A 143 run lead is simply brilliant! That's more than three-fourth of their score. 2 Days to go. Hopefully we can get them out on time, and T20 out the remaining runs :p

Alot was expected from Keith Miller but he chopped the ball onto his stumps off the very first delivery he faced and had to walk back to the pavillion for a golden duck. Now it was all up to Bradman and Wisden XI's capable tailenders to set the Barracudas a challenging total to chase.

Barracudas need 190 to lift the cup. I don't expect it to be easy with the bowling lineup Wisden XI have. The chase for the cup will be posted later.

190 to win. Could be a real task if Wisden's bowling is even close to what they're on paper. Upto the batters now. C'mon boys, show 'em what we've got!

I think this'll be an easy victory for the Barracudas , Wisden XI's bowling is strong but Barracudas' batting is strong too . What a magnificent final this has turn into be ! :clap

Hobbs got going straightaway hitting his first ball, a half-volley in the mid 140s on the off stump line, for four. On the other hand, things began poorly for Wisden XI as their keeper Clyde Walcott gave Boycott the reprieve when the latter hadn't even opened his account.

Fred Spofforth bowled a deadly yorker out of nowhere to bowl out Hobbs for 62. With the target less than 100 runs away at this stage, it might have been a little too late for Wisden XI. Hobbs was applauded by the crowd all the way back to the pavillion in recognition of his fine effort.

Patsy Hendren and WG Grace brought the deficit below 50 and entertained the crowd with their classy strokeplay. Their 52-run partnership lasted till a horrible decision by the umpire saw Grace's innings of 45 come to a premature end.

Ray Lindwall won the Man of the Match award for his 9 wickets which drove Wisden XI over to the edge until they eventually fell off the cliff. He joined his team-mates who went on a celebratory lap of honor across the Lord's outfield.

That was good batting by the team there! Lindwall truly deserved the Man of the match trophy. Great to be a part of this leagues and to win it.

That keeps my 100% Record at play offs intact! :D
