Legends At Battle XI | And the champions are...

[Samuels]

There could not have been a more wrong time for any of our players to get injured. Dujon was the fulcrum between the late middle order and lower order on top of his excellent skills behind the wicket. Murray almost as influential too. Not only he was a brilliant keeper, he had a rare ability to stitch important partnerships with lower order batsmen/bowlers. Apart from the forced change, good ol' Haynes comes back in for Roy whose batting form has been on the slump. Expect some Haynes-Greenidge magic as they are back together once again. Kalli can bat against spinners and seamers with great aplomb which is not the case with Row. What is even more crucial is that will cover up any loopholes in the batting left by the forced exit of Dujon and the poor form of Roy and Rowe.

So, here it is then: Dujon (forced) and Roy out, Murray and Haynes in respectively.

Keith Miller was all smiles after finally getting a wicket in his 24th over. Murray walked back after a brilliant 106 which helped West Indies get past their deficit and muster a lead of over 50, something that looked unlikely after the fall of their seventh wicket.

We should've done better but Miller's flop form did us in. Well played Richards and surprise package Murray. 100+ lead is but that caption says 'respectable'. Sounds like our batsmen are going to play long second innings.

Don't be too sure of anything just yet. I deliberately post stuff like that to keep the managers guessing.

 

[Samuels]

Fantastic match so far. I am really looking forward to seeing the bowling figures of Maco and Stephenson (particularly with his deadly variation in pace) along with dead straight whispering death on a deteriorating wicket while Robets and Garner would rely on the twin bouncers and yorkers respectively.

Don't be too sure of anything just yet. I deliberately post stuff like that to keep the managers guessing.

I guess you were caught napping my comment and will start using confusing captions from now on.

Expecting more play tonight or tomorrow.

The 1948 Australians beat the mighty West Indies to the cup! Their skipper Don Bradman finally ended up with the LAB winners trophy after agonizingly missing out in both Seasons 3 & 4.

Despite a disastrous first innings, Keith Miller bounced back unbelievably well to end up with the Man of the Match award. His quickfire 92 coupled with a fiery second innings bowling spell turned the tables on a very strong West Indian side.

Australia B         362 & 380
West Indies A       466 & 188
  
Australia B won by 88 runs
 
Man of the match: Keith Miller
