Round 1

England v Sri Lanka at Old Trafford

- Decade: 2000s
- Pitch: Evenly-balanced. A little in it for batsmen, pacers and spinners alike.


Australia v Pakistan at Perth

- Decade: 1980s
- Pitch: Very fast and bouncy. Helps fast bowlers the best, but batsmen and spinners can also thrive.


South Africa v India at Johannesburg

- Decade: 2000s
- Pitch: Flat wicket where plenty of runs are expected to be scored.


West Indies v New Zealand at Barbados

- Decade: 1960s
- Pitch: Slow and lifeless wicket. Not expected to produce a result.


Please post your Round 1 lineups now that I've simplified everything.

When top clicks then Lower failed & when top order fails then lower order click. We need to do some experiments

 

[Pinch hitter]

When Sunil Gavaskar batting in 1st Innings, it looks like we are heading for draw, but thanks to Kapil Dev and Dravid, we successfully beat South Africa...
