Transfers Window Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Late action is still better than no action at all

was this the same sri lankan batting, which failed before.....batting was awesome this time. bowlers had hard time this match
 
Well, no change for this game. I'll likely give some of the fringe players a go against Sri Lanka though.

Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh had to patch things up for Australia after they were rattled early by Shane Bond. Not surprisingly, Bond had saved his best bowling analysis of the season for the Aussies.

It was too simple a target for the mighty West Indians. Thus ended South Africa's remote chances of finishing among the top four.

Same old story ! We were behind on 1st innings scores , not by much but we were. our batsmen except few they again disappointed us.
 
An excellent victory against the South Africans, time to give our star players a bit of a rest ahead of the playoffs.

Round 7 fixtures

West Indies v Sri Lanka at Bourda

- Decade: 1980s
- Pitch: Generally tends to favor batsmen more than bowlers.



New Zealand v South Africa at Wellington

- Decade: 1930s
- Pitch: Evenly balanced. Good for both pace and spin bowling.


India v Australia at Delhi

- Decade: 1990s
- Pitch: Spin-friendly. Fast bowlers and batsmen expected to have it rough.


Pakistan v England at Lahore

- Decade: 1980s
- Pitch: Lot on offer for spinners and batsmen.
