!

Day 2 Session 2


Englands excellent partnerships continued through hussain and johnson, johnson was the more silent partner, allowing the in-form hussain to prosper on this great batting track. Hussain reached his first century of the tour. Johnson did fall to Jaysuriya, leaving a ball that should have been blocked. Read arrived at the crease and is looking in good form as well. Sri Lanka could well be batting out a draw, or for as long as they can last as england look for a score between 550-600.
