Our batsmen batted really well in the first innings to get 300+ score. Bowlers outplayed the opposition batsmen on a pacy wicket. We had something as a lead score to continue our second innings. That helped the team to win this game comfortably. More balanced combination that is.

Good win! We move up the points table I guess?

Graeme Pollock repaid the faith put in him despite a run of mediocre scores with a sublime hundred, his first of the season. He added 131 for the 3rd wicket alongside skipper Len Hutton, who made a triumphant return from injury with 91, and 77 with Everton Weekes, the other half-centurion in the Post-war XI lineup. They finished with 333 for their first innings.

A disciplined bowling effort from the Post-war XI saw the Early Test XI bowled out for 281, thus giving them a lead of 52 runs. Alan Davidson, with figures of 4 for 75 continued to pick up wickets with ridiculous ease like he has been doing all season.

Sir-Garfield-Sobers.jpg


Garry Sobers did not quite live up to the expectations during the first innings, where a scored a 5-ball duck despite batting at No 3 where he averages 72 in Test cricket. But he came back much better and stronger in the second innings with an unbeaten 170 off 326 balls during which he looked absolutely undismissable. It was also his highest ever LAB score and the first time he managed to cross 150 in an innings. With some good support from Graeme Pollock and Clyde Walcott, who scored two very brisk half-centuries, the Post-war XI had set their opponents a steep target of 467 with a day and a half to play in the match.

The Early Test XI tried another hard grind in their attempt to bat out a draw. For a while it worked, as the Post-war XI struggled to get past the resolute defence of Charles Bannerman and Arthur Shrewsbury. But with the bowling options they had available to them, it was only a matter of time before the other team folded. And so it proved when Lance Gibbs' dismissal of Shrewsbury spelled doom, and they lost their last 6 wickets for just 61 runs. Sobers himself managed a wicket to finish the match on a high with 170 runs and two tidy spells which earned him a total of 2 wickets across both innings.

Bart King bowled with all his heart to claim 5 for 55 from 28.1 overs in an innings where the rest of his team-mates were quite ruthlessly dominated by one man. He was also the one man King failed to dismiss despite giving it is very best efforts - Don Bradman.

It was yet another innings of pure brilliance from cricket's greatest ever batsman against a bowling attack containing Sydney Barnes, Hugh Trumble, Wilfred Rhodes and King himself. The Interwar XI finished with a huge lead of 215.

The Golden Age XI did enough to make the Interwar XI bat again in the Test. Once again, it was an American who stood head and shoulders above the rest while big names like Victor Trumper and Clem Hill failed to get going. George Patterson took to opening the batting against a world class bowling lineup like a duck to water, scoring 95 off 188 balls before being dismissed just five short of a deserved century. His effort raised a few questions - like why the ruddy hell was he benched this whole time? Nonetheless, the Interwar XI had a paltry 105 to chase which shouldn't be much trouble given the batting lineup they possess.

Don Bradman dominated the Golden Age XI's bowling attack once again, this time with a ruthless 45 off just 43 balls while he was in a hurry to finish the match for his team. For the Golden Age XI, Bart King once again ran in with all his heart despite the match being well and truly lost. He finished the match with 7 wickets to his name, which is no mean feat against a lineup containing all of Jack Hobbs, Herbert Sutcliffe, Don Bradman, George Headley, Wally Hammond and Charles Macartney among others. The Interwar XI prevailed by a considerable margin of 8 wickets and now find themselves tied on points (56) with the Post-war XI in the Season VIII standings, with only the Twenty20 Era XI (57) and Professional XI (64) ahead of them. Needless to say, the next round will be crucial for all the four teams in question as they attempt to make it to the top two and thus qualify for the timeless grand finale.

Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) in your XI.
2) A minimum of 4 players marked to bowl. I would suggest a minimum of 5 for matches on flat pitches to keep your frontline bowlers from total exhaustion.
3) Players ruled out due to injury cannot be selected.
5) The time limit for posting lineups is 96 hours. I will likely go with a random lineup if your lineup isn't posted within that time.
6) You must also ensure all your associate players (:pst:) get at least one game over the course of the main tournament.

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.

Explanation on pitch types

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.
Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
Green - A lot of movement on offer, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball.
Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way.
Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.

Don't know why my legends are not performing? 320 is achievable score in 2nd innings, really awful batting performance.
Steyn & ABD played well again. Time to take some strict decision.

Jack Hobbs broke the hoodoo that had seen him go century-less since Season VI with an innings of 175 that lasted nearly 400 balls. That too on a pacy wicket against the likes of Shane Bond, Dale Steyn, James Anderson, Mitchell Johnson and Jacques Kallis, against whom even the incomparable Don Bradman couldn't manage more than 54. The Interwar XI were looking good with a big first innings total of 419.

One could have noted that the Interwar XI had one too many spinners present in their XI on a pace-friendly Auckland wicket. But it didn't seem to matter with Clem Gibson picking 4 for 40, his best analysis of the season and being quite ably supported by part-time option Wally Hammond who was forced to open the bowling for his team. The Twenty20 Era XI managed 317, which could have been a lot less if not for Alastair Cook's stroke-filled 170 and Ricky Ponting's 76. Only four batsmen in their lineup reached double figures in the first innings, one of whom was a tailender. The Interwar XI finished with a healthy lead of 102.

The Twenty20 Era XI's pace quintet fared a lot better this time around. Shane Bond accounted for the first innings centurion Jack Hobbs in the very first over of the Interwar XI's innings, while Dale Steyn later took out Don Bradman for just 6. Mitchell Johnson picked 3 for 68 to add to his first innings five-fer, finishing the match just two short of the much desirable set of ten for the game. Nonetheless, the Interwar XI had done enough to set their opponents a very formidable target of 396 with nearly 5 sessions left to play in the match. The most sensible thing to do in such a situation would be to bat out for a draw, but it would see them finish just 1 point below the Interwar XI in the Season VIII standings and thus fall short of qualifying for the final. Nothing less than a miraculous victory will do for the Twenty20 Era XI from here if they are to qualify for the Season VIII final.

Wally Hammond, who played perhaps his best innings in a rather troubled season with the bat was a tad unfortunate to miss out of triple figures.

All hopes of a miraculous victory were dashed with the Twenty20 Era XI having been reduced to 167/7 and later 249/8, which left them little option but to bat for a draw instead. Luckily they had Kumar Sangakkara, he of the sizeable Test batting average of 57.40 coming in as low as No 7 in a lineup filled with batting greats. Sangakkara, with only tailenders Dale Steyn and Shane Bond for company, helped his team draw stalemate with the Interwar XI. There was still something to cheer about amidst the gloom, as he had managed to bring up a century shortly before the close of play on Day 5. So ends the Twenty20 Era XI's Season VIII campaign as a result of finishing just one point (66) short of the Interwar XI (67) at the end of this match. Nonetheless, a tremendous innings under a huge amount of pressure from an often under-rated but truly great player. The Interwar XI's chances of qualifying for the final will now depend on the results of the two matches remaining in the final round. A victory for the Professional XI who are basically guaranteed a final berth over the Early Test XI, and Golden Age XI over the Post-war XI should ideally be enough to see them through.

And so, a match that was initially touted as a battle between Don Bradman and Ricky Ponting, two of Australia's greatest ever batsmen, ended with two legendary English opening batsmen in Jack Hobbs and Alastair Cook gaining all the spotlight instead.
