There's no two ways about it; you had to have seen this coming. For two matches in succession, the mighty Karachi had been humbled and on both instances Don Bradman had fallen well short of his usual standards. Not today though; on an absolutely flat pitch they brutalized the Dominators for a mammoth 402 off their 50 overs - easily the highest total of the season or in any LAB match of the same format. It was just breathtakingly brilliant batting from the likes of Bradman and his Invincibles' deputy Arthur Morris, who brought up his second ton of the season during a 120-run stand between the two. The former also shared an enthralling 139-run partnership off just 13.4 overs with longtime rival Wally Hammond, who blitzed his way to 72 off just 47 balls. It was a terrible day out for the Dominators' bowling attack who all went at rates ranging from 7 to nearly 12 an over with the exception of Jack Gregory, who did rather well all things considered to concede at less than a run-a-ball during his spell and bowl a rare maiden over.

The Dominators started off quite poorly losing both Warren Bardsley and the in-form Herbert Sutcliffe cheaply. Vijay Hazare and KS Ranjitsinhji did well to keep the contest alive with a quickfire 111-run stand for the 3rd wicket, but that was just about as good as it got for them with Karachi not possessing a Mick Lewis in their XI. All their bowlers managed to pick at least a wicket including part-timer Ken Barrington, with Richie Benaud leading the pack by claiming 3 for 56 off his 9 overs. Karachi were through to the final to face PlanetCricket, yet again. It is set to the the fourth instance of the two teams meeting each other this season, with the head-to-head record reading 2-1 in the latter's favor.

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!

This is the kind of performance I've been wanting from my team! I knew they were more than capable of it, and if anything, I'm glad it came in a game like this - an all-important semifinal! Arthur Morris and Don Bradman were simply incredible. Wally Hammond should also be praised for his quickfire knock. Trent Bridge was quite flat and I'm glad our batsmen were able to exploit that. As far as the bowlers go, I'm really happy with how they did as well. Especially Wally Hammond.

BRING ON THE FINAL! :D

PlanetCricket v Karachi Cricket Club at :blueo:Lord's

- Pitch: :ar::up:
- Players injured/unavailable: None
- Players yet to play (see lineup rules): John Reid (KCC)

@Pinch hitter/@Yash. @Na Maloom Afraad


Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) in your XI.
2) A minimum of 6 players marked to bowl.
3) Players ruled out due to injury cannot be selected.
4) The time limit for posting lineups is 48 hours. I will likely go with a random lineup if your lineup isn't posted within that time.
5) Teams must give a minimum of 15 players a game over the course of the tournament (warm-ups don't count). However, all players must be given a go during the 2 rounds of warm-ups.

Explanation on pitch types

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 3 an over.

Some stats and trivia regarding LAB finals..

- Of the 10 LAB finals played till date, the team batting first has emerged victorious on 6 occasions while the team batting second on only 4 occasions. Needless to say, the toss could prove crucial in the Season XI final.
- Only 1 of the 10 LAB finals played till date have been in the 50-over format; the rest all being 5 days in length or 'timeless' Tests, the longest of which was the Season VIII final between the Professional XI and Post-War XI which lasted a whopping 8 days!
- For some reason, LAB finals have nearly always ended in massive routs with the closest margin of victory by runs being 36 in the Season III final where England beat Australia. The highest in terms of runs is the 283-run rout of the Post-War XI by the Professional XI in the Season VIII final.
- Don Bradman may not be the most successful player in terms of cup victories in this league, but it's certainly not for a lack of trying. His 829 runs at 82.90 is easily the most by a player in LAB finals ahead of Gordon Greenidge's 775 at 77.50, and he has the rare distinction of scoring a century in 4 of the 5 finals he has appeared in - a feat matched only by Greenidge.
- Nobody has made more LAB finals appearances than Viv Richards, currently sitting out of this season, who has appeared in as many as 7 finals - winning 4 and losing 3, making him the most successful player in terms of finals victories in LAB history. His 600 runs at an average of 50.00 with 2 centuries and a best of 187 are a none too shabby return either.
- There have been only two instances of a player scoring two centuries in a final, by the recently deceased Sir Everton Weekes in Season I, and quite remarkably Weekes again in Season VIII. His record in LAB finals reads an astonishing 502 runs at 125.50 with 4 centuries from only 3 appearances.
- Wally Hammond is the only man in LAB history to score in century in every final he has appeared in till date, having done so in Season III and Season X.
- Of all players to have scored a minimum of 250 runs in LAB finals, nobody averages more than Ken Barrington's staggering 274.00 courtesy of his heroics in losing cause against Australia in the Season X final.
- On statistics alone, this isn't perhaps the best time to be a PlanetCricket supporter for Karachi also possess in their ranks WG Grace and Arthur Morris, who along with Frank Worrell and Ray Lindwall are the only four men in LAB history to win every single final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.
- At the other end of the spectrum PlanetCricket possess Charlie Turner, who along with Ricky Ponting, Alec Bedser and KS Ranjitsinhji are the only players to have lost every final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.
- Although perhaps, one thing that could count against Karachi on paper is Clyde Walcott who despite being a fine player has the dubious distinction of losing 4 out of the 5 LAB finals he has appeared in - the most by anyone in LAB history.
- PlanetCricket do however possess a trump card in the form of Garry Sobers, who is the only man to have scored more than 400 runs and claimed more than 10 wickets in LAB finals - with a record reading 446 runs at 55.75 and 14 wickets at 46.07 from 6 appearances, the second most by any player after Richards.
- Jack Hobbs record in LAB finals i.e 198 runs at 49.50 with 3 fifties provide decent viewing, but each of his three 50+ scores have rather bizarrely ended on 62. Only once out of his four innings has he not been out at that score.
- The highest individual scored ever recorded in an LAB final is Gordon Greenidge's 209 in defeat against South Africa in Season II. On the bowling front, it's Bart King's 6 for 92 for North America against Asia that's at the very top, although Ray Lindwall's extremely cheap 5 for 25 in the Season IV final does come a close second.

LAB finals played till date

LAB I - PAK beat WI by 150 runs
LAB II - SA beat WI by 6 wickets
LAB III - ENG beat AUS by 36 runs
LAB IV - BARRACUDAS beat ICC WISDEN XI by 6 wickets
LAB V - AUS B beat WI A by 88 runs
LAB VI - WI beat AUS by 95 runs
LAB VII - NORTH AMERICA beat ASIA by 8 wickets
LAB VIII - PROFESSIONAL XI beat POST-WAR XI by 283 runs
LAB IX - WI beat PAK by 120 runs
LAB X - AUS beat ENG by 78 runs

- Don Bradman may not be the most successful player in terms of cup victories in this league, but it's certainly not for a lack of trying. His 829 runs at 82.90 is easily the most by a player in LAB finals ahead of Gordon Greenidge's 775 at 77.50, and he has the rare distinction of scoring a century in 4 of the 5 finals he has appeared in - a feat matched only by Greenidge.
- Wally Hammond is the only man in LAB history to score in century in every final he has appeared in till date, having done so in Season III and Season X.
- Of all players to have scored a minimum of 250 runs in LAB finals, nobody averages more than Ken Barrington's staggering 274.00 courtesy of his heroics in losing cause against Australia in the Season X final.
- On statistics alone, this isn't perhaps the best time to be a PlanetCricket supporter for Karachi also possess in their ranks WG Grace and Arthur Morris, who along with Frank Worrell and Ray Lindwall are the only four men in LAB history to win every single final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.
- At the other end of the spectrum PlanetCricket possess Charlie Turner, who along with Ricky Ponting, Alec Bedser and KS Ranjitsinhji are the only players to have lost every final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.

In all seriousness though, those are some AMAZING stats! Love a build up like this. Can't wait for the final now!

But still, gonna post my lineup tomorrow during the day when I'm not falling into late-night delirium. I want to get this just right.

the Season VIII final between the Professional XI and Post-War XI which lasted a whopping 8 days!

The highest in terms of runs is the 283-run rout of the Post-War XI by the Professional XI in the Season VIII final.

On statistics alone, this isn't perhaps the best time to be a PlanetCricket supporter for Karachi also possess in their ranks WG Grace and Arthur Morris, who along with Frank Worrell and Ray Lindwall are the only four men in LAB history to win every single final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.
- At the other end of the spectrum PlanetCricket possess Charlie Turner, who along with Ricky Ponting, Alec Bedser and KS Ranjitsinhji are the only players to have lost every final they've ever appeared in i.e 2 out of 2.

I just hope this doesn't end like LAB VIII final for me. (Considering I managed the Post War XI in that)

Going with our most dependable lineup. With the X-Factor of the team, Franklyn Stephenson back, I believe we can give Karachi a run for their money! Let's hope Fazal Mahmood continues his good form.

GO PLANET CRICKET!!

We're going to retain the same lineup that rioted against the Dominators in the second qualifier. After having tried and tested almost everything I honestly believe that this is our best xi. WG Grace, despite you mentioning the fact that he's never been on a losing side in a LAB final will be left out of the playing xi. His performance throughout the season has been unsatisfactory. I'll give Hanif Mohammad the slight benefit because Hanif Mohammad has a slightly better strike rate, and he is our captain. Don't wanna leave out the captain for the final, what sense would that make? Arthur Morris, Ken Barrington, Don Bradman, Wally Hammond, Clyde Walcott, Richie Benaud, Float Woods and Bill Lockwood are mainstays of the team. There isn't even a thought of replacing them. Neil Harvey tho, is a risky choice IMO. I contemplated bringing Warwick Armstrong back into the team for his place and give myself an extra bowling option, but Neil Harvey's superior strike rate convinced me to not do that. Neil Harvey can, hopefully, play the role of a finisher alongside Clyde Walcott, who I know for a fact can smash the ball hard. Another thought I had was getting rid of Hugh Trumble and bringing in Herbert Dorning to strengthen the pace-attack, but I kept Hugh Trumble for two reasons. His bowling average of 27.27 from 11 scalps and him being the only off spinner in the lineup. Variety is a good thing, a legbreak bowler, an offbreak bowler, two right-arm quicks and a medium-fast bowler.

May the best team (us) win!!! :D

Having won the toss and opted to bat, Karachi didn't get off to the best of starts losing skipper Hanif Mohammad to just the third over of their innings. Charlie Turner began his spell with a superb wicket maiden.

They subsequently also lost their top-order rock in the form of Ken Barrington when the former quite foolishly decided to take on Garry Sobers' throwing arm. No finals heroics from him this time. Enter the Don..

Arthur_Morris_playing_career.jpg


But the joy was shortlived as they lost another in the form of Arthur Morris, their second most consistent run scorer behind only Bradman in the competition. Karachi were well and truly tottering at 36 for 3 after 8 overs, and now had their two best batsmen out in the middle. Can Bradman and Hammond turn it around, or will this turn into another humbling at the hands of PlanetCricket's wily bowling attack.

By gods, they nearly had him! Bradman offered a simple chance behind the wicket on 16 off Franklyn Stephenson which was dropped by Ken McEwan. You simply can't afford to drop someone like Bradman at any cost! The perils of not possessing a full-time wicket keeper in your lineup..

As if almost to spite them, Bradman raced to a half-century off just 29 balls - easily his fastest ever in this league. Hammond too was looking good at the other end. Kenneth Scott McEwan, what the hell have you done?!

Wally Hammond brought up a fine half-century of his own, but no one cared. What was unfolding at the other end was simply BRUTAL.

There was finally some relief for PlanetCricket with Fred Trueman getting rid of Hammond for a well played 54. He had put on 152 in just 20.3 overs alongside Bradman to well and truly shift the balance of the match in Karachi's favor.

Bradman continued his ruthless assault with another six - his sixth, easily another record for him in this league, in the process bringing up a century off just 69 balls - also his fastest ever.

Trueman finally got him, but not before he had smashed him out of the ground yet again. After a stupendous knock of 115 off just 81 balls, Don Bradman was finally out. McEwan finally held on this time; if only he had done so 99 runs sooner..

Bradman's innings may have ended, but PlanetCricket's torment at the hands of Karchi's batsmen surely hadn't. Clyde Walcott walked out and smashed his first delivery out of the ground, meaning the slaughter was to continue for now.

Fred-trueman-GI.jpg


Having spent all day being carted around by Bradman and Hammond, Trueman was finally swinging things back in PlanetCricket's favor by dismissing the well set pair of Clyde Walcott and Neil Harvey in the 40th over to expose Karachi's tail - in the process bringing up a rather expensive 4-fer for himself to take his tournament wicket tally to 23 to equal the legendary George Lohmann at the very top of the charts. Can they still make it to 300, or will they get bowled out for not too many thereafter?

But Richie Benaud seemed to have other plans. Having recorded 4 ducks from his 6 innings in the competition prior to this match, he had saved his best with the bat for last and was adding some crucial runs to Karachi's cause alongside the plucky Hugh Trumble.

If Benaud was merely good, Bill Lockwood was simply breathtaking. Another man who had done next to nothing with the bat all tournament suddenly came out and gave PlanetCricket quite a shellacking with a superb 19-ball 33. Benaud finished unbeaten on 34 off 29 at other end; Karachi on a very formidable 334/8 which needless to say will require some chasing. One could go as far ahead to say they might already have on hand on the trophy.

Of course... We weren’t gonna be third time lucky against Bradman.

That score is giving me vibes of the LAB8 final where my team got outbatted early in the game :(

They subsequently also lost their top-order rock in the form of Ken Barrington when the former quite foolishly decided to take on Garry Sobers' throwing arm. No finals heroics from him this time. Enter the Don..

Arthur_Morris_playing_career.jpg


But the joy was shortlived as they lost another in the form of Arthur Morris, their second most consistent run scorer behind only Bradman in the competition. Karachi were well and truly tottering at 36 for 3 after 8 overs, and now had their two best batsmen out in the middle. Can Bradman and Hammond turn it around, or will this turn into another humbling at the hands of PlanetCricket's wily bowling attack.

By gods, they nearly had him! Bradman offered a simple chance behind the wicket on 16 off Franklyn Stephenson which was dropped by Ken McEwan. You simply can't afford to drop someone like Bradman at any cost! The perils of not possessing a full-time wicket keeper in your lineup..

As if almost to spite them, Bradman raced to a half-century off just 29 balls - easily his fastest ever in this league. Hammond too was looking good at the other end. Kenneth Scott McEwan, what the hell have you done?!

There was finally some relief for PlanetCricket with Fred Trueman getting rid of Hammond for a well played 54. He had put on 152 in just 20.3 overs alongside Bradman to well and truly shift the balance of the match in Karachi's favor.

Trueman finally got him, but not before he had smashed him out of the ground yet again. After a stupendous knock of 115 off just 81 balls, Don Bradman was finally out. McEwan finally held on this time; if only he had done so 99 runs sooner..

Bradman's innings may have ended, but PlanetCricket's torment at the hands of Karchi's batsmen surely hadn't. Clyde Walcott walked out and smashed his first delivery out of the ground, meaning the slaughter was to continue for now.

Having spent all day being carted around by Bradman and Hammond, Trueman was finally swinging things back in PlanetCricket's favor by dismissing the well set pair of Clyde Walcott and Neil Harvey in the 40th over to expose Karachi's tail - in the process bringing up a rather expensive 4-fer for himself to take his tournament wicket tally to 23 to equal the legendary George Lohmann at the very top of the charts. Can they still make it to 300, or will they get bowled out for not too many thereafter?

But Richie Benaud seemed to have other plans. Having recorded 4 ducks from his 6 innings in the competition prior to this match, he had saved his best with the bat for last and was adding some crucial runs to Karachi's cause alongside the plucky Hugh Trumble.

If Benaud was merely good, Bill Lockwood was simply breathtaking. Another man who had done next to nothing with the bat all tournament suddenly came out and gave PlanetCricket quite a shellacking with a superb 19-ball 33. Benaud finished unbeaten on 34 off 29 at other end; Karachi on a very formidable 334/8 which needless to say will require some chasing. One could go as far ahead to say they might already have on hand on the trophy.

Despite proving expensive, Bill Lockwood got another in the form of Wasim Jaffer - hardly a name you'd expect to turn up in a match featuring some of the greatest cricketers to ever draw breath, but it is what it is.

The standard of wicket-keeping certainly didn't improve as the match progressed with Clyde Walcott, another part-time keeper dropping Jack Hobbs on 36. Will it prove as costly to Karachi as Bradman's drop did to PlanetCricket?

Hobbs certainly made the most of his reprieve by bringing up his half-century in style with a six. Monty Noble at the other end was also looking in irresistible form as a century partnership neared.

It wasn't to be for Monty Noble though. He was out for a 47-ball 48 courtesy of a questionable umpiring decision.

Not today though! Richie Benaud saw to it with an absolute ripper that breached through Hobbs' defences to see him dismissed for 92. Nevertheless, he had put PlanetCricket in a very good position where they now only have another 100 runs to get from the last 14 overs of the match with big hitters Franklyn Stephenson and Aubrey Faulkner yet to come.

While PlanetCricket looked to have the upper hand initially, Float Woods returned with a vengeance to rip out Garry Sobers and Ken McEwan with his sheer pace. It's all down to Aubrey Faulkner and Franklyn Stephenson now, with PlanetCricket needing a further 82 runs off the last 10 overs with 4 wickets in hand. The latter has a strike rate of nearly 150 in the competition and is renowned for pulling off stunning heists such as this one. But Karachi also crucially have 3 overs remaining from Woods, 2 from Lockwood, 4 from Trumble and 1 from Benaud with their only weak link in Hammond already having bowled out his full quota. This could get interesting.
