Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) 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

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

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


:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: 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.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: 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.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: 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.

Having been sent in to bat on a terrible 1890s wicket, England were set back in the very first over where they lost skipper WG Grace to Fazal Mahmood for nought. They had been reduced to a dismal 57/6 and might not have reached three figures if not for the 44-run partnership between Wally Hammond and Frank Woolley for the 7th wicket; they eventually posted 133. The former stayed true to his reputation as England's most reliable batsman by posting the only score above 20 in their top seven.

Batting continued to be a struggle for both sides with Pakistan faring only marginally better than England to post 163 and thereby muster a slender 30-run first innings lead. Inzamam-ul-Haq was the only player to make it past 30 in their innings.

Thanks to the belligerent Frank Woolley, England managed to set Pakistan a fairly challenging target of 235. Having walked in to bat at No 8 with Yasir Shah and Abdul Qadir running amok with their sharply turning leg breaks, he smashed his way to 61 off just 70 balls to register the first half-century of the match and was quite ably supported by Alan Knott with whom he added 86 runs for the 7th wicket. His game-changing innings had given England a glimmer of hope as batting last on this pitch is by no means an easy task for any team.

Pakistan certainly looked the part whilst Hanif Mohammad and Javed Miandad were batting together, but fell apart after their 63-run stand was broken by James Anderson. Anderson, who was recently crowned as Test cricket's most prolific pace bowler, claimed 5 for 19 off 11 overs in an awe-inspiring spell, that with some help from Graeme Swann bowled England to their first LAB final since Season III. Pakistan, the champions of the inaugural season and previous season's finalists were knocked out despite playing some breathtaking cricket over the course of the tournament. The Season X final at the iconic MCG shall be contested between Australia and England, the two nations that began Test cricket and have since formed one of sport's oldest ever rivalries - The Ashes.

@The Deadman @Quadralus


Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) 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

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

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


:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: 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.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: 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.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: 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.

Toss: England won the toss and chose to bat


sugtm3q.jpg


Don Bradman and Wally Hammond, the two greatest batsmen produced by their respective countries walked out for the toss in this all-Ashes final, the first such instance since Season III where England prevailed by a narrow 36-run margin. It was Hammond who prevailed over his great rival on this occasion and decided to bat first as any captain would after one glance at the flat MCG surface. The two teams lineup up as follows:

Glenn McGrath drew first blood for the Australians by removing KS Ranjitsinhji, who looked far from comfortable in an unfamiliar role as an opener.

Barrington brought up his century - his fourth of the season off the penultimate over of the Day. He finished unbeaten on 101 off 248 balls alongside Hammond, who was batting on 79 off 112 balls. England dominated throughout to finish on 253/2 and would now fancy their chances of reaching a first innings total in excess of 450 when play resumes on Day 2.

Wally Hammond and Ken Barrington continued their dominance over the Australian bowlers early on the second day of the Test match. Hammond brought up a 144-ball century by striking Hugh Trumble down the ground for four. It was his third of the season and took him level with his Australian rival Bradman, though at a much inferior season batting average of 58.09 as of this innings compared to the latter's 93.78 from three fewer innings.

Hugh Trumble appeared mighty relieved at getting rid of Hammond for 122 thanks to a fine catch from Victor Trumper. After having toiled for 53.1 overs and conceded 219 runs, Australia finally had a breakthrough.

Richie Benaud joined in on the act and nabbed two in the very next over - David Gower for 1 and Frank Woolley for 0. England, who were in a nigh impregnable position just an over before were now suffering a mini-collapse of sorts.

"For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever..." England lost a few more wickets in the form of Alan Knott and Alec Bedser, and yet Barrington remained out there still. There seemed to be nothing Australia could do except try their luck with the batsmen at the other end.

That's exactly what they did as Glenn McGrath finally brought England's first innings to a close on 428 by dismissing James Anderson and Sydney Barnes in quick succession. Barrington remained unbeaten on 181 off a staggering 414 balls in what was one of the grittiest batting displays in LAB history. Australia might have Bradman in their ranks, but that will be one tough act to follow.

Sydney Barnes removed Steve Smith, Australia's second most prolific batsman in the competition after Bradman for just 1. In doing so, he had taken his wickets tally for the competition to a staggering 45 from 8 matches, leaving him just five short of an unprecedented 50-wicket season - a feat no player has ever accomplished in 10 seasons of LAB. The most wickets in season remains 49 by Shaun Pollock in Season II, and Barnes himself in Season VI.

Richie Benaud was bowled for a duck by Graeme Swann, and it was all starting to fall apart for Australia. They still need another 80 runs to avoid the ignominy of a follow-on.

Adam Gilchrist came out to bat with positive intent despite his team's position and his own form struggles, but it didn't quite pay off this time. It was just one of those tournaments where nothing seemed to go right for him.

At this rate, it appeared unlikely that they would even make it past Ken Barrington's personal score of 181. England were well and truly ripping them to shreds.

Thanks to Allan Border, they managed to avoid the humiliation of finishing below Barrington's 181. They still need 47 more to avoid the follow-on.

But that was about as good as it got. Border was dismissed by Swann, who claimed his fifth wicket of the innings - a very impressive comeback after being carted for 43 off his 6 overs the previous day. Australia went into Lunch at 9/200 with only Fred Spofforth and Glenn McGrath remaining and still 28 runs short of avoiding the follow-on. They had lost 8 wickets for the addition of only 74 runs after starting the day well poised at 126/1 in what was a truly shambolic display of batting.

Australia's innings ended shortly after Lunch on 204 with Fred Spofforth falling victim to Alec Bedser's impeccable line and length. Despite only 2 wickets to his name, he was arguably the toughest English bowler Australia encountered in their first innings as shown by figures of 15-8-20-2. Australia, who were 224 runs in arrears at the end of a dismal first innings were forced to follow-on by Wally Hammond.

Day 3 ended on a somewhat frustrating note with Don Bradman stranded on 99. The spectators in attendance would have to wait another day to see him lift his bat for the umpteenth time. Australia were just 3 runs short of clearing their deficit with 8 wickets still in hand. There's still a long way yet to go in the match, but thanks to Trumper and Bradman they now have a glimmer of hope where there was previously none.

Don Bradman reached his century off the third ball of the day's play much to the delight of the crowd who were made to wait a whole day for this moment. This took him on par with Ken Barrington and Sachin Tendulkar with 4 centuries for the season, though his batting average of 100.80 as of this innings was far superior to either of them. Earlier during his knock, he had become the first batsman since Season IV to bring up 1000 runs for a season - a feat all the more impressive considering the overall contraction in length of LAB seasons starting from Season V.

Bradman notched up his 150 as the Australian lead simultaneously crossed 100. With Allan Border also finding his feet at the other end, things were looking pretty grim for the English. It didn't help that they continued to let their chances slip, with Bedser dropping a fairly straightforward chance off Hammond and giving Bradman a reprieve on 141.

England's luck had all but run out as Australia went into Lunch with a lead of 115 with Bradman on 155 and Border on 38. That with the likes of Benaud, Gilchrist and Trumble who's proved himself a more than decent bat in this competition still to come.

Allan Border brought up fifty off 78 balls as the lead neared 150. Historically, anything above 240 is a pretty tricky ask at this venue. England desperately need a breakthrough and quick.

Their prayers were finally answered when Bradman lofted one straight back into the hands of Graeme Swann to be dismissed just two short of a double century. It was the end of one of the greatest rearguards in this league's 10-season history and one that has certainly put Australia in a position where they can actually push for an unexpected victory if their lower-order could put up a few decent contributions.

It fell upon Sydney Barnes once again to get the much needed breakthroughs for England, which he did by removing both Benaud and Gilchrist to take his tally to 48 wickets for the season. But by now one could say it was too little and too late; no team has ever successfully chased more than 332 at the MCG.

Sydney Barnes soon had wicket no 49 when he dismissed Fred Spofforth to flush out Australia's last man, Glenn McGrath. He was now level with Shaun Pollock from Season II and himself from Season VI, and needed just one more to become the first man in history to claim 50 wickets in an LAB season.

For a man of his slender build, Hugh Trumble sure knew how to strike them a long way. He brought up what was incredibly the first six of the Australian innings. The lead was now approaching 400.

Barnes got McGrath to nick behind for what should have been a record 50th wicket for the season, but for KS Ranjitsinhji to drop the simplest of chances at slip. Needless to say, he was left fuming.

James Anderson got McGrath in the very next over, leaving Barnes on 49 - the same as his Season VI haul and Shaun Pollock's Season II haul. It was the nearest of near misses, as Australia set England a daunting target of 402. No team has ever chased more than 332 at the MCG, but then again no team has ever won a match after following on in LAB's 10-season history. Whatever happens next is bound to go down in history as a first.

But disaster struck for England in the last over of the day's play, where Barrington was trapped lbw by Dennis Lillee for 93 - thereby causing him to miss out on two centuries for the match by only 7 runs. But nevertheless, he had scored a total of 274 runs for the match, which was more than Don Bradman's 262. England ended the day needing another 175 runs to win with 7 wickets in hand, with Hammond and Gower still out in the middle.

Richie Benaud finished the game by removing Sydney Barnes for nought. And that was that. Australia, who emerged victorious by 78 runs became the first team in LAB history to win a match after being forced to follow-on.

This was Australia's second LAB title overall, and the first since Don Bradman's 'Invincibles' triumphed over Clive Lloyd's West Indians in the Season V final. And they owed it all to that man Bradman, who helped stage perhaps the greatest come from behind victory in LAB history by scoring 198 and helping Australia set England a target of 402 despite being forced to follow-on. Bradman was also declared Player of the Season for his 1106 runs at an average of 100.55 from 7 matches in the competition - more than 300 runs clear of the next best i.e Ken Barrington's 801 runs at 72.82 from 8 matches, and became the first batsman since Season IV (back when LAB had much longer seasons and more matches per team) to score more than 1000 runs in a season. This was also the first instance of him averaging in excess of 100 runs per innings in a season, thereby truly living up to his billing as a batsman unparalleled and not one who merely averages in the high 70s or 80s as he had done on a regular basis over the last 9 seasons (which was still a shade better than everyone else).

Syd-Barnes.jpg


Sydney Barnes, who claimed 49 wickets at an awe-inspiring average of 17.88 from only 8 matches could consider himself hard done by to miss out on Player of the Season to Bradman. He had equalled the record set by himself in Season VI and by Shaun Pollock in Season II for the most wickets in a LAB season, and could have become the first man in history to claim 50 wickets had it not been for a dropped catch off his bowling. Nevertheless, those are some stunning figures worthy of a thunderous applause.

7XLXEPp.jpg


But while Bradman claimed Player of the Season and could also lay claim on Player of the Match for his second innings rearguard, that honor was eventually bestowed upon Ken Barrington - a man who did what few mortals have ever managed before i.e outscore Bradman in a match where the latter scored a century. Barrington scored an epic 414-ball 181 in the first innings to grind the Australian bowlers to dust and backed it up with a far more aggressive 93 off 148 balls in the second innings to finish the match with a mind-boggling 274 runs - 12 more than Bradman's 262. He also finished second on the season's run charts to Bradman, scoring 801 runs at an average of 72.82 with 4 centuries and could consider himself a tad unfortunate to miss out on a winners' medal despite his tremendous efforts.
