Most Exciting Match Ever!

[Spoobir]

Speaks for itself...

Just a shame I was Australia.

 

[westindies2007]

yes thats a great match. but i feel for u. after a great batting performance you lost.

 

[Gunner786]

any chance of the full scorecard?

 

[cric_craze]

and its a world cup fnal........

 

[iloveireland]

Do u mean G.F. or semi final?

 

[M.Di Venuto]

the final. or g.f as u referred to it
if it was a semi, it would be called 'semi final' instead of 'final'

 

[Spoobir]

Here are the full scorecards.

I maybe should have bowled Clark or McGrath at the death, but they were both on rubbish form and Tait was my best bowler at the competition.

and yes it was the World Cup final...

 

[M.Di Venuto]

that was a decent last partnership! bit of a shame taity and bracks(?) couldnt break it

Most exciting match I've played in ICC3. I lost wickets are regular intervals during this chase, but got it down to 9 needed from the last over. Bracken hit 2 boundries and we got home. Hayden had an amazing 6 hundreds in 11 WC games, but failed in both the semis and finals (Aus still won the WC).

Nice but why not use screenies?

 

[khan31]

Did you type all of that out yourself? Must have taken ages! Why not just print screen the scorecard? It would have saved so much time. All the same, very close game. Pakistan seem to love their drama. To be honest, I can't seem to recall of any nailbiters. I have won by 1 wicket a few times, but well within the overs to do it in. Maybe I'm just too good to witness close finishes!

 

[lancashire666]

hes a noob and may not know how to post screenies yet

I'd imagine he just saved the scorecard to Notepad.

I drew with Pakistan (i was AUS) in the WC final and somehow won from a higher run-rate lol.
