2nd One-day International: Cricket Web XI vs New Zealand
at Fardin Qayyumi CC
Scorecard
Ball By Ball
Hosts have had a torrid time in fifty-over cricket at this ground this year; not so the Cricket Web XI, who overcame a lot of wobbles to complete a not-entirely convincing 93-run victory over a poor New Zealand side. A few good innings from key players, as well as a fair few wickets with the field up, was enough to give victory.
Pickup opted to bat first to assert dominance; it didn't work exactly as expected, with James Stedman hitting his first disappointing run of form in the greys. He was caught on three, but Cloete and Chaulk eased into the job of building a solid platform, gathering 105 before, somehow, Daniel Vettori joined the fray. Three cheap wickets send Cricket Web stuttering to 136 for four, and with Crampton run out shortly afterwards, things looked precarious. Yet, Chris Butler showed his class with a well-struck 76, in which he was in no danger, and with ample support from Liam Camps and Tom Halsey, the total stood at a respectable 267 for six.
The batsmen had reached a good result despite a few errors; the bowlers repeated this. Ryder was easily suckered, wafting outside off to a shorter one, while Rose's yorker was feebly fended back by How. When Camps was brought into the attack and got McCullum out for 20, it appeared as though the Webheads had done enough to stem the tide.
So it turned out; Fulton was simply not up to the ante in this match, scratching around for 55 while effectively falling too far behind the eight-ball, and the tourists collapsed in a heap to a not-particularly-well-bowling Halsey, who nevertheless reaped three for 42. Rose also polished things off, taking four wickets, but the Webheads will remain most pleased with their team batting effort.

3rd One-day International: Cricket Web XI vs New Zealand
at Pickford Reserve
Scorecard
Ball By Ball
In a strange game at the Pickford Reserve, Cricket Web XI eventually prevailed by 28 runs, despite a mad late charge by Jacob Oram which nearly took his team across the line. Poor lines from the seamers was punished, as was disappointing stuff from the Webhead openers, yet class won out in the end.
Michael Mason had James Stedman yorked in the first over, as the relative newcomer continued his poor form in the side. Ash Chaulk also played conspicuously, only managing 22 in 47 deliveries, a form which will surely worry the Black management ahead of the one-day final. Yet, Cricket Web XI recovered well - Martin and Oram relieved pressure as change bowlers, and though Vettori found some threat, he went over the top in his excitement and was easily punished by a rampant Cloete. Butler and Crampton put on a healthy stand of 93 to ensure a good total, before Crampton lashed out at the end to make a respectable 65 not out.
Defending 264 without the strike bowler, however, was tricky. Camps was promoted to new ball duties for the first time in quite a while, but didn't prove proficient in the role, as McCullum took charge. However, Pickup gambled on bringing in the spinners early, and Halsey and himself wrought control of the innings as New Zealand crashed to 96 for four.
Fulton and Sinclair rebuilt, but were held back by the turn, which meant missed shots were frequent. Oram came in at 151, doing his job well enough, but with ten overs to go New Zealand required 61 on a slow wicket. Pickup bowled the forty-first, taking his third wicket as Cloete plucked a ball from Sinclair with ease, and Vettori was easily tied down. Then two awful slogs from Mills and Mason brought proceedings to a close...or not. Martin missed a ball outside off, and Oram exploited Butler's second over, bashing twenty runs. Suddenly, only 37 was required.
Clapham replaced Pickup, and bowled to Martin for most of the over, thus only conceding two; it was, however, experience that sealed the matter, as Camps had Oram caught to end the game and seal the 3-0 series win.
