  Germany Drop Out Of Global Cricket

  Posted: April 16th, 2013, 5:04pm MDT by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Phewwww The German cricket team has disappeared from the global landscape with four losses and one tie. We knew that the 2013 edition of the ICC World Cricket League Division 7 would be our sternest test in many years. Our goal was so much bigger than just avoiding relegation: we had to get promoted to Division 6, since Divisions 8 and 7 would cease to exist, and therefore we needed to be amongst the two finalists of the competition. Additionally to this pressure the problems began to pile up ahead of the tournament. Key players were

  Hi friends, in a few days the German cricket team will depart to Botswana, where this year's edition of the ICC World Cricket League Div. 7 takes place.

  Andrew Strauss: Bat Out Of Hell...

  Posted: August 30th, 2012, 6:17pm MDT by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  ... back into hell. Some of you may have read on Facebook* about my special affection for the Straussifer, now former captain of the England Test team. Wherever his shark grin popped out of the dust cloud, a team I like was either having a bloody tough time, or got smashed to pieces from day 1 to day 3 (day 5 if lucky). Therefore Andrew Strauss' genuine, hell-baked maliciousness played a major, if not deciding role in me falling in love with cricket. Yes that makes sense. Read:

  Germans Have Last Laugh In Denmark

  Posted: July 18th, 2012, 5:59pm MDT by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  The German cricket team has returned from a demanding week-long trip to Husum, where they underwent a rigid training programme and played two 50-over matches against the Danish hosts. Germany unfortunately got hammered in the first match, but bounced back with a 90-run win over the Olsen-banden in the re-match. According to different sources another supernewb, 18-year old Rohit Singh, gave his debut in the second match and immediately racked up the second highest score, however, his name does not appear in the scorecard, but the cards seem to be not quite accurate in

  Netherlands Supporters Look Here

  Posted: June 6th, 2012, 2:18pm MDT by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Hey guys and guyettes, do you remember Josh aka halftracker from Clear Cricket? Yes, you do. He wrote a cracker of an article in defence of the Dutch cricket team. Obviously the Netherlands, the pride of the Old World and indefatigable workhorse pulling the continental cricket cart, have now after their recent victories in the English one day competition copped a fair amount of criticism for taking part in the CB40. Please read what Josh has to say in their favour. And don't forget, love your Associates.
