Only two New Zealanders could make it past 30 with Muttiah Muralitharan bowling better than ever. John Reid looked the most comfortable of the lot with 40 off 66 balls, standing head and shoulders above his team-mates when the going got tough as he had done so often during his career.

A gritty 43 from Arjuna Ranatunga helped Sri Lanka muster a 39-run lead over their hosts. Richard Hadlee emerged the highest wicket-taker for New Zealand in the innings with 4 for 54 despite being demoted to a change bowler.

Centuries from Jack Hobbs and Ken Barrington buried them under a huge lead of 543. With a little more than a day remaining in the Test, their best hope was to bat for a draw.

Pakistan replied with an impressive 420, after having been reduced to 306/8 at one stage. Their captain Imran Khan led a fearless charge in the lower-order with only tailenders to keep him company and scored a century. His effort inspired Sarfraz Nawaz at No 10 to score a fifty of his own.

You can't have a Test match at the Eden Gardens without Rahul Dravid raising his bat at least once. He did just that, putting behind a first innings golden duck to score 128 off 246 balls. Sachin Tendulkar, with whom he added 195 runs for the 3rd wicket recorded his second century of the match. But India's approach was rather conservative with them taking all means to avoid defeat rather than push for a victory. It showed in their late declaration which came only in the early hours of the 5th day's play, leaving Pakistan a 352-run target but with a little more than two sessions remaining in the match.

A creditable performance from Ireland there; for a good while we roughly matched England and we learned a lot about the team

That 9th wicket partnership was the turning point
Maybe the bowling could have been better

@Quadralus @El Loco



Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) in your XI.
2) A minimum of 5 players marked to bowl (up to 6 on very flat pitches where part-time options often need to share the workload).
3) Players ruled out due to injury cannot be selected.
4) The time limit for posting lineups is 72 hours. I will likely go with a random lineup if your lineup isn't posted within that time.
5) Teams with 15 squad members must give all their players a game over the course of the tournament (warm-ups don't count). For teams with 18 squad members, a minimum of 15 players must get a game.

Player rarities

:purpo: - Elite/Legend. Used for the players that are undoubtedly the best of the lot.
:redo: - Ruby. Used for players that are extremely talented and can play in a way no one else can replicate.
:goldo: - Gold. Used for players with a high level of consistency and ability to deliver during key moments.
:slvo: - Silver. Used for players that aren't as talented as their Gold/Ruby/Legend contemporaries, but still capable of holding their own against the best in business.
:bro: - Bronze. Used for players that are a level below Silver. They are more likely to put in good performances than players from the Sapphire/Crystal category.
:blueo: - Sapphire/Crystal. Used for players that are inexperienced or with a lower skill set compared to those from a higher category. They could either put in good performances or fail miserably.

In other words: :purpo: > :redo:/:goldo: (:redo: marginally better than :goldo:) > :slvo: > :bro: > :blueo:

Also, the squads selected thus far are sorted in the following order:

Opening batsman (1-2)
Top-order (3-4)
Middle-order (4-7)
Lower-order (7-8)
Tailenders pace (9-11)
Tailanders spin (9-11)

Explanation on pitch types

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 2 an over.
