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

Hm ... what happened to Arjuna Ranatunga and Aravinda De Silva ?

It was ok if you didn't know that you had such a legend in your squad, but I think not playing a legend for for one to three games in alright, but for more that that....

The unstoppable Australians beat Pakistan for the first time in LAB and by doing so they brought up their 8th consecutive win surpassing the previous record of 7 set by England in Season 1.

Don Bradman was timing the ball as well as ever and even a damp pitch couldn't dampen his spirits as he scored 80 & 62 in the match.​
 
Well the better team won , even England .:rolleyes
 
Oh yes! What a match, really. Sir Don was set the tone for us in the first innings Dennis and co. got the Pakistanis out on 250. The Armstrong-Ponting was crucial which helped up take the lead. There were some sparks here and there from Pakistan batsmen but we managed to bundle them out on a getable score. Clem Hill's quickfire unbeaten 46 saved his berth in the team; if he had failed in this match, he would have been shown the door.
 
Same team for the next match against the Lankans at Perth. Only change being Armstrong will be turning things up instead of his deceptive pace bowling.

A new look New Zealand lineup for the first time in recent memory, competed hard against their opposition but it still wasn't enough to prevent defeat.

The deadly duo of Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh got the better of New Zealand batsmen in both innings and managed to restrict them to a gettable target despite the efforts of Chris Cairns.

Chasing 294, the West Indians started off with a positive mindset and there was little that could be done by Stephen Fleming and his bowlers to stop them.

Clyde Walcott was the most impressive West Indian batsman in the match with a gritty 52 in the first innings where he had to deal with some hostile bowling by the Kiwis. In the second innings he attacked the bowlers and went on to score an aggressive 106 which was significant in West Indies's successful run chase.
 
WOW ! what a fight from Chris Cairns .:thumbs

Waiting for good matches .:)
