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.

Final
Australia v England at The MCG (2010s)
- Pitch:
- Players injured/unavailable: Charlie Turner (1 match)
@The Deadman @Quadralus
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 ) > > >

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.

15Explanation 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.*gulp*

Legends At Battle Season X
Final (timeless Test)
at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (2010s)
Toss: England won the toss and chose to bat
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:

(12th man)Day 1
Day 1
ENGLAND 1st innings
Glenn McGrath drew first blood for the Australians by removing KS Ranjitsinhji, who looked far from comfortable in an unfamiliar role as an opener.
England would suffer no further loss until the Lunch interval with Jack Hobbs and Ken Barrington looking rock solid out in the middle.
Lunch, Day 1
Hobbs went into attack mode after Lunch, striking boundaries aplenty (including three in an over off Benaud) to bring up his half-century.
Ken Barrington broke a sequence which had seen him score just 1 run off 41 deliveries between the 39th and 53rd over by striking Hugh Trumble for six. He brought up fifty in the next over as the Tea interval loomed.
Hobbs couldn't make it to the Tea interval however. He lost his wicket by edging behind off a charged up Dennis Lillee to depart on 62.
English skipper Wally Hammond wasted no time in acclimatizing himself by striking boundaries from the get-go. England went into Tea at a respectable 141/2.
Tea, Day 1
The batsmen looked in complete control with Hammond dominating his way to a very well-paced half-century and Barrington nearing in on a century.
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.

Day 2
ENGLAND 1st innings (253/2 overnight)
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.
England went into the Lunch interval with the score at 358/5 and Ken Barrington remaining firmly rooted on 149.
Lunch, Day 2
Barrington went past 150 with a boundary off Dennis Lillee. Despite having batted for nearly 350 deliveries, he was showing no signs of wanting to get out anytime soon.
"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.
Australia trail by 428 runs.
AUSTRALIA 1st innings
Victor Trumper and Arthur Morris had 5 uncomfortable overs to bat until the Tea interval was called.
Tea, Day 2
Trumper didn't survive very long once play resumed, with his Golden Age nemesis Sydney Barnes trapping him lbw to bring up England's first wicket. Out walked 'The Don'.
Don Bradman was off to a rollicking start much to the delight of the home crowd.
He raced to a half-century at nearly a run-a-ball without really looking to hit out. Such was his dominance over England's bowlers; Graeme Swann in particular as he was carted for 40 off his first 5 overs.
Australia ended the day on 126/1 with both Don Bradman and his Invincibles' deputy Arthur Morris looking in good form on 58 and 45 respectively. The pair had helped reduce Australia's deficit by a good 100 runs after Trumper's early dismissal and will want to capitalize on it the next day.

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.

Day 3
Day 3
AUSTRALIA 1st innings (126/1 overnight)
Arthur Morris brought up his fifty early morning on the third day, but was dismissed by Graeme Swann soon after. He was only able to add six runs to his overnight score.
And then Don Bradman, the man who appeared most likely to play a big innings was claimed by James Anderson.
He was gone for 64 off 98 balls after looking unusually circumspect early in the morning against bowlers he had so ruthlessly dominated the previous day.
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.
Lunch, Day 3
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.
Australia trail by 224 runs.
AUSTRALIA 2nd innings (Follow on)
With the match being 'timeless', there seemed to be little point in trying to bat out a draw at this stage. And so, the two Australian openers Arthur Morris and Victor Trumper decided to take on the English bowling from the word go.
The approach initially appeared to pay off until they ran into Alec Bedser, who got Morris to nick behind on 21. Don Bradman was made to walk out very early once again.
While Bradman took his time to settle, Victor Trumper was starting to look absolutely irresistible with the bat.
Seeing these two legendary batsmen in full flow was a sight to behold for both spectators and opponents alike. Trumper brought up a fairly quick 78-ball fifty as the Tea interval approached.
Tea, Day 3
There was no place to hide for the English bowlers as Trumper and Bradman brought up their century partnership for the 2nd wicket with the latter also bringing up fifty in the process. Australia's deficit had now been reduced to double figures.
The deficit went below 50 with Bradman brutalizing Sydney Barnes, considered by many to be the greatest pace bowler of all time.
Trumper couldn't survive until the end of the day however. His wonderful little knock was ended 17 short of a century with Graeme Swann delivering an absolute peach to break a very entertaining 143-run stand between the two greatest batsmen ever produced by Australia.
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.

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.

c. Hobbs b. BedserAustralia'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.

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.

Day 4
Day 4
AUSTRALIA 2nd innings (Follow on; 221/2 overnight)
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.
Australia were finally on the lead.
Steven Smith failed to make the most of his good start, falling victim to Sydney Barnes for the second time in the match. The latter had his 46th wicket of the season; just four more to go..
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.
Lunch, Day 4
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.
Border took the lead past 200 before being dismissed by Alec Bedser for a well played 71. Next in was Adam Gilchrist.
In spite of his first innings failure, Adam Gilchrist walked out with the same attacking mindset and began finding the fence as if it were his birthright. With that, Tea was called.
Tea, Day 4
The advent of Gilchrist had seen the lead skyrocket past 250 and close in on 300 as he raced to a half-century at better than a run-a-ball. Australia, who had just crossed the 500-run mark were definitely favorites now.
The lead went past 300 as Gilchrist continued to inflict his carnage upon James Anderson and Alec Bedser, two of England's most prolific Test wicket-takers.
It took him just 84 balls to bring up his century - easily the fastest for the season. Richie Benaud at the other end was reduced to little more than a spectator.
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.
Australia ended the day just five short of a total of 600 and a lead of 371 with Hugh Trumble and Fred Spofforth at the crease. Needless to say, this day's play has completely changed the complexion of the match.

Day 5
Day 5
AUSTRALIA 2nd innings (Follow on; 595/8 overnight)
Hugh Trumble showcased his batting prowess by smashing the first ball of the day's play by Sydney Barnes for four to bring up Australia's 600.
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.
England need 402 runs to win.
ENGLAND 2nd innings (Target: 402)
KS Ranjitsinhji once again looked out of sorts opening the batting, but his partner Jack Hobbs was off to a fairly good start.
England went into the Lunch interval decently poised at 47/0. Still a long, long way to go though.
Lunch, Day 5
KS Ranjitsinhji appeared to be slowly growing in confidence when play resumed after Lunch. Sometimes, a bit of hot food in the belly can do wonders.
But not this time. An ill-advised cut shot off Richie Benaud brought about his downfall for 27 and he ended up wasting yet another good start in the competition.
Hobbs brought up his fifty in style by charging down the wicket to smash Dennis Lillee over his head for six. England's deficit had now gone below 300.
England went into Tea needing another 279 runs for victory with Hobbs looking very good on 62 and first innings hero Ken Barrington by his side.
Tea, Day 5
Shortly after the Tea break, Hugh Trumble got Australia the wicket they needed, that of Hobbs for 62. Next in was skipper Wally Hammond.
Just like the first innings, Ken Barrington and Wally Hammond went about their business in ice cool fashion. England's deficit had gone below 250 now and Australia were beginning to sweat just a little.
Ken Barrington notched up fifty again and was starting to look as undismissable as in the first innings where he scored an unbeaten 181.
Except this time, he was pulverizing the bowlers to all parts. England's deficit went below 200 in almost no time and the pressure was back on Australia.
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.

England ended the day needing another 175 runs to win with 7 wickets in hand, with Hammond and Gower still out in the middle.

Day 6
Day 6
ENGLAND 2nd innings (Target: 402; 226/3 overnight)
Dennis Lillee, who claimed the wicket of Ken Barrington off the last over of Day 5, struck an equally earth shattering blow in the early morning of Day 6 by removing English skipper Wally Hammond for 29. England's two best batsmen for the match were both back in the pavillion.
Frank Woolley didn't last very long either. England had now lost half their side.
Neither did the elegant David Gower. Richie Benaud was bowling Australia to an almost certain victory in this final.
Alan Knott's steely determination took them to Lunch without any further loss. He had Alec Bedser, a bowler capable of holding his own with the willow for company. But with 113 runs still needed, an English victory appeared unlikely.
Lunch, Day 6
The slide continued after Lunch with Bedser falling victim to Hugh Trumble's nagging offbreaks for 17. Australia were now only three wickets away from what will be nothing short of a sensational victory.
Make that two. Alan Knott, who offered the last bit of resistance for England was out for 29.
Trumble picked his fourth of the innings as England were down to their last man with 79 to get.
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).
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.
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.

-X-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).
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.
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.

Ten seasons, each of them something different. Solid effort.

Thanks. Might try something involving associate legends for the next one if/when I run it.

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Happy to serve as a non-Test player digger-upper if needed. I hope that such a competition would include players who represented Test nations before they played Test cricket: I love the idea of Duncan Fletcher steaming in to bowl at Minhajul Abedin in a LAB contest nearly as much as I enjoy the thought of just how badly Mike Procter would clean up at that level.
