Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Round 3 - The greatest ODI batter who never was..

A decent comeback by us in the second inngs.
So lets accept it we need to chase down whatever target they set.

With the kind of batting we got even 400 is chaseable.
 
Good to see Everton Weekes finally showing a glimpse of his quality. Reach 300, declare, then bowl them out.
 


You needn't do that every time. It gets pretty annoying after a while. I know very well that I still have one more day to post. I'm currently juggling the PCPL auctions, a couple of leagues and a somewhat busy-ish personal life.

I will get to this when my schedule clears up a bit. Be that today, tomorrow or the day after - I really can't tell at the moment. So, a little more patience and less 'bumping' would be much appreciated.

That's just life sometimes. If I could help it, I would have finished this a lot faster. Also goes to show why posting day-to-day commentary, captions and stuff is a really bad idea for 4/5-day matches.

The West Indian skipper controversially declared his team's innings with his comrade Everton Weekes just two short of a half-century. Australia would have to chase a massive 367 to win.

Australia looked good for a win with Hayden and Bradman together scoring at almost 6 an over, but fell apart after their departures.

The Australian legends played better than anyone else throughout the tournament, but the West Indian legends penchant for big games like this saw their might undone.

West Indies won LAB Season VI
 
Damn, with those two declarations it was as if we were trying to lose it, but in the end we prevailed. It took longer than planned to find that ideal balance to our side, but once we did, we were unstoppable. As always, full credit to VC for another enjoyable season.
 
Well we were the only unbeaten team till the finals but we failed in the last hurdle.
Ricky Ponting and Greg Chappell couldn't do much with the bat and that's one of the reasons for our downfall.

Enjoyed the league @VC the slogger

I've found another excuse to keep this league going. For Season VII, Legends At Battle will for the first time ever include all-time XIs by continents rather than countries. There will be six participating teams representing the following continents :-

Africa
22px-Flag_of_Asia_%28Proposal%29.png
Asia
22px-Flag_of_Europe.svg.png
Europe
22px-Flag_of_Oceania_%28Proposal%29.svg.png
Oceania
22px-Flag_of_North_America_%28Proposal%29.png
North America
22px-Flag_of_South_America_%28Proposal%29.PNG
South America

The squads of these continental teams have already been selected by me and contain a fair mix of legends from the 10 Test-playing nations, as well as a few from countries that haven't had the privilege of gaining that elusive "Test status" from the ICC. Sign-ups are open as of now.


Note: The selection of managers will not be on a first-come first-serve basis. People who have participated in this league before are also likely to get the nod over newer members, as long as they are active enough these days.
