Btw @VC the slogger if a team in the knockout stage draws a match then,how does it qualify? By bonus points?

First innings is taken into account for the semis/playoffs. The final is a 'timeless' Test i.e up to 9 days in length, so chances of a draw are unlikely.

Hugh Tayfield made good use of the spin-friendly SCG surface and consistently troubled the Australian batsman on his way to a five-fer. They finished with a total of 337, slightly below what was expected after a strong start at the top from Arthur Morris.

South Africa could only muster a 2-run lead despite some good batting from Barry Richards and AB de Villiers. Richie Benaud and Hugh Trumble bowled very impressively in tandem, claiming more than half the South African lineup.

The match appeared headed for a draw with Australia only declaring shortly before lunch on the 5th day. Nevertheless, Don Bradman scored his first century of the season and Hugh Tayfield added five more wickets to his tally to take his match haul to ten - two very fine individual achievements.

Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (//) 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

- Elite/Legend. Used for the players that are undoubtedly the best of the lot.
- Ruby. Used for players that are extremely talented and can play in a way no one else can replicate.
- Gold. Used for players with a high level of consistency and ability to deliver during key moments.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: > / ( marginally better than ) > > >

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

Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
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 early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
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.
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.

The bowling was good in both the innings
And as expected Kohli and Sachin were great
Same lineup for next game

We're probably not going to defeat a full-strength Windies, so might as well give our second-string bowlers a run-out. Probably not looking at a winning team here, but we do bat deep.
