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

[Gaurav_7]

When the first innings goes into day 4 a draw is always on the cards. It was a flat wicket, so couldn't really do much. Still very happy to be undefeated so far. We need to get the wins under our belt so next one hopefully will be better.

 

[themusketeer]

Fantastic effort from Our batsmen on a flat track. Kevin topped the score with his brilliant Double century. Hammond also scored his century. Sad Hutton couldn't complete his century.
Mortensen was terrific in both innings, bagging 7 wickets.

If he was difficult to play in the first innings, he was absolutely unplayable in the second. Barnes finished with an astonishing haul of 8 for 19 from his 16 overs to finish the match with awe-inspiring figures of 35.5-10-50-15. They were easily the best in the history of the league.

Despite Aitchison's struggle, the run chase was way too easy for the Europeans. They may well have booked themselves a berth in the final with this clinical performance. South America on the other hand finished winless in a disastrous campaign.

Cheers lads

Fantastic and one of the true one man army type performance. Barnes totally destroyed the Americans. 7 wickets in 1st and then 8 in 2nd innings. We cant ignore Ken's performance on this type of pitch when everyone struggled he and Hutton kept going.
Good to see us performing like this.

I apologize for the inactivity here. Most of my limited free time has been occupied by calculating stats for Cricket Dynasty and the PCPL, and then re-watching some old movies for no apparent reason. I will get back to this when I'm done with either one of those.

Oceania's top and middle orders failed to get going once again. A much welcome half-century from Shane Warne helped get their lead past 200. Asia were given 216 to chase with the best part of three sessions remaining in the match.

Glenn McGrath gave them a few jitters along with way with what was probably his best spell of a dreadful season with the ball.

However, McGrath and the Oceanians were eventually thwarted in their efforts by a resilient Rahul Dravid, who remained unbeaten on 91 to guide Asia to victory and quite possibly a place in the final (depending on how the next match goes).

Oceania             407 & 320
Asia                512 & 219/8            
 
Asia won by 2 wickets

Man of the match: Imran Khan (Asia)

Points

Asia - 22 (Win - 16, Batting - 3, Bowling - 3)
Oceania - 7 (Loss - 0, Batting - 5, Bowling - 2)

The Africans went through North America's top-order cheaply, only to run into Brian Lara and Garry Sobers at their absolute best. The legendary left-handed pair added 193 for the 4th wicket in quick time, before Lara was dismissed just four short of a century. The North American tail wagged enough to get them a slender 11-run first innings lead.

This was the part where they pounced to bowl out their opposition for an under-par score. Africa were collectively dismantled for 208 with all of the North American bowlers chipping in with a wicket or two. Barry Richards and Graeme Smith were the only batsmen to make it past 20.
