Sylestonean ODI cricket squad - World Cup in Liventia
The Sylestoneans are up and ready for their first world cup! They boast a strong, youthful squad not dissimilar to the one that nearly knocked over Ethane in the WTC. The players are looking forward to the time.

Baggieland got off to an excellent start at their first G.C.F. match beating Holy Land of Burtander by 214 runs. Captain Greenidge won the toss and elected to bat first. The opening pair got the Throstles off to a perfect start with a 150 run partnership. Mead then came in with a ton of his own before Michael Marshall tore through the opposition batting.

Richards and Reg Marshall began the day’s action with a cautious start to play, pushing deliveries away for the odd single as they looked to ease themselves into this tournament. It wasn’t until the fourth over that the Baggielandian faithful got to see their first boundary. After that, the confidence of the opening pair was palpable as they began to hit fours for fun. Richards had been stuck on 99 for four deliveries and his eagerness got the better of him as he called for a single that just wasn’t there, and was run out after a direct hit on the stumps. Mead then came out to partner Reg Marshall and they stuck around to record Baggieland’s second 150 run partnership of the innings. Mead had reached the unlucky number of 111 when he gave away his wicket to an excellent catch from the bowler. However, there were only three deliveries left in the innings and Smith walked out into the middle knowing that the only thing to do was swing the bat. He did so in emphatic style as he hit all three deliveries for six. Reg Marshall carried his bat to score 120 not out.

After the break, Baggieland took to the field looking to capitalise on the excellent start from their batters. Michael Marshall opened the bowling and his pace was too hot to handle for the Burtander openers, as his first over was a maiden. It didn’t take him long to get his first wicket as he removed Burtander’s most dangerous batter cheaply. From that moment onwards the Baggielandian bowlers were in total control. Michael Marshall decimated the top order finishing with figures of 5 – 28. The spinners then took over the attack with Udal and Sainsbury removing the middle order between them.

This was the perfect start for Baggieland with an all-round performance that contained very few mistakes. They will go into their next match full of confidence.

Baggieland secured their second win of the tournament to move them to the top of the group standings, but this was a much closer battle than the opening game. The Throstles won by four runs, thanks to a captain’s innings from Greenidge, however, the bowlers struggled to make an impact.

Kriegiersien won the toss and decided to let Baggieland bat first. Richards and Reg Marshall strolled out into the middle and were looking to continue where they left off from the first game. Unfortunately, they were both back in the Pavilion soon after having only put on 16 runs between them. They were replaced by Mead and Smith who steadied the ship by both scoring half-centuries. Just as this pair were looking to push on and post a century each, Kriegiersien changed their bowling attack effectively and removed both men by virtue of LBW. Cometh the hour, and cometh the man. Greenidge came out into the middle and made his intentions clear by hitting two fours from his first over. He played a superb innings from start to finish, timing his shots to perfection and his placement was inch-perfect. He kept the strike well, meaning Parks, Udal and Warne didn’t have to face too many deliveries from quality Kriegiersien bowling. He was eventually caught out just after reaching his century, leaving Marshall and Shackleton to see off the final overs.

A score of 282 was a decent total for the bowlers to defend, but the Kriegiersien batters went for it from the start. Michael Marshall, although his pace was causing plenty of problems, the Kriegiersienians went after him and were scoring freely off his overs, leaving him with figures of 1 – 74. Greenidge then put his spinners on, and although they helped to keep the run-rate down, they didn’t have much more success in terms of picking up wickets. Eventually, 282 was just a bit too much for Kriegiersien and Baggieland advanced to the top of the group standings.

Game #2 vs Jeckland:

After wickets in the Powerplay, Jeckland's middle order rallied and threatened to take the game away from Sylestone. However, thanks to Broughton Hall's five-for, Jeckland was restricted to 8/205 after 40 overs. However, the Sylestonean death bowlers failed to get wickets and Jeckland finished with 8/287.

Luke Tiati and Lachlan Edwards started off well, but wickets fell regularly due to Jeckland's supremely accurate bowling. So good it was, only young Lachlan Edwards passed fifty. They slowly fell behind the run rate and when Liam Afosha, the finisher, was dismissed, they were gone.
Their coach was very angry and demanded changes to their middle order.

The Jovannic Lose Again
The Jovannic Cricket Team has lost again, this time to the team from Kohnhead. Although the margin of loss is quite little, the loss still leaves The Jovannic Bottom of the table with no points. They had held Kohnhead to almost equal until a late Kohnhead spurt downed The Jovannic. Captain Salle explains " We Kinda lost our nerve and failed. Although we did better, We still lost. We promise to improve more this time. Some fans are feeling dejected, though popular pundit Michel Fatara says that they have had a steady trend of improvement as of late and may be able to bypass Ricardos7qm in the next match. Popular opinion suggests Salle take off Jan Clausineck, his bowls has been subpar of late and replace him with Tanfoga, who has been playing well. Marck Janjo also looks unsteady, with some inconsistent batting. Fans and pundits alike feels that Fe Penu, who has amazed people nowadays with his impressive batting, should take his place.

(THOSE ARE CHANGES)

“Where is the colonel?”

Marc Longbottom rushed at his cousin Charly who was guarding a door.

“What is the haste?”
“We just lost again.”
“Yes.”
“We have to do something.”
“What about?”
“We have to train, analyse the opponents. Use some tactics.”
“I see you are really new here. This sort of action is not appropriate.”
“Why? If we lose every match, do you know what that could mean? The honor of these corps is at stake. Probably the president withdraws our privileges.”
“Nonsense. We are old tradition, famous for our triumphs in battle…”
“After someone else bombed the enemy half into oblivion before. I read the history. And sport competitions are more important than war nowadays. I think if we fail here, the regiments status is faster gone than you think. There are others who want to see it finally fail and this is it. And you know what that could mean. Back to the normal army, no fancy uniforms, maybe back into the private sector. Into the nude world.”

Charly looked at his cousin with confusion on his face.

“No. You don’t think…”
“I think we have to talk to the Colonel.”
“I brought you here for… you know why. If you jeopardize us just because of some paranoia...”

“I will see the Colonel.”

“He is bathing. You know that it is not allowed to disturb him. For a practical reason.”
“He will survive that.”
“But maybe you won’t!”

Marc stormed into the bathroom before his cousin or the Zombieservant at the door could stop him, closed the door, pulled a curtain beside and freezed.

In the bathtub was the colonel. Naked. And he didn’t look like the man he seemed to be.

“You are a woman”, Marc gasped.

“The few moments I really bath without a bathing suit and then someone breaks the age-old rules. No one else allowed in the bathing rooms. No one.”
He pulled out a hidden pistol.
“Now you know the secret I have to make sure…”
“Wait, wait.” Marc opened his uniform and showed her breasts.
“I am Marcy Longbottom. Your secret is save.”

“Oh.”
The colonel let the pistol sink and started to laugh.
“And there I made my way up to the Top of these ancient regiment of men.. and know there is a second woman in it.”
“Three.”
“What?”
“My cousin here, that brought me into this corps, her name is Charline really.”
The colonel shook his head and gazed into the void.
“Unbelievable. I thought this is the perfect hiding place from these crazy mandatory nudity in our nation. To get into this old fashioned men’s club where you don’t have to be out of uniform ever. And I like cross-dressing and the beards. I am coming from a very cold region…Why are you here?”
“I just hate to be naked all the time, but I still love my home.”
“I mean, why are you here now? You shouldn’t. If anyone else of this blokes would break the rules, I… and you would be discovered…”
“Oh, yes. The thing is, we are losing too much. Games.”
“Who cares? We are here on our own. Thanks to our sponsor… Green leaf tea. Aromatic, relaxing, the best there is…”

She nods at the fourth wall, sipping from her tea cup.

After briefly trying to find out why the Colonel was starring at the wall, Marcy continued.
“I think this is an attempt of our enemies to discredit us and make the President to dissolve the regiment.”
“The President doesn’t care. If it is not an Olympic sport you have to look for your own. And we did pay everything for this trip by ourselves. And thanks to our sponsor...”
“No. I was in the Intel Agency and Armored Artillery Division before. They never liked that the “Mangos” stole their glory. And they convinced the President to make this tournament a test. And they knew that you are not taking this seriously.”
“Rumours.”
“And if they are true? I think we have to win at least some games. Do something for it. Train. I know we don’t have much Intel about the Holy Land of Burtander … But at least we have to do more.”

The colonel wrapped a towel around her body.
“Ok, ok, we will begin a training session. Get the squad together.”
“Thanks.”
“And don’t think that I am doing that because you are a fellow female. Marcy.”

Marcy ran out. Charly awaited her, biting her fingernails.
“How was it?”
“Bigger than I thought. How can you hide so much?”
“What?”
“Get the boys together. We will start with a tactic and training session. We will not lose against Burtander. Oh and I have to tell you something else.”

NEW LUNENBURG LOSE HIGH-SCORING MATCH IN OREAN

OREAN, LIVENTIA - New Lunenburg's cricketers were in action once more in the ODI World Trophy after travelling to Orean. The opponents were the Red Force of Anserisa. A couple of thousand New Lunenburg cricket fans were there to support their country and were in full voice, probably lending credence to the theory that most of them had likely subverted Liventia's strict laws on the public consumption of alcohol by sinking a few in their hotel rooms before heading to the ground. New Lunenburg batted first and batted well. David Klein made up for his poor form in the previous match with a skillfully-produced half-century, though Jordan Humphreys was dismissed for just twelve, meaning that he has produced just 20 runs in his two matches as an opening batsman. There were no shocking performances from the rest of the batsmen and at the end of the New Lunenburg innings, Sebastian Wells and Nathan Stainton were on 78* and 114* respectively. Although they went on to win the match, there may well be some questions posed by Cricket Anserisa to their bowlers, as they took just three wickets between them and were not particularly efficient against New Lunenburg's batsmen. After setting Anserisa a target of 340 to win, the New Lunenburg side must have felt relatively confident of a win, just as they were in the first match, which resulted in a narrow one-wicket victory from a match that ought to have been considerably easier for the side. This time the cockiness of the New Lunenburg attack got the better of them, as they proved to be no more efficient than their Anserisan counterparts, though they did at least manage to take six wickets. Narcisso Eurium was the highest scorer of the match, putting up 137 on the scoreboard before being dismissed leg before wicket by spinner Adam Lyons, though the entirety of the Anserisan batting order put in a stellar team effort to chase down the New Lunenburg side's target. William Rose's bowling was panned by many commentators, with a particularly expensive over of his giving Anserisa the victory with seven balls to spare. The New Lunenburg Cricket Board have announced that Joseph Graves will replace Humphreys as an opening batsman for the next match, as well as bringing in a second spinner by replacing Rose with Matthew Field.

Fray Common Green. Orean, Liventia
Anserisa 340/6 (48.5 overs)
New Lunenburg 339/3 (50 overs)
Anserisa win by four wickets with 1.1 overs to spare

by **Ko-oren** » Tue May 19, 2020 8:49 am

After the Barunia match, we caught up with some members of the Dragonflies. Captain Herschel Marsden, back in another capacity beyond Test captain, was asked what his expectations were for the tournament: "My expectations? Truth be told, we're in it for the championship. We've been so close with the Test squad now, and it's really time we grab a piece of silverware for ourselves. For the rest, it's a familiar background, I think this is probably my fourth time in Liventia? Very much like Ko-oren, looking at the stands. No smoking, barely any drinking, Some class opponents waiting for us, definitely looking for that chance to play the hosts and the Ploughers."
To the question on which of his teammates he expects most from, he answered, "Twaddle has been doing so well lately. Obviously, we're looking at what he can do in this format. All in all, though, it's a great opportunity to have a look at the guys who aren't in the Test squad. As someone from West Surbourneshire, getting this look at the guys from the East, or any of the other regions, is really valuable too. Aside from Reginald, and don't put the pressure on him too much, I'll be looking for a lot of sensible batting from White. Everett should really be the veteran, so it's on him to stop an early slide or to switch gears if we need to. For the bowlers, I think I know pretty well what they can do. I've worked with all of them before." One last thing we wanted the captain's ideas on, were the main rivals for the title. "From the lower groups, we've got our eyes on those teams that we also saw in Tests. All in all, after we're done with hours of cricket training, I have to admit I'm not always in the right headspace to watch the rest of the tournament as well. We do get some notes from the staff, and sometimes we sit down for highlights once they're live, but usually we keep it to teams from our group then. Liventia and Darmen are always strong, and they're our rivals, so I think it'd reflect really well on us if they were to do well, so I'm choosing them for biggest contenders around."

We then looked for comments by standout debutant Commins: "It's been amazing. What an atmosphere, and definitely not where I thought I'd be a year ago. Still, the guys keep telling me that I need to enjoy it while it lasts, you never know what you're getting in the future - it's not always better. So for that, I try to get out of the hotel when I can, just to take in the atmosphere. I never knew that, but as a player in this, it's so weird how you kind of forget there is a competition going on..."
Another debutant, Hellver, at wicketkeeper, describes how he works with his colleagues on the bench: "They [Wheelwright and Meredith] are fantastic. So supportive, I wish I could hit record whenever they say anything - they've seen it all. Plenty of work left for me. There are moments when communication between me and the bowler could be better, making it much easier for me to keep my concentration up. That's probably the big thing to work on for this entire thing."

Ko-oren 8/275 in 40.2
Damukuni 10/273 in 48.4

Ko-oren: Shapter, Twaddle, White, Commins, Willis, Hellver, Darknoll, Whitley, Lincoln, Marsden, Fox

In Folensia, a high-wicket match took place between two teams hoping to squeak through to the better groups in the next round, with Ko-oren definitely putting in an early bid for Group G or H. The bowlers dominated this one, going for wickets even though everyone said it would be impossible. The batsmen did help out at times: Group A promised to be high-scoring, and so the batsmen, low on patience in limited overs, make high scores happen - to some extent. A flurry of run outs cut Damukuni's innings short by eight balls, but still getting to a decent 273: the risk paid off more often than not, but they did lose a few decent batsmen towards the end. Their aggressive running certainly added to the total, but good fielding took some wickets as well. In the last few overs, Marsden and Fox punished the tail end with lots of swing to get three wickets in an over and a half to end it at 273.

On the other side, the Dragonflies had a horrible start to the innings. Twaddle threw his wicket away in the first over trying to get a six to start things off - not a terribly timed shot at all, but definitely not what was on offer and he paid for it. Shapter and White carried the team through the first five innings but then both their wickets fell in the same over, one run out, and one catch in the infield. Commins and Willis wanted to slow the run rate down a little, and were in a nice position to do so after the first three went for nearly seven runs per over - but the lull couldn't last too long, and Willis took the inititative. Solely going for what was on offer, he grounded every single shot, sometimes straight to a fielder but often finding a gap for a few runs. Commins didn't pull the trigger often, but if he did, it was for two runs or a boundary, pulling the ball or getting the ball past the bowler straight on. This partnership got Ko-oren well on the way to 274, but it couldn't last forever. Hellver, Darknoll, and Whitley then all had decent innings to get that 274 ever closer, displaying patience, baiting the bowlers a little, and most importantly, not making the mistake of rushing to the target - with 15 overs left, it just wasn't necessary. There are wickets in hand, don't mess it up now - except, Hellver and Darknoll didn't get the message in clearly enough, and dropped to edges in the slips. Not too many slips lined up, Damukuni couldn't afford to sacrifice outfielders because they had to think about keeping runs down. Whitley eased the tail-end into the final 10 runs, first with Lincoln, until he had off stump cleanly bowled, and then with the captain himself. Marsden bat in the final four to land on a wonderful total of 2 balls faced for four runs, giving Ko-oren the victory and heading into match three with confidence.

In the group, Liventia joins us in first place following their win over Barunia. Sajnur and the Plough Islands, both having had a bye round already, follow closely. Group B is dominated by Darmen so far, and they are the only team left in that group without a loss (!). Baggieland, Martune, Serriel, Kohnhead, and Waisnor are the best teams in Groups C-F for now.

WORLD TROPHY: DAMUKUNI MATCH DELIVERS 52 OVERS OF BRECHTIAN FARCE
by Denis Wormwood, Sporting Correspondent, in Folenisa

The Plough Islands' opening game of the highly anticipated One Day International Trophy in Liventia, against Damukuni, proved to be an unforgettable and memorable experience for none of the reasons that had been envisioned. While Kevin Laing's team performed well, and several Foxes players gave more than a good and honest account of themselves, events immediately after the scheduled innings slowly descended into a mess of tiebreaking criteria, communication difficulties, and all-too-human frustration as both teams initially finished their allotted fifty overs on the same amount of runs.
Damukuni had opted to bat, but despite finding some bowlers easy prey - Sarah Ashe went for 52 runs off eight overs, and Colin McCarthy took 2-60 off ten - they were effectively restricted by some good fielding and by excellent death bowling from Naomi Salisbury (2-25) and Shauna Weaver (1-35), who took late wickets to restrict the team in blue to 231-5. In reply, Graeme Holt succeeded only in being trapped plumb in front off the very first delivery to get the Plough Islands off to the worst possible start, but a half-century second-wicket partnership between Audrey Leggett (33) and Weaver settled their comrades' nerves. After Leggett trapped herself way out of her crease, and Rory Aliyev was adjudged lbw, Weaver continued the chase with captain Laing, the pair scoring quickly as they were able to get the better of the Damukunian pace attack.
With eight overs to go, the Plough Islands were poised for a relatively comfortable victory when Weaver shuffled over slightly too much to a Jilly-Grace Bell length and was trapped in front; she departed on 71, and thereafter the Foxes' progress was checked regularly as they lost first Arthur Donovan (17), and then Laing (46) to balls that seamed in off the increasingly deteriorating Folenisa pitch. with the match in the balance it was down to a rearguard partnership of ODI debutant Andrew Fairfield and wicketkeeper Tim Bleasdale to see the game out; by keeping the scoreboard ticking over, they exploited the pressure well and brought the Plough Islands to within eight of the total after 49 overs, and then - inexorably - to within just one run of the Damukuni score with a single delivery remaining.
The evergreen Fairfield was able to get down and scoop the yorker out, but Damukuni captain Jemimah Woodham had seen what might happen, and Fairfield could only find the fielder at square leg - and as he and Bleasdale instinctively ran the single, bringing the scores level after fifty overs, the Plough Islanders reacted with very visible trepidation or despair; those who could recall the tournament playing conditions knew what was to come. Unlike in Sutcliffe Shield matches - where Damukuni would have been declared the winners by way of losing fewer wickets in their innings - the playing conditions in the World Trophy mandate that an extra over, in which team has only three players available to bat, be played to determine the winner in a tied match, the so-called "Super Over".
The Foxes were to bat first, reversing the order of the preceding game, and with Leggett having rolled her ankle while fielding, it was Holt and Weaver who would carry Plough Islander hopes with the bat. However, the field set by Woodham - few close in fielders for the sake of it, and men all around the boundary - was tailored to restrict boundaries, and while Holt and Weaver kept rotating the strike and forcing Woodham to flip it around, Bell kept the ball low enough that neither of them could bring their big shots out, and they finished with a handful of singles and twos; Damukuni would need eight to win the match. The scarred Folenisa pitch offered some hope that Woodham and Rupert Deadman would have similar trouble when batting, but when Laing led the Foxes back out it was with far from confidence etched on their faces. Salisbury's first two deliveries were accurate and beat Deadman's bat, but her third ball drifted a little closer and Deadman was able to work it away for two down the leg side, prompting Laing to bring in his fielders closer until there was practically a second slip cordon in the striker's eyeline. The fourth was chopped low along the ground but bounced straight to Ashe at square leg, but then Deadman found the gap; slicing between Ashe and Fairfield for four to bring Damukuni just one behind the Plough Islands with one ball left to go.
To a roaring silence, Salisbury came in around the wicket and bowled short of a length, the ball rising and forcing Deadman into a back-foot half-defence that dropped dead harmlessly between Holt and Laing in the ring, and as the Damukunians scrambled the most scrambled of singles, the "Super Over" was finished with both teams equal. It was uncertain whether anyone present had anticipated the situation arising; none of the Plough Islander fielders had thought to ask umpires Zelzokosu Naunbalerinden and Burnadette Taylor in between deliveries what was going to happen, and as they had to consult the match referee and organising committee, Laing's hands were deep in his hair in confusion, and the increased volume inside the Folenisa Cricket Ground was threatening to drown out any discussion, with the crowd having not been updated on the playing conditions since the interval following the regular innings. Amidst something of an information vacuum, with even Andrew Kulayev of Plough Radio unable to find out with any certainty what would now happen, some of the Foxes left the field in search of answers, as did the Damukunians, while others huddled together by the green and amber pocket in the stands at the Desert End as a restive, agitated atmosphere began to build.
By the time the GCF match referee, former Krytenian spinner Caoimhín Ó Dáibhidh, was able to regain control of the situation, the solution turned out to be a second "Super Over" - by this point, the shadows were beginning to stretch out over the Folenisa wicket, although the spectators had been mollified somewhat by a loudspeaker announcement which clarified the playing conditions, as well as a subtle increase in the visibility of the Liventian police at access points. Ends and playing order were switched again, and with Salisbury - after some initial confusion, leading to another brief delay while Laing conferred with the umpires - not permitted to bowl in both extra overs, both Ashe and Fairfield volunteered for the task, and after some discussion the latter was nominated in Salisbury's stead. This time, Laing's close-set field proved even more effective; Fairfield varied his flight and length to good effect, and a four off the second ball from Woodham that soared just above Arthur Donovan's arms at extra cover was the only significant scoring shot; despite a run-out attempt failing when Woodham became desperate from the last ball, with Bleasdale unable to hang on to Ashe's throw, Damukuni were restricted to 5 for naught.
The Foxes should have been emboldened, but the events of the previous few hours had shown that anything - anything - was possible, and by now the look in their eyes was weary rather than hungry. Having by now become acquainted with the "Super Over" regulations, Laing took the decision to play himself in place of Graeme Holt; a decision that, two deliveries in to Shunsuke Konishi's offspin, seemed ill-advised, as Laing found himself forced to defend and unable to play any scoring shots. A deep mid-pitch conference with Weaver followed, and Laing got down to a topspinner and was able to eke a single out to fine leg. Weaver then lunged down the crease and drove Konishi back down the wicket for two, only for the fifth ball to beat Weaver's bat completely and draw a strangled, denied lbw shout from the Damukunians. By now, many of the Foxes could hardly watch what was happening, and nor could many of their comrades in the stands or back home - they closed their eyes and hoped, and the crack of leather on Willowdale timber followed by the battle cry of the Swift all-rounder was all they needed. 7 for naught. At last, the Foxes were shouting again.
Laing, rarely one to raise his voice in any circumstance, had shouted himself hoarse by the time he was able to offer any opinion on what had happened. "It was just a surreal situation to be in at the end - I feel as though I should have asked one of the umpires 'what is happening here?', but at the same time, I feel like someone could have made it clear, Jemimah [Woodham] had the same questions...". Echoing the point, Plough Radio's Kulayev told this author that "the playing conditions were made clear to all teams, and all media associated with teams, that in the event of a tie, a super over would be played - and the tournament handouts did not address what happens if that is also a tie", but declined to cast aspersions on the tournament's governance. "I do not think the Global Cricket Federation were at fault, once Caomhín became involved everything was very clear. There was more just a lack of communication within the ground about what was happening when, unfortunately".
Ultimately, though, Laing put the chaos at the end into perspective. "In the context of the tournament, two points is two points, and we will not be looking at ourselves and how we should have tried - everybody played their part brilliantly." The captain made special mention of Fairfield, however - "I think he has written his own chapter in the lore already!" - and the New Dalmatian all-rounder was, while still a little stunned by events, proud of his match-winning performance. "I never thought in a thousand years I would get picked for the first match, and I never thought in a thousand years I would help win it - at least, never with my bowling! The pitch was quite easy to read, especially towards the end of the innings, and I knew it would be easy to restrict them if things went right. I think we are all quite glad that they did - Damukuni are an extremely tough team to wear down..."
The format of the World Trophy, which effectively forces the established teams to play off against each other early on, means this will not be the last or sternest test the Plough Islands are likely to face; hosts Liventia and a strong Sajnur side await over the course of this week. For the immediate future, though, attention within the islands (and, to an extent, within the wider cricketing community) is likely to focus on the match on Tuesday against old, firm friends Ko-oren, at what will be a packed Park Central Oval. The Dragonflies started their own campaign solidly with a 36 run defeat of Barunia, and it is just as well that the Plough Islands have a rest day before what is sure to be an exciting, tightly contested match played in the finest spirit of cricket.
With all that being said, terms like 'exciting' and 'tightly contested' might well have new definitions after the events of today in Folenisa. The World Trophy may have only just begun, but it is hard to foresee any match for the rest of the competition playing out quite as dramatically as this one has - or containing quite as much pain, jubilation, and confusion, or switching between those emotions quite as quickly. Had Bertolt Brecht been inclined towards cricket, he would no doubt have approved.

Darmeni Bats come to Life
"Revenge" for Test title loss achieved

CITY CENTRE, LIVENTIA - Darmen's loss in the World Test Challenge Final has been "avenged," at least as much as a victory in the first group stage of the ODI World Trophy will allow. Teusland came up 81 runs short of victory chasing a Darmeni total of 295, with the 35,000 plus fans in attendance loving every minute of the matchup.

Darmen's batsmen, all the way through to the tail order, performed exceedingly well, even if there were no outstanding individual performances. Ben Trenker and Elias Lehner did their best to put an end to the hot Darmeni bats, combining for seven wickets but giving up 116 runs in the process. Josef Meusberger was far more economical, but aside from Darmeni captain Sigmund Winter, was unable to claim any victims.

Darmeni fielding made its way to the forefront in the Teusland innings, as several opposition middle-order batsmen were robbed of sixes by excellent catches along the boundary rope. Ellar Ready's catch of Silvester Basch was particularly exciting, as not only did the Darmeni fielder have to avoid tripping over the rope, but his first attempt to put hand to ball was less than successful and necessitated a second attempt. On the third try, Ready stopped bobbling the ball and raised it high for all to see, all the while tip-toeing just inches away from the rope. The roar of the Darmeni crowd following that catch was deafening, although one can only assume that at least a few of the Teusland supporters let out loud sighs and groans.

The one bright spot for Teusland was Linus Schell, who after coming on to take the place of Basch, remained for the rest of the innings and racked up 52 runs. With a little more support from the Edelweiss' tail order, Schell could very well have given Darmen a run for its money and made the match much closer. Unfortunately for him and his team however, none was forthcoming.

Following the match, Winter was asked about his team's use of the words revenge and avenge in their descriptions of the match and preparations for it. "Oh, we absolutely have a ton of respect for the Edelweiss, there's no hard feelings against them. But, we still felt that, after having dominated the Test season like we did and then to come up short in the Test Challenge Final, that it was a real bum way to end what was otherwise a great season. So we decided to take our 'revenge.' It was really just a fun way to describe out desire to win the match and acknowledge that we wanted victory just a little bit more in this match than we do for any of the other matches."

Darmen's second victory in as many matches puts Darmen in sole possession of first place in Group B. Darmen will remain in City Centre for the next match, with Mattijana as the opponent. The Marmots were readily dispatched by Elejamie in their first match of the competition, with the Greenblacks chasing down a total of 229 with two wickets and 14 overs still in their back pockets.

Despite scoring 41 runs against Teusland, Domenic Gardenar will be replaced in the starting XI by fellow all-rounder Bud Bachmann. This will be Bachmann's first appearance for the national team and the Selection Committee is excited to see what the youngster from Johnho can do. The change in lineup will also leave Dorian Myers as the only spinner in the lineup, but with the match taking place in City Centre and not Dover, this isn't seen as a problem.

"I look forward to seeing what Bachmann does in his first match on the international stage," commented Winter. "He's done well domestically, so we'll see if he can translate that success to this level too."

Kohnhead Wins first two Matches

With Kohnhead winning their first two matches against Ricardos7qm in the first one and The Jovannic in their second match some people might want to know about the history of Cricket in Kohnhead. Let me tell you it isn't very popular and is only really played at fancy clubs. These clubs also have some affiliation with soccer teams so thus that's why some of the players on the team are also soccer players.

A couple of years ago, there was no cricket teams and it wasn't played at all in countryside clubs. In fact no one really knew of its existence. That was until a wave of immigrants from a nearby land started coming to Kohnhead, and with them they brought a version of cricket. Now they were very poor but somehow some of the wealthier members (the Kohnheadian elite) saw this game and refined it a bit to more of the standard play at the international level.

A club in Barnley was the first to have a cricket team followed by Higol, Swisston, and more. The cities like Kohnhead City and Kohnface City don't have teams but the areas outside of them where some of the richest people in Kohnhead live started to have teams. Now most people didn't care for cricket then and still don't care for it, which is why the cricket team for Kohnhead is so weak. Anyway while cricket is sort of growing in popularity most of the immigrants stopped playing their version of it and cricket hasn't reached the average workers in Kohnhead.

It is not yet an official sport in Kohnhead but hopefully that can change in the next few years and there's a big chance if Kohnhead does well at the GCF ODI World Trophy 1, as because Kohnhead isn't in any other international events currently, it is being televised and the hope is more people can get into the sport. Personally I think that isn't going to happen and it will stay as a sport for the wealthy people of Kohnhead for the significant future but we will see what happens.

Kohnhead is in first place in group F tied with Waisnor at 4 points and it's possible that we make something happen but I am doubtful. Cricket is just a bigger sport in other places than it is in Kohnhead which will limit our abilities to get far.

The previous Kāppāḷar, whose name we do not speak, was sitting at her desk. Once a day packages and letters were brought to her after being pre-screened by some of her staff. Frequently they were official communiqués from other leaders, or adoring messages from her subjects. She appreciated them, and the gifts, and always wished to repay them to her people. The gift she received that day included The Tapes, a series of VHS cassettes of Global Cricket Federation test matches. She had never seen cricket before- sport in Samrakstivu at this time was mostly a chess-like board game- the physical endeavours were few. Yet, the Kāppāḷar was intrigued! She wished for her people to receive the gift of The Tapes, and so she commandeered the one television network and requested they be broadcast, and so for the subsequent 60 hours, the people of Samrakstivu learned of cricket.

Here many years later, our current Kāppāḷar has encouraged the Samrak people to follow the team at the ODI World Trophy I only through her nightly message, which today involved recounting blow for the blow the many boundaries and sixes the Samrak team was able to hit against Notun Ahom. 366 runs, such wonderful batting! Can you believe it? Our batswomen were really humming today, spraying balls all over the pitch. 366 runs in 49.1 overs was a very aggressive line, not our usual batting style, it was the Kāppāḷar's idea alone to try such an aggressive style, and she felt her sportswomen honoured her well by producing 366 runs. And look, Mattijana, who dishonoured us, lost! And Liventia, who refuse to move our matches to a ground more befitting of our glory and power, were able to produce but 191 runs- we would be able to easily defeat them.

Umbridge shines but collapse left Ethane vulnerable

Ethane were looking to make it 2 from 2 after a first-game victory against Lisander in which the batters shone but the bowlers came up short. That game was the highest scoring of the first round of fixtures, and despite the win, several flaws were highlighted in the Ethanian gameplan that could leave them vulnerable in future games.

It appears that the lessons have not been learnt from the first game, perhaps with players basking in the victory and ignoring the weaknesses stemming from it. But similar lessons have to be taken away from this game for improvement. While the opening batters were strong and backed up by certain members of the middle order, the tail was far too frail and offered little support in closing out the game. In fact, the last 3 wickets fell for a combined total of only 22 runs. This meant that the team could not finish out the allotted overs, reaching only 290 all out from 46.2 overs.

The bowlers have also not sufficiently upped their game following the run-fest of the first fixture. The high scoring nature of the game against Lisander was highlighted as an area for improvement, with a need to tame the scoring of the opponents. And with the game taking place on The Bastion Dover Cricket Ground in Dover, the spinners certainly found more traction. Yet they still could not match the economy rates of the best of the bowlers from Krytenia, with Hill reaching an economy rate of 3, taking 3 wickets, and Tong reaching an even better economy rate of 2.25, also taking 3 wickets - notably both spinners. In contrast, the best bowlers from the game against Krytenia for Ethane were Lion and Burns with an economy rate of 5.80 and 5.10 respectively. Burns, with his 5.10 economy rate also took the most wickets for Ethane, removing 3 Krytenian batters from the field.

The game

The players in Red and White up against the team in cyan - this was bound to be an interesting and dramatic game. It certainly met some of those expectations, with 18 wickets falling across the two innings. But with many of those wickets falling relatively cheaply, especially from the Ethanian tail, the Krytenian chase was all but assured after an initial flurry of runs, with the the bowling attack of the Red Kites never matching the economy of the Krytenians, and fading away at the most crucial moment.

It all went wrong for the Ethanians from the latter parts of their innings. Having chosen to bat first after winning the toss, looking to establish a high total similar to the total reached against Lisander, the boys in red and purple stormed through the first milestones of the innings. Dammelhead and Hannelten both managed to hit a decent total together, starting off the fixture with a reasonable opening partnership that set the expectations of following batters. They looked comfortable, finding gaps in Saxton's field. A couple of boundaries kept their hopes for personal milestones alive. There were a couple of moments where it came a little close for Hannelten. Obermann came close near the start of Hannelten's innings, coming just wide of off-stump. A couple of bouncers also caught Hannelten off-guard, but after settling in he was able to grow in confidence and hit 61, reaching his half-century comfortably. Dammelhead came close to reaching his half-century as well, reaching 49. Hill - one of the more efficient Krytenian bowlers, sent a straighter one down to Dammelhead. Without adjusting for the lesser spin on the delivery, Dammelhead was only able to drag the ball on to his own stumps. Rowell also fell cheaply. He never looked comfortable out on the field, struggling to adjust the strong spin conditions and failing to really get into the head of the bowlers. Thus, he was only able to knock out 14 runs before he fell to a beautiful delivery from Will de Tong, who managed to trap him LBW in front of the stumps, Rowell reacting too slowly to get at the ball.

Gary Umbridge brought some hope to the Ethanians. He came in alongside Hannelton, who had slowly but surely built up a base of runs from which to construct a high chase total for Krytenia. Umbridge seemed to be the secret weapon against Krytenian spin, settling in against the bowlers who had continued to challenge Dammelhead, Rowell, and Hannelten. Umbridge seemed to come out oozing with confidence, and for a significant period didn't come close to getting out. There was a moment, just after Hannelten was caught out by a return to the bowler, Saxton, with a sneaky delivery forcing him to play it straight. Umbridge came close to a caught out while sweeping it for four, the ball flying just a mere half-metre wide of Grafton behind the wicket. But Sammy Elizabeth brought in talent and reassurance for Umbridge, helping him to maintain his cool following the departure of Hannelten.

This allowed Umbridge and Elizabeth to form a solid partnership together, one they hoped would carry them to a reasonable total with a few batters and the tail remaining behind them in the line. Umbridge was confident against the changes brought in by Saxton to mix it up and put Ethane back on the back foot, hitting Obermann's first ball of this spell for six. But Elizabeth was caught up LBW by Udall with a yorker that caught him by surprise, and was unable to fix his footwork before the ball hit him plump in front of middle stump. Loughton also never settled, with caught by Grafton off Udall's bowling, with Loughton only able to nick a beautiful ball by Udall which went straight to Grafton, who pounced on the chance. Not too long after, he also had the chance to rectify his earlier misjudgement in trying to catch Umbridge out with an edge off Obermann's delivery following his century giving him the opportunity. He took the opportunity with majestic acrobatics, diving to take the catch and remove Umbridge for 102 - a much larger total than he would have hoped to remove Umbridge for, considering his earlier opportunity. The tail quickly fell behind Umbridge. Farther was LBW to a de Tong delivery, with the rest of the tail wrapped up for 22 runs, out to the deadly spinners who had wreaked so much havoc on this Ethanian team.

The Krytenian response was just as fired up as the initial Ethanian batters were. Schneller and Tatton smashed the Ethanian bowlers for runs, with several boundaries dotted here and there, as they raced into their thirties. Yet, mistakes from the batters turned the match in favour of Ethane early on in the Krytenian inning. A mix-up between Tatton and Schneller left Schneller stranded and easily run out. Following this, Umbridge was able to continue his strong performance with a fine catch off a poor piece of batting from Tatton, misjudging an average fast ball from Pilton.

The Ethanian bowlers were unable to keep the Krytenian batters at bay for long though. Despite the mistakes halting the early rapid start to their innings, Watling continued to power away for Krytenia on the field, with Fulmer providing a slower, but still steady, stream of runs for them. Once again, Watling as he began to draw close to his half-century, made a mistake which allowed a relatively easy out for the poor Ethanian bowlers. A leg-break from Burns was misjudged by Watling and ended up falling on to the stumps, giving a wicket to Ethane which they perhaps didn't deserve, unable to truly control the run rate bar mistakes by the opposition.

The bowlers came close to a few breakthroughs, with Burns and Lion continuing to challenge the Krytenian batters. Fern was called out to Burns, but the call was reversed on review, a decision which could have been the turning point in the game considering the fact Ethane only needed 2 more wickets to prevent the Krytenians reaching their chase total. The Ethanian bowlers still managed to appear to keep it close though. Udall managed to tally up a decent score to support Fern and keep Krytenia in the game, following the departure of Grafton and Saxton. However, he was out to Sammy Elizabeth, leaving the match delicately poised with Krytenia on 269/7, soon to be 269/8 with Obermann out on a duck. But Fern was able to keep plodding away, racking up runs, with Hill supporting him from the rear of the tail.

What the captains had to say

Lynton Saxon: ''It ended up being a far tighter game than we would have liked. We got going quite fast early on, but a few mistakes set us back a little and kept Burns' men in the game. Watling came out and did some wonders for us as well, but he again fell to a mistake. We managed to finish up the game with a few overs to spare in the end, but we do need to cut out this mistakes in our batting if we want to go one and perform well in this tournament. The mistakes by Schneller, Tatton, and Watling are forgiveable only because we won; if we lost then we would have needed to take a long hard look at ourselves and our communication on the field. Our bowlers did us well though, although restricting Ethane to a slightly lower score would have been nice. Still, to take out their tail for 22 runs is something we can look at and say we did well with, because it stopped them tallying a slightly higher, more formidable score."

Thomas Burns: "It's all about the economy of the bowlers. We managed to tally up a reasonable score out on the field, coming close to that 300 total which we surpassed with ease against Lisander. But again, we were too dependent on one man. Umbridge did us proud, but we need to share the load more if we want to find success in this tournament. Still, similar to last game it is our bowling which we need to work on more. We had numerous opportunities to shut out the game, but we always let Krytenia back into it after their mistakes, never capitalising on the moments when we were ahead. I was our best bowler tonight with 3 wickets and an economy rate of 5.10. Lion did well with an economy rate of 5.80 and 1 wicket. But when the opponent's spin bowlers are getting economy rates of 2.25 and 3.00, picking up 3 wickets a piece, then we need to realise that our bowling totals are not good enough. We've got a lot to work on in training over the next few days, but I believe we have it in us to improve where we need to and continue to challenge and advance in this tournament."

Wrong, the team coach is left wondering what to do. The team is putting their best during training, spending countless hours in gym, strictly following the diet prescribed by the nutritionists, they are doing everything correct except actually winning the bloody game.

He needs to talk the captain about changing the playing XI. They just can't keep doing the same thing and expecting to win. They have to bring in a breath of fresh air.

He knows, he needs to to do something drastic to turn it around.

Martune Motley Crew Does It Again; Secures Second Group Play Win

In another thrilling performance by the national cricket team, they have won the second group play game in an impressive showing against their opponent.

Subramani 292/8
Martune 341/7
Martune win by 49 runs

The Martune side batted first and started off on fire; hitting 6 boundaries in the first two overs. They were aided by a faltering bowling performance from Subramani who couldn't seem to throw the ball anywhere near the wicket most of innings. Notable performances came from Eduard Gardener, Raymond Antonio, and the team's best bowler, Leon Holland. Eduard Gardener hit for 115 and was unfortunately bowled out after attempting to go for boundary. Antonio hit for 100 and was caught out on a close six. Leon Holland lit up the top of the Subramani order, taking the first 4 wickets and then the 8th and final wicket taken.

Martune now lead Group D, alongside Serriel, and could potentially cement themselves atop the Group with another win against Northwest Kalactin. But, don't be mistaken, the Northwest crew is hardened and will prove a difficult bunch to beat once they step onto the pitch.

Eduard Gardener was interviewed post match; here's what he had to say:

Patricia Thompson: "Ed, tonight was a miraculous performance by this rookie squad, how do you think you did it?"

Gardener: "Well, I think as a team we just stuck together, you know it is pretty worrying to see a team crawl back into 290, 
but we just put faith in our ability to defend our lead and it all worked out in the end."

Thompson: "Not only teamwork Pat, but great individual performances like your own. 
115 for the day and your friend Raymond batting 100, how do you explain that?"

Gardener: "Practice and dedication. No guy hits the pitch and wants to suck it up. 
We put our hearts into this and it pays off on the scorecards. These guys are great and we aren't quite done in this tournament yet."

Thompson: "Well, one last question. How does your team feel about the Northwest Kalactin match tomorrow?"

Gardener: "Oh we are ready. It's another game and we will treat it that way. 
Hopefully we can get that bats working and the bowlers doing their job. 
As long as we come out to compete we can't be dissapointed."

Thompson: "Well thank you Ed. We will be back tomorrow after the biggest Martune matchup to date."

Coach Johnathan Moors, 36
Johnathan Buckstain, 31, Right-hand, Middle-order, Right-spinner
[VC] Eric Reeves, 40, Right-hand, Opener, Right-medium
[C] Nick Coffee, 32, Left-hand, Tail-end, Left-fast

Joshua Jones, 18, Right-hand, Late-order, Wicket-keeper
Ben Flags, 29, Left-hand, Late-order, Left-spinner

Notable Players
Eric Reeves: 40 year old batsman Eric Reeves is the second oldest player on the team, and holds a the Vice-Captainship. A formidable batsman, known for his aggressive style in both batting and running between the wickets. Not exactly an all-rounder, his delivery can generously be considered medium, and taking wickets is rare on the occasion he bowls an over.

Nick Coffee: Team Captain Nick Coffee is expected to be a formidable leader heading into the squads first international tournament. He is considered the squad's best bowler, with a very fast left-arm seam delivery. Trusting him to keep a wicket while batting however, would be quite a mistake.

Scott Spanner: Young gun Scott Spanner is one of the team's openers for the tournament. He is usually capable of both defending his wicket and managing a decent run-rate.

Khan Singh: 34 year old Khan Singh is the team's best spin-bowler. A rather timid batsman, he is expected to do more damage on the bowling side of things than with his bat.

5 Facts
1) The team is known as the Cricketing Canaries, but calling them the Canaries is just fine.
2) Team colors are red with vertical yellow stripes, with the word "Canaries," plastered across the front of the kit.
3) Both of our wicket-keepers are named Joshua, and are the oldest and youngest players on the team.
4) Every top-level T-20 side in the Holy Land of Burtander is represented on this squad.
5) The Holy Land of Burtander is the only nation in the Linguine Islands to have its own ODI side.

crazy with your RPs, I'll try to do RP for all matches from this
point onward, but it may be difficult given time constraints.

Tough debut for Anserisa in the GCF ODI World Trophy

ALA-Sportem reports
Hello and welcome to this first report on the Anserisan representation to the GCF ODI World Trophy. So far, the team as played two games, with one defeat and one win, with the entire group E tied at the moment.

Results so far :

Anserisa 233/9 (50 overs)
New Maxwellia 236/8 (40.4 overs)
New Maxwellia win by 2 wickets

Anserisa 340/6 (48.5 overs)
New Lunenburg 339/3 (50 overs)
Anserisa win by 4 wickets

After a disappointing start, the Anserisan side was able to get a crucial victory against New Lunenburg, winning by 4 wickets, thanks to better batting than the previous game. The bowling team having been able to only retire 3 players during the first inning, the game was left to the batting with a high target of 339 set by New Lunenburg. The team has said that even though they've won the previous game, bowling and dismissal are going to be key elements in the upcoming games if the Anserisan Cricket Team wants a chance in the tournament. The team will resume play against Samrakstivu next.

Mattijana Dealt Reality Check in Liventia, but Still no Cause for Panic

MFO SPORT

Mattijana's loss to Elejamie in their World ODI opener was undeniably a blow for a team that were quietly confident of a victory to start their campaign. A number of things went wrong for them during the game as they amassed only 229-8 in their innings before allowing Elejamie to chase down the lowly target with 14 overs to spare.

A flurry of wickets at the top-order were probably the main problem for the marmots, exposing the middle order to the unfamiliar job of having to build an innings and subsequently exposing the lower order to do the middle order finishing. That lead to the likes of Jasmina Benzeni and Fredi Glukspiel getting stuck in the mud during the middle overs, failing to rotate strike well and then getting out before they could strike at the death.

A few of the top-order batters' dismissals were particularly poor given the context of the match. Dominik Vukjic's natural game is to hit the ball hard, but on a sticky pitch offering something for seam and in particular spin, you have to earn the right to play shots by playing yourself in first.
It's not just the players you'd expect to get out cheaply that failed to value their wicket though. Experienced players Katarina Sava and Marko Zackov both got out trying to force the run rate with fairly loose shots and despite a fairly admirable bit of rebuilding from Jasmina Benzeni and Fredi Glukspiel, there was only so much they could do before getting a ball with their name on it.

There is no doubt Mattijana have a talented batting lineup. They are well set up for modern day ODI hitting and acceleration and on a flat deck, could have gone out and posted 400. Unfortunately, this was not a flat deck and was in fact a pitch where a more old-fashioned, circumspect approach, at least to start with, would have been suitable. Vukjic is still young and his game still needs to mature to the demands of tough international bowling on a range of pitches, but the more experienced members of the top order need to take responsibility as well.

There was also concern for the bowling attack during the defeat. Wicket-taking was less of a problem, Elejamie also losing 8 during their chase, but drying up the run rate was more of an issue, the Greenblacks knocking off the total in 36 overs.
With the traditionally spin-friendly ground of the Bastion one of Mattijana's venues for the first round of the tournament, attention quickly turned to how new spinners Johanna Murska and Jan Nortje would fare against quality batting. The answer was a mixed one in truth. Murska's leg-spin looked a real wicket-taking threat, but also served up its fair share of buffet bowling as her figures of 4-76 from her 9 overs reflected. Nortje on the other hand looked harder to get to the ropes, but defending such a low total, being comfortably milked for 5 an over is not enough.

The seam attack also had a tricky day. Kasenka Riegler looked the most threatening opening the bowling, finishing with 2-43 from his 10. He is the only member of the Mattijanan side with consistent pace over 90mph and utilised the dry pitch to extract some bounce too. Karamov picked up 1-32 from 7 on a fairly indifferent day for the captain, but Johanovic looked ineffective and her position in the team is probably most at threat for the next game - against Darmen in City Centre.

Here, there is no cause for panic. There is still a lot of Cricket to be played and a generous four teams from groups A and B will get a free pass to the second group stage. Even then, none of the remaining 6 will get eliminated there and then, with the chance to make the quarters via a group containing several associate nations and a playoff with the nations finishing lower down in that second group stage. It's a fairly messy format in truth, but one that gives associate nations a chance whilst rewarding established cricketing nations for the work put in to gain that status.

The pitch in City Centre should suit the more aggressive batting and the warm weather in southern Mattijana mirrors those at Liventia's second-largest ground. More importantly, Karamov's side will have had the chance to conduct the post-mortem of their opening performance and hopefully learn from their mistakes. What is important is that they stay calm. It's easy to say from the sidelines, but it's easy to get caught in a rut trying to make up for past performances. This is a new game and a completely fresh performance is needed. What I do hope is that Mattijana will not abandon their aggressive approach if the pitch does turn out to be an absolute road, just that they take some time to find out whether it is first.

Bringing in an extra batter for the second game is also a smart move. With Fredi Gluckspiel and Marko Zackov in the side, the team have enough bowling options and in left-hander Jelena Laramzic, they have a player who can move up and down the order depending on the situation her teammates find themselves in.

Darmen will be a tough challenge. They are unbeaten from their first two games and have a good balance of limited overs specialists and test-match glue in their batting order. The pace attack may be something the Mattijanan batters can get stuck into though, with just one specialist spinner in the squad in Dorian Myers. A victory against them will be hard to mastermind, but will give Karamov and his team a huge confidence boost for the rest of the tournament if they can pull it off.

XI for Mattijana vs Darmen:

Katarina Sava
Dominik Vukjic
Marko Zackov
Jelena Laramazic
Jasmina Benzeni
Fredi Glukspiel
Jos Illicic
Mattias Karamov
Johanna Murska
Kasenka Riegler
Jan Nortje

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they go big or fall flat. Tonight is that night gentlemen. All I need from every one of you is 100% of the best stuff you got. If you can give me that then I could never be disappointed. This squad means a lot to me and I can’t wait to see us succeed even more. But for tonight we focus on our opponent.

Cricket snippets
Hosts scrape win as World Trophy heats up
FOLENISA— Hosts Liventia are two-from-two in the inaugural cricket World Trophy after scraping home with one wicket to spare in a low chase against Barunia.

After winning the toss, captain Dave Edwards opted to insert the Barunians on what has proven to be a tricky wicket at "HQ", with the ground producing mostly sub-250 scores so far in the tournament.

So it proved again as the Liventian spin duo of Francis Kennedy and Ryan de Cerci successfully held their ends down for their allotted 20 overs; only 45 runs of Barunia's 188/6 total came off the spinners.

However, Edwards' men faltered in their run chase, collapsing to 15/4 inside the opening powerplay before veterans Ollie Kerr and Mike Sarrin put on a stand of 125 to take the score to a far more respectable 140/5 by the time Kerr fell for a hard-fought 82.

Another mini-collapse followed, with three wickets going down for only 22 runs, leaving Liventia still needing 27 runs with only two wickets in hand.

Step in Kennedy and de Cerci, the spinners, who ably guided the Red-and-Gold to 187/8 before de Cerci was stumped. Any nerves were swiftly dispelled by the number 11 Josh Huws, however, who whacked his first delivery faced for six to secure the one-wicket victory.

Samrakstivu "request" denied
FOLENISA— The Liventian Cricketing Board of Authority and cricket World Trophy organisers have confirmed that a request received from Samrakstivu to switch that nation's games to the Park Central Oval in Orean have been denied.

Drawn in Group E, the small country making its Global Cricket Federation debut were said to have asked for their games to be played in Orean to "glorify" their benevolent dictator-like Kāppāḷar, a God-Queen figure.

It was explained that the Samrakstivu players had only heard of Park Central and no other ground in Liventia, their knowledge of cricket having come from old VHS tapes of Liventia's debut season as a GCF Test nation.

The GCF directed all questions about ground allocation to the CBA and World Trophy organisers, who have today confirmed all Group E games will remain at Lewes Park in Neverend and the Fray Common Green in northeastern Orean.

A short statement read: "As a team playing in Group E, Samrakstivu already have the privilege of playing at a GCF-accredited internationally-approved Test match facility in Lewes Park.

"This ground allocation was only afforded to Group E, with other teams in the lower pots not allocated to a Test ground.

"We believe this is sufficient respect accorded to the Kāppāḷar."
