Well done on completing the 3rd OD, and a good way to start for Worcestershire 
. Still waiting on the 1st 2 OD's 
3rd OD: Worcestershire claim first blood in VB Series...
The first 2 One day matches have been postponed due to poor weather, but the sun shone on the 3rd Match. This saw Lancashire fight it out against Worcestershire in a competitive outing.
Worcestershire got off to a good start, Australian player Mathew Hayden and Vikram Solanki opening the innings. Solanki played a cautious 24 off 73, contrasted by a cavalier innings from Hayden (81 off 90). Quick scoring from Yardy (39), Moore (35) and Middlebrook (33) saw Worcestershire to 260 allout off 46.1 overs. This was despite some determined spin bowling by Shahid Afridi (5/60).
Lancashire then got off to a poor start, with top 3 batsmen Scargill (17), Marcus North (5) and Afridi (8) heading back with little impact. Experienced players Ian Blackwell (44), Darren Leahmann (27) and Flintoff (61) attempted to save their team. Flintoff entertained with 61 off 36 balls, including 10 cracking boundaries. Lancashire collapsed to 227 off 44.2 overs. Worcestershire won by 33 runs, Afridi claiming Man of the Match for his heroic 5-for for a losing cause.
Worcestershire were unable to claim a bonus point, as their runrate was only 1.10 time of that of Lancashire, lower than the required 1.25.
Images: Flintoff entertained the crowd as his team eventually crumbled, and the sponsors were to drunk to realise they had assembled the Twenty20 stumps instead of the VB Series ones...
The Points Table will be up soon, and can be found in the 1st post...

I would also be perfectly happy for James to take part but this is going to be hard rescheduling for you Hamish!

No worries Hopeful. Your school work should always come first. I'll PM James W, and rescheduling wont be hard as only one game has been played so far.

All games that do not include Hampshire (hopeful) are still running. Basically, that is Worcestershire vs Lancashire.
James W is unable to participate as his game is not working properly. Once a person signs up, we will just tick off all overdue matches gradually.
Any person who is interested in taking up this vacant spot, please read the rules on the 1st post, and if you agree, then sign up with the required details.

Former Teachers strike back at Hampshire Coach and players...
The VB Series, already hampered by rain and lazy coaches not appearing, has gone under more pressure, with Hopeful, Hampshire coach, and many Hampshire players having to resign from the tournament. A new bill was passed in parliament, saying that any person who has not fulfilled requirements at school must return, no matter the age.
Hopeful, at the ripe age of 52, a very successful coach, earning lots of money, was forced back to go to school to fulfill a term's requirements that he failed to achieve in Year 9.
Shane Warne, was the next victim, who attended school in England for 1 year, the whole time spent in Texting girls in his class with his mobile. Pietersen was sent back to South Africa as well to finish off his assignment on local Springboks.
James W, the likely candidate to replace the academic underachievers of Hampshire, declined the offer after news that he could not play ICC 06, as it wasnt working, his preferred simulation of future matches that the real team is soon to play.
"Without my simulator, the team can't come with tactics to trouble our opponents, so we won't be able to compete to the standard set in this tournament. How will I know if a player is going to get injured getting in the head before-hand? How will I know whether the fielders hit the stumps every time there is a run-out chance?"
A replacement team is yet to be found. If no team accepts, the VB Series will become a bilateral series. Hopefully it doesn't become like the Unitech Cup with all that darned rain...
