ICC Test Championship | The Final!

[Haarithan]

Oops , Jono was talking about 9 and 10 fors .

That happened to me in the lower divisions (as HK), I used to get players who would take 9fers and 10fers (in an innings ), and average around 6.

[Iridium]

Steyn was just awesome, picking up 9 wickets for the match. I was going to leave out Boucher for du Plessis but glad I didn't 'cause if it wasn't for him and Kallis, we would have conceded an even bigger first innings deficit. Good win.

[Haarithan]

He he that's why I have been saying we're the best test side in the world () . Can domination come any better than this ?? Anderson with the ball & Pietersen with the bat , DONE !!!

 

[Varun]

Our bowlers couldn't get going, nor our batsmen. Steyn, owing to his pace bowling prowess, mauled us apart.

 

[Haarithan]

And is there a 'Home advantage factor' involved in this sim ??

 

[mohit_dude10]

And is there a 'Home advantage factor' involved in this sim ??

Not that I know of, but home teams tend to win most matches.

 

[Iridium]

Just noticed too that because I won away from home, I get more points. Sweeeet!

 

[Near]

Another bad performance. Ajmal was good but our batting really needs to improve

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

One good thing about this sim is that, it will keep on tracking form of a bowler or batsman. They will continue to dominate

 

[Gaurav_7]

Ah well, with that team I expect a lot better result. Anyways, we need to be on our toes now.
