Story Mini Test Championship

[tomcress2000]

A mini test championship has been arranged with the following teams taking part: Australia, England, India & Pakistan. The matches will be held all around the world with the top 2 teams playing off in a final held in Australia.

Australia will be the favourites but the competition for second place will be very interesting, although I expect/hope England to do well. All matches will be played out in full (no autoplaying) with the first match taking place later in the week. I will be using a modified patch which I created, !xspeed (running as fast as it well let me), Boss's new rosters & Sams no runout.exe. It will be interesting to see how the cpu plays and how realistic (or not) the games turn out to be.

The first match will be England v Pakistan. Look out for later in the week for updates on the first match of this tournament.

The first match is underway Pakistan won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first on a green pitch. After 50 odd overs the decision is looking a good one as a wonderful partnership between Inzaman and Yasir Hameed has developed. Stay tuned for further updates.

Pakistan innings is over after a dramatic collapse and fantastic bowling from Harmison and Flintoff. Yasir Hameed played a wonderful innings scoring 177 off only 198 balls, Inzaman also played a brilliant innings scoring 118.

Once Inzaman fell, playing a dissapointing slog and being caught in the deep, 9 wickets fell for 62 runs as Harmison produced some unplayable bowling. No other batsman managed double figures.

Despite the collapse 357 is still a good total on this pitch with the ball swinging large amounts England will have to bat very well to stay in this game.

Englans bowling figures

England have batted themselves into a good position in the first game of the Mini Test Championship. Michael Vaughan was back to his best with 183 as England moved into an 80 run lead.

England have won the match by 9 wickets after a sensational bowling display on the 4th day. Pakistan collapsed to 165 all out with Mathew Hoggard picking up 4 wickets. With only 89 runs needed for victory England cruised to victory.

Pakistan will be feeling pretty dissapointed especially after being 290-1 just after tea on day 1. Apart from Inzaman and Yaseer Hamed the Pakistan batsmen really struggled against the English bowlers.

Michael Vaughan was named man of the match.

MINI TEST CHAMPIONSHIP
Match: INDIA V ENGLAND
Location: CAIRNS
Pitch: WET

England have won the toss and elected to bowl on a wet pitch. Batting will be difficult and any score over 200 will begood. England will be confident, fresh from there convincing victory over Pakistan.

Although early stages in the competition another victory for England will put them in a great postion. Updates to follow shortly on how India have batted.

 

[tomcress2000]

India have secured victory in the second match of the Mini Test Championship. They looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory but Geraint Jones played a remakable innings scoring 209 off 172 balls but it was not quite enough as England fell 32 runs short of the victory.

I left this match playing, as Ive been out most of the day, so I have no screenshots from the game im afraid but I couldnt believe when I checked the scorecard and Jones performance.
