ICC Test Championship™| R8 | AUS VS ENG | SAF VS IND |

[CG123]

What a start!
1st innings our batsmen done just what was required after winning the toss and batting, especially Watling and Ryder.
Our bowlers done well to keep them to 230, then Ryder got stuck in again taking the game away from them.
In the end as the pitch broke up, they collapsed.

Lol, I made Mills captain by accident, but I think he can stay captain after that effort, same team for my next match.

Also lol at Vettori opening the bowling in both innings, but it worked, so yeah.

Duminy Was Great In This match..

 

[hedger_14]

JP Duminy, you legend. Well batted Boucher as well.

Playing 2 spinners didn't end up working out too well for us but Botha bowled really well with 4/63 and 4/40. Good bowling from Steyn and Morkel as well.

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Winning the match by 47 runs that was a narrow escape for India.. Nice innings by pujara in 2nd innings
Also PM you the lineup with the answer of your questions

 

[Harshshah]

Thanks @ Rahul!!

So Only 20/20 pro left for the lineup

 

[Prats]

Pretty good play in first ininngs by our Batsmen..!!
Bowling was also good. The main thing which led us to defeat was second innings. Total fail

Changes for next game:
Chanderpaul goes out for Brendan Nash

I'm not feeling really good to remove Shiv but no other option left as he was only to play foolishly

 

[Harshshah]

@ Good, try and persist!! This is only 2nd game

Anyway's rest two games will be played and posted by tonight some time
