West Indies A v South Africa A at Jamaica

- Slightly slower this time and somewhat better for batting, but fast bowlers are still likely to find a lot of help from the wicket.
- Players unavailable: none
I see le Roux isn't injured. But, I feel he needs some rest now. So, Peter Pollock in for le Roux. This will be an exciting match as the opposition is very strong. I hope the players can keep up the momentum and go all guns blazing for this match! Resting le Roux for this match was a tough decision as he has been the leading wicket taker for us. But, let's see what Pollock does with his first outing.

Considering the fact that this match is in WACA and it's gonna be a heaven for fast bowlers, I decided to bring Wiki back. Raja gets a much needed rest and Shoaib Mohammad is gonna play his first match of the tournament. Moin comes back in for Saleem Yusuf.​

i'll take them, but don't know which player can be replaced...any help?

Courtney Browne, Frank Rose, Stuart Williams have been complete duds so far. You could do way with one of the Benjamins too.

Patrick Patterson, Otis Gibson, Vasbert Drakes, Nixon McLean, Cameron Cuffy are the good ones. Patterson, the most feared of them all. Gibson, a useful bowling allrounder.


@Mr Nokkaya, so what's it gonna be?[DOUBLEPOST=1413483958][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you rest his leg for one round, he comes back with fresh energy the next time you play him. That's quite helpful for an in-form bowler.

New Zealand almost pulled off the impossible task of chasing 364 after being 5/95 at one stage. But the breakthroughs provided by Garry Sobers and Roy Gilchrist forced them to shift gears and bat out a draw instead.

Their key batsmen Martin Crowe, Andrew Jones and John Wright finally struck form while Ian Smith turned from zero (3 ducks in previous 6 innings) to hero with an unbeaten 60 that saw New Zealand through.

Rodney Hogg kept his head while Wasim Akram lost his, and bowled Australia to victory in the most thrilling game to ever be played in this league's history. It was a match for the ages.

Lillee, Thomson and Hogg prevailed over the equally deadly Wasim, Waqar and Imran after a fierce battle.

Ahhhhh....... WestindiesB did well....it would have been better if they had won
 
Yes! finally the key players have clicked. Hadlee took all the important wickets in the first innings proving why he's the best fastie New Zealand ever had, Bracewell as well took one of the most vital wickets that of Sir Gary Sobers. Andrew Jones played brilliantly but only in the first and Martin Crowe in the second innings, wish they could play together sometime. Overall, I'm really happy to finally see New Zealand back on track and am really happy with Ian Smith scoring.

This however gave Lawrence Rowe and Franklyn Stephenson a great opportunity to prove their credentials, and they grabbed it with both hands.

Dr WG Grace returned to form this time as the legends posted 311 in their first innings. Not surprisingly, it was nowhere near enough against a team featuring some of the best players of spin to walk the earth.

They managed to find Tendulkar's Achilles heel in the left-arm spin of Peel, but were completely powerless against Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly. All three notched up centuries to bolster India to a humongous 530.

India then bowled the Legends out for a paltry 209 with the wicket turning as fiercely as ever. Kumble and Harbhajan took out their middle order while Tendulkar joined in on the act to get Grace, Barnes and Briggs. They won by an innings and earned a bagful of points.

With defeat looking almost certain after a poor first innings, South Africa did what they do better than most.

The match saving specialists Jacques Kallis, Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis grinded out more than 100 overs between themselves while the typically aggressive Herschelle Gibbs also chipped in with a comparatively useful 110 off 191 balls.

Arthur Morris, who looked a complete shadow of himself during the previous 3 matches, returned to his scintillating best with an innings of 155. He comprehensively outscored all of his team-mates, and then chipped in with another half-century in the second innings.

While Don Bradman has been known to score a few ducks during his Test career, he never once managed a pair. That is until today. This was shocking given that he looked unstoppable with a 277 just one match earlier. Probably just a super-rare bad day at the office for him.
