Not for the first time in his career, it was Kevin Pietersen who stood up to a mighty bowling attack while other illustrious names around him failed. He put up 177 for the 5th wicket alongside Ian Botham, as the pair scored half of Europe's first innings runs.

Don Bradman scored 104 in lone resistance for Oceania. The rest of the lineup failed miserably, with no one being able to cross 25. It was quite understandable given the way Sydney Barnes was bowling.

Dennis Lillee did with the ball for Oceania what Bradman did for them with the bat. Nine of the ten wickets to fall were his in a truly legendary spell. However, Oceania were given a rather daunting 392 to chase thanks to Alan Knott adding a crucial 60-odd runs with the tail.

[Umair7]

Oh Dear the misery continues

 

[Aislabie]

We very nearly did enough to beat the Africans, but to be undone twice by such a threadbare bowling attack is pretty criminal.

 

[themusketeer]

A win to start the proceedings, Nice. Kevin played a crucial part in first otherwise we wont be able to get a lead which we got. Barnes and co were fantastic in both innings and they played a crucial part in beating them with such a margin. It will boost our confidence. Way to Go.

 

[Gaurav_7]

With so many great batsmen in both the sides plus a flat surface, a draw was on the cards. We bowled really well in the first innings to restrict them to that score. But, the result would never be possible on such a track. Happy to get out of the match with more points than them.

 

[PCA]

We could have done much better.
Our bowling is capable of taking 20 wickets in no time. So there is nothing to worry about for us.
