Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Ready for action?

lost the match by innings still Muralitharan is the man of the man. Legend for a reason.
We batted really poor
 
An awesome start to the English campaign. Win by an innings will surely help us in the end if we get any slip ups.

New Zealand went down by a big margin, but Stephen Fleming and Daniel Vettori entertained nonetheless.

Ooh, pretty humiliating loss, that. Hadlee bowled good in the first innings, disappointing batting card in the first innings, but playing against the Windies, this was expected. Maybe we lacked a good batsman down the tail. I see Baz coming in the next game.

Round 2 fixtures

Sri Lanka v New Zealand at Colombo

- Decade: 2000s
- Pitch: Slow turning wicket. Conditions ideal for batsmen and spinners.



India v West Indies at Bombay

- Decade: 1950s
- Pitch: Batting-friendly. A bit of turn on offer, but not all that much.


Pakistan v South Africa at Multan

- Decade: 1990s
- Pitch: Excellent for batting. Spinners are expected to play a key role for both sides.


England v Australia at Lord's

- Decade: 1890s
- Pitch: Sticky and uncovered wicket. Very difficult to bat on.


Round 2 lineups please. You'll have to wait a bit for the stats though.

Off all Englishmen, the nature of the wicket bothered Len Hutton the least.

Victor Trumper and Allan Border put up a sticky wicket batting masterclass. They batted together for more than 80 overs and left England's bowlers quite exhausted in the end.

After spending more than 140 overs on the field, England were clearly not up to the task of facing Keith Miller and Bill O'Reilly.

A fairly straightforward chase of 72 was made to look ten times more difficult by an inspirational fightback from the English bowlers. Keith Miller eventually hit the winning runs to prevent a massive shock from occurring.

Phew thats a close win. We should have chased 73 without any trouble but pitch made it really difficult.
Crashing England like this on their home soil is tremendous. Well played legends.
