Viv Richards was back to his best on a day when the West Indian quicks didn't quite dominate their opposition in the way they're used to. He was unlucky to miss out on a hundred in the first innings when the edged one onto his stumps, but made up for it with an even more domineering knock in the second innings. His quickfire 121 was good enough to even turn the usually aggressive Gordon Greenidge into a stonewaller. The pair did more than half the work for the West Indies who got themselves a semi-final berth by chasing down the 292 set by Australia.

Despite not doing much wrong other than running into Richards at his sublime best, Australia were eliminated from the competition. At least they won't have to head back home this time, because they're already there!

Australia A         291 & 297
West Indies A       297 & 293/6             
  
West Indies A won by 4 wickets
 
Man of the match: Viv Richards

 

[Aravind.]

Viv Richards was the difference,was expecting much more from our bowlers at the 2nd innings on a waca pitch,chasing almost 300 was never easy,maybe not picking warne back fired us.Thanks to @VC the slogger for this well presented league & @Umair2000 for having me as your co manager.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I will go with the same XI, thanks.

One change please. Denis Lindsay to come in place of Lee Irvine and will keep. He hasn't been that good with the bat as I expected and hence this forced change. Hopefully Barlow will come good this time round and so will all the other players with an all round performance!

Viv Richards was the difference,was expecting much more from our bowlers at the 2nd innings on a waca pitch,chasing almost 300 was never easy,maybe not picking warne back fired us.Thanks to @VC the slogger for this well presented league & @Umair2000 for having me as your co manager.

With due respect, Warne would have made little difference on a seamer's paradise. I think you missed the trick by not having an extra seam bowling option.

Holding is back for us just at the right time. Not only he will be a handful in the next match, he was no noob with the bat too giving us invaluable batting strength low down the order. Look at the number of sixes he has hit. He could bat good, good enough to save test matches upto a certain extent if the situation demanded but he never was put in that position which meant he would play for the crowd. Holding in for Croft. Croft is the unlucky one again despite good show. I have enough faith in Garner's allround skills.

Malcolm Marshall was at it again, dismissing the last two South African batsmen to give his team a thrilling win by just 4 runs and a final berth.

Clive Rice did everything humanely possible for his team but still ended up on the losing side. His 11 wickets coupled with a century that brought South Africa back from the dead during their run chase was quite easily the best performance of the season.

West Indies A       341 & 193
South Africa A      187 & 343
  
West Indies A won by 4 runs
 
Man of the match: Clive Rice

 

[Gaurav_7]

Aaaaaaahhhh! Very very frustrating and disappointing. A pat on the back for Clive Rice as that actually was the best performance one person can pull out in a losing cause. But, just 5 runs? I am stunned and very very very sad that this side is going out of the tournament. Well done all the players! Good luck to both the finalists, much deserved.

 

[Samuels]

I would say amazingly well done by the Proteas to amass 340+ in the fourth innings against the best pace attack ever. Take a bow, Clive Rice, take a bow.

 

[VC the slogger]

Take a bow, Clive Rice, take a bow.

I really wish he could have done so in real life too. Both him and Mike Procter. If only there was no apartheid..

They definitely had the class to rival the likes of Hadlee, Imran Khan, Botham, Kapil Dave etc. Probably Stephenson too.

 

[Ahmad94]

Just having a look through this stats and I must say, you have really nailed the rating for both the batsmen and the bowlers. Good Job mate, really does the legends some real justice.

Thanks.

I wasn't able to bring out the best in Sid Barnes the opener, Lee Irvine, Procter and probably even Bradman (pair + average of just 70!) to name a few, but I guess that's just cricket sometimes. The venues changing after every match and them having to acclimatize to a huge range of pitch conditions couldn't have made their job any easier. And it's not possible for everyone to strike form in a cricket tournament anyway, whether they be legends or not.

Final

Australia B v West Indies A at The MCG

- Very good conditions for batting. Although a predominantly pace friendly wicket, there's expected to be something on offer for spinners late in the game.
- Players unavailable: Jeff Dujon (WIA)


I've already got Australia's lineup, so I just need the West Indian one and we're good to go. Unfortunately, their main keeper just managed to get himself injured somehow on the eve of the game!
