Guess you just had a copy and paste error.. owell WOAH dave kennet in the form of his life.. 12 wickets to add to his 9 from the first test.. definatly man of the series.. great match webbers.

 

[cbuts]

Maiden Test series win for the CW XI. <- Worth noting.

Awesome showing from Kennett there.What was it? 22 wickets in two tests? Brilliant.

And CW finally get a series in on the board as well. Hopefully the rise continues.

Emphatic series win there. Two crushing innings victories, really showing the sort of ruthless play required to dominate the international scene. A stable platform laid by the batsman allowed for Dave Kennett in superlative form to rip through the Sri Lankans with penetrative fast bowling.

What a guy.

What you mean worth nothing Liam?

Wow.

Great series win! Well done the batsmen for 2 marvellous first innings in both tests to allow the bowlers to put the pressure on!

Very pleased to have finally gotten a series win under our belts! Great stuff!

 

[David]

Goes to show how well our dev league system is working, without it we'd still be struggling.

DAVID KENNETT!! Pains me to say this but
What a guy! I'd say he's the new spearhead! Wowzer

Awesome series for the CW XI - Sri Lanka are all class and we beat them by an innings and something in both matches. Amazing. Well done to everyone, everyone chipped in there.

I'm curious about the conditions... how much impact do they actually have? On day 3 in this game (as far at it went), it was a fairly good batting pitch with a few cracks, and good bounce with the occasion one lifting. That sounds more like the MCG on day 3 than Kandy, which is usually slow and dusty with low bounce and a LOT of turn by day 3. Does the sim not give much control over what the conditions are like?

Anyway another dominating win. Great fun it was watching the demolition from the pavillion. Kennett definitely staking a claim for permanent selection. 12 wickets?Dang dog!!!

That's what I aim for every game. Splendid knock.

Magnificent series, Kennett. I think the CW bookie has some serious egg on his face.

[ash chaulk]

shove that up the reporters bum !!!!

A big TAKE THAT to everyone who was critising the side. Great bowling from Kennett in his greatest performance to date IMO. Everyone contributed and made an impact in the match, a wonderful team performance. We certainly celebrated hard in a Flintoff like way.

21 wickets in 2 Tests as a quick in SL - I think you've made a slight understatement there.

The sim has a great deal of condition impact.

 

[superkingdave]

great win, great phenomenal performance by Kennett - kudos to Butler aswell

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Right, but how much control can you exert over how they turn out? Is it actually possible to have a slow turner if you want for a match? Because those conditions don't seem particularly Sri Lanka-like.
