Story International Cricket - My History

[Slowcoach]

This thread will be an attempt to create an alternative cricket history beginning in the 1991/2 season featuring the 9 World Cup teams of that year.
I will attempt to carry on through the years with Bangladesh being added in 1997/8 and given Test status 3 years early.
Zimbabwe and South Africa have been given their Test status at the beginning of the 1991/2 season in another marked difference from reality,.
The matches will feature only Test players officially carded for the game and selections will be my own based on match conditions and form with some differences to real life.
The schedule will be loosely based on real life with some tours and tournaments added as I see fit and some series extended.
In a difference from my past replays I will be allowing in game injuries as they are part of the drama of the game.
All matches will be simmed using Owzat Games International Cricket dice game.
Matches will be played using the IC Excel Helper and feature the Enhanced New Ball option, and Standard Stamina rules.
Pre-game injuries will be the luck of the dice with real life long term injuries ignored.
I will be playing ODIs because I have found the Helper does a decent job of simming the games and it is a format I enjoy tactically particularly from the bowling point of view.
No T20s this time, T20 stats are meaningless to me and the run rates in IC aren't high enough to allow a decent simulation of T20 cricket.
The highlight of the 1st season will no doubt be the 1991/2 ODI World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
More to follow...

India v West Indies - Sharjah Tri-Series ODI - at Sharjah CA Ground, Sharjah - 1991/2

Injuries: None

India batted first on a Dry and Grassless pitch expected to help the batsmen and slipped to 64/5 before a maiden ODI half century to Vinod Kambli took them to a below par 190/8 off 50 overs.
An injury in the outfield to West Indies Fast bowler Ian Bishop meant he only bowled 5 overs and was part of the reason India managed to stage a recovery.
West Indies captain Richie Richardson raced to a 34 ball half century to lead a strong reply and set up 6 wicket win with 4.5 overs to spare.

Anil Kumble bowled a tight spell for India to help set up the win

 

[Slowcoach]

India v Pakistan - Sharjah Tri-Series ODI - Sharjah CA Ground, Sharjah - 1991/2

Injuries: S.R.Tendulkar - Ankle Injury (miss 1 match)

With both sides locked on 1 win apiece from 3 games this game was a virtual Semi-Final with a win to either side enough to make the Final.
India won the Toss and bowled first on a Good Paced Wicket expected to help the Fast and Fast Medium bowlers but also increase the scoring rate.
After 2 early wickets to India Fast Medium bowler Chetan Sharma, Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar and Number 4 Javed Miandad scored brilliant centuries to set up a massive total.
The Pakistan 3rd wicket pair added 262 at close to 8 an over to make Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin regret his decision to bowl first and set up a monumental score of 352/7 off 50 overs.
Saeed scored 169 off 124 balls with 27 fours and 3 sixes while Javed made 148 from 122 balls with 19 fours and 6 sixes as they put the Indian attack to the sword.
Half centuries to Mohammad Azharuddin and Vinod Kambli gave the Indian reply some respectability but 5 wickets to Waqar Younis and 3 to Wasim Akram set up a big Pakistan win.
Saeed Anwar was named Man of the Match as Pakistan easily qualified for the Final with their 2nd win from 4 games leaving India on the bottom of the table with only 1 win.

Pakistan v West Indies - Sharjah ODI Tri-Series - Final - at Sharjah CA Ground, Sharjah - 1991/2

Injuries: Saeed Anwar - Pulled Muscle in Back (miss 2 matches), P.V.Simmons - Stomach Bug (miss 1 match)

With last match century maker Saeed Anwar injured Pakistan went with the experienced opening pair of Rameez Raja and Shoaib Mohammad for the all important Sharjah ODI Tri-Series Final.
A Good Paced Wicket offering help to the Fast and Fast Medium bowlers persauded both teams to select seam heavy attacks and after winning the Toss the West Indies elected to bowl first.
An ODI career best 6-55 to experienced Fast bowler Malcolm Marshall restricted Pakistan to a total of 212/8 off 50 overs with keeper Moin Khan top scoring with a solid 60 to keep his side in the game.
Half centuries to West Indies opener Desmond Haynes and middle order batsman Carl Hooper got their side off to a good start before late wickets lead to a nail biting finish.
With scores level and needing 2 wickets to salvage a Tie Pakistan captain Imran Khan dismissed Curtly Ambrose to bring West Indies Number 11 Courtney Walsh to the crease needing 1 run to win and Pakistan needing 1 wicket for a Tie.
In a dramatic end to the game Walsh lofted Imran to deep midwicket where Pakistan's poorest fielder Aaqib Javed spilled an easy chance and conceded 3 runs to give West Indies a memorable 1 wicket win to win the tournament.
Malcolm Marshall was named Man of the Match for his 6 wicket haul while Pakistan allrounder Wasim Akram was named Player of the Tournament for some consistently outstanding Fast bowling.
