well

12.1 Angel to Carlisle, no run, leaves a ball well wide of off and is

1 wicket for 26 runs

17.2 Worthington to Vermeulen, no run, leaving again and very watchful -

turns as it passes but doesnt play a shot - the keeper (Campbell
today) dives to the leg side and rolls after taking it
17.4 Worthington to Vermeulen, no run, leaves outside off again
17.5 Worthington to Vermeulen, no run, leaving outside off not so
watchful - now he seems to be feigning boredom

take a stride down the pitch but let it pass keeping his ey on the
pitch where it landed - now he walks up and prods it a bit with
the toe of the bat

cry
18.4 Angel to Carlisle, no run, appealing for a catch behind after the
ball fairly looped to Campbell - Angel doesnt appeal (a dead give
away)
18.5 Angel to Carlisle, no run, playing missing the outside edge and the

town favourite
18.6 Angel to Carlisle, no run

not looking for a run but sizing up fielders
20.5 Angel to Carlisle, OUT: pushing across the line the ball sneaks

Match State: Lunch - Day 1
Great start to the Warriors season after many of the players were
defeated by the Zimbabweans whilst representing the Cricket
Australia Chairmans XI
Angel took one wicket at Lilac Hill and has followed up with
another (so far) today.
Neither Wilson nor Wates played in the Lilac Hill match
Worthington is bowling with pace though has been a little erratic.
And Casson has only had the one over so far.
Vermeulen is the best for Zimbabwe so far. He played and missed a
few times and edged the ball short of slips a couple of times too.
Play about to restart after lunch on day one with Wates taking over
from Wilson whose spell was 2 overs 1 maiden 1 wicket for 4 runs
30.1 Wates to Evans, no run, leaves outside off
30.2 Wates to Evans, no run, leaves outside off
30.3 Wates to Evans, OUT: awkward rising ball takes the handle or glove
of the batsman as he tried vainly to defend about his upper chest.
The ball popped up and looped to Campbell for a rather easy catch.

Match State: Lunch - Day 3
Thats Lunch on the final day. A 40 minute break from 12:30 to 13:10
AWST (04:30 to 05:10 GMT)
Western Australia declared overnight trailing by 123 runs
Gripper is within sight of a fifty which is better than his 9 in
the firts innings
Ebrahim came and went quickly in both innings - nothing if
consistent
Vermeulen backed up his first innings 38 with a sensible 30 and was
brought undone by cool heads in the field. He and Gripper had a
fifty plus partnership for much of the first session here today.
