Victor Trumper

Clem Hill
Archie MacLaren
Billy Murdoch
Bart King
Bobby Peel
George Lohmann
JJ Ferris
Fred Spofforth

Bobby Peel in for the injured Turner. I can't see many sides get past Spofforth and Lohmann on their favourite kind of wicket. A shame not to win that last game, but it was the best balanced Test side of all time

Close match it was.. We need to show ourselves worthy on batting too..

Ian Redpath
Rod Marsh +
Ian Chappell *
G Chappell ^
Doug Walters ^
Border ^
Gary Gilmour ^
Dennis Lille ^
Jeff Thompson ^
Max Walker ^
Rodney Hogg ^

Going with seam studded lineup, since we'll be playing at the WACA, Perth. We hopefully can dominate any strong batting lineup with this sort of bowling lineup.

The West Indians drew the match by the skin of their teeth thanks to the renowned rabbit Lance Gibbs surviving three deliveries from the fast and furious Imran. It was fitting for Gibbs who was made to toil for as many as 80 overs in the match for the grand total of 4 wickets.

Wes Hall too was made to bowl as many as 65 overs in the match, including 44 in the first innings. He made the most of it with a 7-wicket haul.

Everyone played his part. That was an awesome century by Mudassar Nazar, however, I feel that we should've taken that last wicket. But I still think that we played brilliant cricket and the West Indies drew this match dramatically..... Kudos!

With almost no hope of achieving their target, the South Africans decided to hit out and get as close as possible contrary to their usual blocking tactics. AB de Villiers provided some serious entertainment with a 68-ball 80 which was good enough for one-day cricket, let alone Tests.

For India it was the local hero Virender Sehwag who scored some seriously quick runs and almost finished with centuries in both innings. His part-time offspin however was carted away when he was brought on to bowl in the second innings with most of India's bowlers exhausted.

This was the ideal kind of pitch for the legendary George Lohmann to blow teams away, and he did so with 12 wickets to his name.

Only a handful of batsmen could withstand the bowling might of either side, with Brian Lara being the most convincing.

37-11-95-12.

Decent enough match figures from Lohmann there! The side as a whole did pretty well, but there's only really one man that we have to thank for the victory

 

[VC the slogger]

37-11-95-12.

Decent enough match figures from Lohmann there!

Still nothing compared to the 25.2-11-45-15 he took back in 1896. Of course, that team had no Laras, Chanderpauls, Hoopers etc.

 

[Umair7]

Warne and MacGill IN For Lee and Fleming !

 

[Samuels]

Unchanged.

Close match it was.. We need to show ourselves worthy on batting too..

Going with seam studded lineup, since we'll be playing at the WACA, Perth. We hopefully can dominate any strong batting lineup with this sort of bowling lineup.

Ashley Malette in for Thomson.
