Ian Botham: Welcome to the first ever Planet Cricket Challenge test match. We are live from Lords where Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to field. We had some rain in the last few days so the pitch is damp. And with the overcast conditions bowlers will have early advantage.

Here are the two teams-

England: N Hussain ?, MP Vaughan, ME Trescothick, MA Butcher, WRT Key, A McGrath, AJ Stewart (w), AF Giles, MJ Hoggard, JM Anderson, SJ Harmison.

Zimbabwe: Mark Vermeulen, Dion Ebrahim, Stuart Carlisle, Grant Flower, Tatenda Taibu (w), Sean Ervine, Heath Streak ?, Andy Blignaut, Travis Friend, Raymond Price, Douglas Hondo.

Let's now go to David Gower as Trescothick takes strike against Streak.. :sw:

DAY 1

England has made a good start under difficult batting conditions. Close to lunch, they are 101 for 2 with Buthcer not out on 27 and Hussain on 12. Highlight of the match so far was a superb 54 by the in form Vaughan. Unfortunatey for England he was bowled when looking set for a big total.
 
Whoever wants to continue from this stage, download the gam file (and teams)..and post your name so that there is no confusion ;) ..good luck :up:

ps don't forget the slot limit and autoplay rules :zimrahil:
 
I wish to continue from here....

It was after lunch, the England batsman gone after the bowling. They just lost butcher for 79 in this session. England was 226 for 3 after 45 overs with Hussain and Stewart still left in the field with 61 and 18 respectively.

When the score reached 202 i generated autoplay to get 226/3. I think i played according to the rules, am I?
Statistics here...
 
yes that was perfect, kar_ind :D I will play the game next for another turn B)




700th post :horse:
 
England lost 3 more wickets since the last update. Hussain was the first to go - diving catch at deep sq. leg. Key managed just 2 before he was caught at short leg. Stewert was out for 55. England are now 270 for 6..must be hoping for some runs from the tail enders.
 
File for download. Now that current partnership is for 7th wicket, slot limit is 75 runs/2 wicket..
scoring has been realistic so far you guys think? (stewart's wicket lost in autoplay)
 
Yeah, the scorings been great! I'm gonna play the next section, so no one else start! I'll post the game and screenshots as soon as i'm done!
 
Oh... it was the first time i had played with that patch, and it was hard.... i lost two wicked by the time i had got to 293... and then in the 5 overs autoplay the final two wickets fell without any runs scored!!! So England get 293 for the first innings. I bowled the first over of the next innings (for 0 runs, just to be fair), and whoever plays next needs to swap the teams around.
