Transfers Window Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Late action is still better than no action at all

Phew, that was close. Lee did badly with the ball, but he might have redeemed himself. Smith fully justified his inclusion. And McGrath is just legendary.
 
UNBELIEVABLE WIN!!
 
When you have someone like Shoaib it can be dicey. It was not his day and he happened to bowling at flattest of pitches as well which made it worse. Hopefully we will bounce back strongly in the upcoming matches.

Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers made merry with an unbeaten 230-run partnership for the 4th wicket coming off just 28.4 overs. South Africa added 110 off their final ten, of which 71 came off their last five as Collins Obuya bowled two of the poorest overs at the death in human history.

With very little to lose in this dead rubber clash, Ravi Shah decided to play his shots and scored a superb 102 off 109 balls. Kenya, who didn't stand much of a chance chasing a total of 323 finished respectably on 280/9 at the close. Unfortunately, they had no victories to show for their efforts in the main draw of the competition after having impressively beaten Afghanistan to qualify for it.

Despite the loss, we didn't know we could come so close to beating an all-time South African xi. I expected a thrashing, but thank god it wasn't. :p

England failed to capitalize on a good start provided by Marcus Trescothick at the top of the order by going from 181/4 to 237/9. Their middle and lower orders failed to deliver with Allan Lamb putting up the only contribution of note. He eventually ran out of partners in the end, finishing unbeaten on 53 off 76 balls as England were bowled out for 250.

Sri Lanka underwent a collapse quite similar to England's after having started their run chase on a high with Sanath Jayasuriya and Tillakaratne Dilshan putting up 93 for the first wicket in very quick time. They had been brought down to their last man by the 47th over still needing another 22 runs for victory.

Muttiah+Muralitharan+Australia+v+Sri+Lanka+exNIpqO9z5bl.jpg


But luckily they still had Mahela Jayawardene battling on for his team, and their No 11 in Muttiah Muralitharan proved to be a more than capable bat in this situation. They prevailed by 1 wicket with an over to spare, thereby guiding Sri Lanka to a berth at the Super Sixes stage at the expense of England.

Feel like I've exhausted how many times I change my team around. Just got to face the fact that England were never a massive force in one dayers, only recently that they've started to come into their own.

Well they got to World Cup final in 1987 and 1992?
 
What a match... bowlers did there part well... but when it comes to batsman, sudden collapse after good batting bring fear in the team... but our trusted batsman Mahela kept batting with tail and bring us important win over England...
 
Finally some solid performances from all 3 departments.
