Don Bradman led from the front by scoring a destructive 163 off 173 balls when his team was under immense pressure after The Kamikazes posted a mammoth 542 in their first innings.
 
Agh fearsome tweak. A mammoth total in the 1st innings and then a small total in the 2nd innings. That's inconsistent.

I'll post my line-up afterwards.

Wow, it's sad to see Fenil's team winning their first match in the 5th round.
 
Nah, I won't say cricsim. I'd say that's how cricket goes. Not always the best rated are the best performers.
 
The Alliance still no win so i would say you should stay happy that atleast you won a game :)
