No changes please. On a great run here. And at the Wanderers again.

I play 4 home games in a row, lol.

 

[CG123]

Jimmy Franklin, three MOTMs in a row!!!

Very happy to draw with Australia away, what great batting by McIntosh and Taylor, and Mills was good with the ball.

Another performance with lots of positives, so I'll go with the same team again.

@ Harshshah - Does this sim keep our full team stats?
If it does, can you post them after the next round.

Why could we not take another wicket? 3 Runs were needed, the umpire should have given 30 minutes of extra play. I think that is the rule in ICC when umpires think result is possible?

Statistic Of All Teams After Round 4

 

[CG123]

Dam, our bowlers just didn't do enough in restricting them, and then we were always behind in the game.
At least we showed some fight as we outscored them in the second innings, but the damage had already been done.

Thanks for the stats, I'll post my line-up soon.

Gosh Australia are rubbish . We've lost all our matches except the one we drew against New Zealand and even then we let them rack up 600+.
