World Championship of Cricket 1911 | The closest Championship ever

What bowling! As if 138 wasn't low enough, we had to drop them for even less. The batting is still quite frail.

Unchanged for yet another final against NSW. Going to take a miracle to trip them up with the form they're in.

World Championship to be played on foreign shores
It is now the eight year of the World Championship of Cricket, and for the first time it will be played outside of England. The Marylebone Cricket Club reached an agreement with the cricket clubs of Philadelphia to play the Championship in the United States, and for the Philadelphians to make a return tour to England in twelve months time. It will be interesting to see how much appeal there is to the competition outside of England. Most exciting of all is that the final match, between the Philadelphians and the five-time champions, will be played at the beautiful Merion Cricket Club:

Kent

Nobody expected Kent to win the County Championship last year, but win it they did, by matching the points tallies of Yorkshire and Surrey, but from fewer matches. Their team revolves around a couple of highly capable bowlers: Arthur Fielder and Colin Blythe are amongst the best in England, and took 292 Championship wickets between them last year; only one other Kent bowler took more than 30. This is not a team of stars. They also miss a month of Championship cricket, despite a Blue Riband voyage across the Atlantic.

New South Wales

New South Wales' star player from the previous competition, Sunny Jim Mackay, is not with them this time around; after the previous tournament concluded, he travelled home not with his own team, but with the players from Transvaal. Still, there's plenty of quality here, not least Austin Diamond, who followed the successful Championship defence with his best ever Shield season.

Gentlemen of Philadelphia

Last time they played in the World Championship, the Philadelphians beat Yorkshire to take second place, only behind New South Wales. Despite having lost a couple of players since then, Bart King's men will be hopeful of a repeat performance. They're on home soil, and they do have the firepower to take down the Kent team on their day.

Context
On its first voyage outside England, this World Championship might be the end of an era in more ways than one.

Watch out for
Bart King and John Lester, Colin Blythe and Arthur Fielder; each pair will be carrying their sides.

Prediction
It's an open goal for New South Wales to take a fifth straight title. Can they hit the target?
 
Another Year...Another Title. A win would have been better to end the championship but we won the title anyhow. Good to see we are dominating the records too.

@The Author, I won't be helping Australia to win their fifth title. Because I will wait for the next opportunity to try and go solo.

Sorry about that, I meant to fix that on the index.

You'll likely get either the West Indian or Kiwi champions after the War, whichever you prefer.
