The Australians gave no quarter with the ball and acquitted themselves quite well with the bat to win inside 3 days at their MCG fortress. McGrath's impeccable line, Gillespie's swing and Lee's sheer pace complemented each other brilliantly.

Mark Waugh had a forgettable outing with the bat but proved his worth at second slip. His part-time offbreaks also accounted for India's in-form batsman Tendulkar in the second innings.

We need to improve our batting to win these kind of games.


Certain tactics too. I reckon you should have included an extra pacer on a green top at the expense of a spinner. The Aussies themselves went with an all pace attack. A move like that might not work for India though, but a minimum of 3 pacers is a necessity on these kind of wickets.

Clive Lloyd's West Indians were brought down to earth by their predecessors. Roberts, Holding, Garner & Marshall remained bowled as quick as ever but that didn't seem to bother Everton Weekes and Garry Sobers.

Sobers led the fightback for his team in the first innings and only narrowly missed out on a century. His 38 in the second innings proved crucial after Roberts ended Walcott and Weekes' escapade. The tailenders were bold enough to take them through to victory safely.

Wow what a great game for us.McGrath,Gillespie,Lee combo was awesome,the move to bring in Damien Martyn in place of Darren Lehmann worked in a great manner his partnership with gilly in the first innings gave a good lead for us on a green top.
 
Jeesam Peas! that was a one heck of a match. How would I have loved to witness this match in real life. Unchanged yet again.

The pace of Jeff Thomson complementing the almost similarly quick Lillee was badly missed by the Australians who could do next to nothing regarding Barry Richards, despite trying out no fewer than 8 different bowlers.180 overs was a hell of a long time spent on the field and their batsmen were visibly exhausted by the time their second innings came around.

It was South Africa's second innings victory in three games, all of which they've won by completely obliterating their opposition.

West Indies didn't do much wrong except run into Don Bradman at his invincible best on a very flat wicket. Bradman's 277 eclipsed Herschelle Gibbs' 250* in the inaugural season as the highest score in the league's history. He could well have gone on to make the first ever triple century of the tournament but for his exhaustion and newfound love of clearing short boundaries.

Bill Johnston's 10-fer was completely eclipsed by Bradman's knock. His wickets spurred terrible collapses in both of West Indies. They lost 7/61 after being in a very good position in their first innings, and then 6/10 in the second innings which ended the game.

The margin of victory didn't do justice to the thrilling nature of this match, with twists and turns at almost every corner.

The Legends XI started the match brilliantly with KS Ranjitsinhji and Andrew Stoddart ruthlessly dominating the South African bowlers. Then came a disastrous collapse where they lost their last 6 wickets for just 53 runs. Their total was still a pretty good 379.

South Africa replied with an iron fist, with Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla getting big hundreds while the rest of their top six contributed with catchy fifties. Their total of 587 was big enough to guarantee a draw or a victory. A second innings implosion by the Legends XI brought about the latter.

Jack Blackham could hold his head (and beard) proud in defeat after an awesome performance with the gloves. His 7 dismissals which included 2 stumpings was quite comfortably the best ever by a wicket-keeper in the league's 5-season history.
