Greg Chappell's heroic efforts went in vain with the Australians falling just 15 short of their target.

Worrell did what most captains wouldn't do - by making Lance Gibbs attack on a pace-friendly WACA pitch. The Australians were overly aggressive towards Gibbs and fell to his traps one at a time to gift him a five-fer.

West Indies B       282 & 389/9d
Australia C         299 & 357

Garth le Roux gave indications of what might have been if it wasn't for South Africa's 20-year isolation from international cricket. Curiously, no one managed to score a century in South Africa's mammoth first innings total of 516.

Pakistan            204 & 215
South Africa A      516
  
South Africa A won by an innings and 97 runs
 
Man of the match: Garth le Roux

Points

South Africa A - 13 (Win + bonus - 6, Batting - 4, Bowling - 3)
Pakistan - 2 (Loss - 0, Batting - 1, Bowling - 1)

Oh great...you know what? Ken Rutherford not scoring a century there really pissed me off.

Going to do some massive changes and I hope everything gets fine.

Oh great...you know what? Ken Rutherford not scoring a century there really pissed me off.

Then you've obviously never watched him play against a West Indian side. He kinda overperformed with that 38.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Just saw the scorecards of both the matches and I am very pleased! Everyone have done their bit so far and it's just the beginning of this. Hopefully we will carry on this form and keep the momentum going.

India's prospects looked good when Javagal Srinath utterly bamboozled the Australian top order in the first innings. But, a failure to dislodge the ever consistent Bradman and the hard hitting duo of Lindwall and Johnson cost them as 'The Don' and Arthur Morris struck back with a vengeance in the second innings.

Nonetheless, the sight of seeing both Bradman and Tendulkar piling on the runs for their respective teams was one to behold.

Australia B         310 & 375/4d
India               287 & 275

Australia B won by 123 runs

Man of the match: Don Bradman

Points

Australia B - 10 (Win - 5, Batting - 2, Bowling - 3)
India - 4 (Loss- 0, Batting - 2, Bowling - 2)

Then you've obviously never watched him play against a West Indian side. He kinda overperformed with that 38.

Oh well. Never thought of going so deep into stats just for selecting a line-up.

Oh well. Never thought of going so deep into stats just for selecting a line-up.

Actually, I did not know he averaged just 6 against them until after I posted the match, after which I felt like killing myself 'cause he ended up overperforming.

His failures against the West Indian quicks are stuff of legend, even though he was only a youngster at the time who was unfairly thrown to the wolves on his debut series. Simular to Cullinan failing against Warne, Agarkar against Australia, Kohli against England this summer etc. Something a true cricket fanatic cum league manager such as myself needs to know.

The legends of old such as KS Ranjitsinhji and Victor Trumper had their moments, but the match ended on a familiar note with the dominant Australians pulling off a sensational run chase.

Matthew Hayden carried his excellent form from the warm-ups and into this match. A 5-man attack consisting of legendary pacers from the Victorian era were left clueless by the Australian onslaught in the second innings.

While the pitch was clearly underprepared by the groundsman, it was lack of application to go with a couple of questionable selections that hurt West Indies the most. They were ripped apart by the fiery pace of Morne Morkel in the first innings.

In the second, it was the veteran Shaun Pollock who nullified them with his impeccable accuracy. Pollock finished the match with demonic figures of 21-8-16-4, conceding at much less than a run per over. And with Brian Lara failing to score big, the West Indians collapsed yet again to go down by an innings in a depressingly familiar fashion to dark days of the late 1990s.
