Player rarities

In each squad, players have been marked with these icons to give you a fair idea of their playing skills and overall usefulness to your team.

:purpo: - Legend. Used for the players that are undoubtedly the best of the lot.
:goldo: - Gold. Used for players with a high level of consistency and ability to deliver during key moments.
:redo: - Ruby. Used for players that are extremely talented and can play in a way no one else can replicate.
: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.
:blueo: - Sapphire/Crystal. Used for players that are halfway between Bronze and Silver. They are more likely to put in good performances than players from the Bronze category.
:bro: - Bronze. 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.

That 6th wicket stand cost us the match. Our bowlers and the middle order weren't effective enough.

Geoffrey Rawson played an extraordinary innings to win the match for us. He was the game changer in that match. Even though his partners in the other end were getting out, he stood patiently and played a memorable knock. Bowling unit also clicked and we did a fine job to restrict them. Hope we perform the same way in the next match against the Windies. Going with the same team.

Dutch is going down and down. Our batsmen gave us a good enough score but our bowlers weren't able to contain them. Its getting hard to keep up my faith in Dutch team. :(

Don Bradman's debut was completely overshadowed by Jack Ryder who went on to smash the fastest century in the Olympics Games' history off just 72 balls. Australia finished with a massive total of 316/6.
