The rivalry that started in 1844 was relived with the Americans getting the better of Canada this time. After having gone wicketless in his previous two Olympic outings, George Patterson returned to prominence with a 5-wicket haul.

Patterson also batted like a dream on a treacherous pitch before falling agonizingly short of a deserved half-century.

hell hell hell I can say for Canada now!


But you've got to admit, almost beating Australia was quite a feat. This Canadian team never looked good enough on the batting front to seriously challenge the likes of Australia, Great Britain and the then fairly strong Americans.

I think you might have a better chance to keep clear of the wooden spoon in 1900 when the likes of France, Netherlands and the then very raw New Zealand come in.
 
Once again, An impressive performance from the bowlers won us the game.I wouldn't like to change this winning combination they're performing perfectly well, Going Same
 
Excellent victory there; George Patterson was at his very best and the result duly went with us

Hugh Trumble bowled Australia to an unlikely victory by spectacularly dismissing the dangerous Stanley Jackson.

Despite being tied on points with USA, Australia will have to settle for a bronze medal because of their poor head-to-head record against the Americans this season.

A close match and we registered a thrilling win by just 2 runs .

Despite the win , we are out of the finals . Thats very sad .

It was a short and learning experience here. Hope I gets a chance in 1900 .

Thanks VC for a sweet and short League :)
 
Come 1900, if allowed, WI will be ready to show their might. Constantine, Harold Austin, Burton and Sydney Smith. Ain't I excited?!

1904 actually. New Zealand, France, Netherlands and Argentina get the nod ahead of them for 1900. They ought to be much stronger by 1904 anyway.

Yes, a lot changed for the team from the WI between 1900 and 1904.

1896 Olympic Games Final - Great Britain vs USA

It's now down to Great Britain and the United States of America to fight for Olympic gold. Despite being tied on points with the Americans, Australia missed out due to their somewhat surprise defeat to them in the first match of the competition. Canada on the other hand were completely outplayed in all but their second game where they let Australia escape with a face-saving win despite being in a winning position for most part.

Given their irresistable form with the ball and a wide range of illustrious names to pick from, Great Britain remain overwhelming favorites despite finishing the league stage with a surprise defeat to an out-of-form Australian side. They've been so consistent that legends like Gilbert Jessop (best player to never play limited overs cricket), Bobby Abel, Johnny Briggs and Bobby Peel have been reduced to benchwarmers for this tournament.

Great Britain have also got the psychological advantage with a 110-run victory against the Americans in their most recent encounter. But one can't underestimate an American team with players of the calibre of Bart King, John Lester, Henry Baily, Percy Clark and not to mention George Patterson who returned to his usual with bat and ball in their previous match against North American rivals Canada. They might want to play Walter Clark this time though.


Players to watch out for..

George Lohmann has picked up 6 wickets from 3 matches at a very Lohmann-esque average of 12.33 but hasn't been at his lineup-wrecking best. He is set to retire from international cricket at the end of this Olympics, which means he'll probably look to bow out on a high by destroying one last international batting lineup.

Since taking on the US captaincy, John Lester has been nowhere near his best with only 23 runs from 3 innings at a very poor average of 11.50. He'll have to do much better than that if America are to survive against Great Britain's red hot bowling attack.


Pitch & conditions

Expected to typically favor bowlers on underdeveloped wickets at Athens where cricket has seldom been played before. Short boundaries mean there's likely to be some big hitting too, despite the reluctance of most players to hit sixes. Ideal
for someone like Gilbert Jessop.

I'll do exactly what you said, and bring Walter Clark in for Arthur Wood. Wood has been painfully average, and really hasn't warranted a place in the final. It would be a real shame to lose at the hands of Lohmann, but a fitting end for him if he ends a TB-shortened career with Olympic gold.

May the best team win

(Fantastic write-up, by the way)
