Final

Australia v West Indies at Lord's

The match will be timeless, i.e 9 days in length to limit the possibility of a draw. If it's still drawn, the team able to secure a first-innings lead will be declared the winner. If that's tied too, it'll go down to the head-to-head record for the season.

Stumps, Day 2

PCA · Jun 23, 2015

We need to bounce back strongly on day 3.
We need to wrap the tail quickly and should be aiming to score at least 500.

Aislabie · Jun 24, 2015

That's a brilliant way to finish the day; I was wondering whether Sobers would go full-Misbah through the tournament, but fortunately enough he has got three figures at last, ably supported by Dujon and Holding.

The going has been slow because I'm currently busy conducting the PCPL star player auctions. I shall try to post Day 3 tomorrow or the day after if possible.

Stumps, Day 3

PCA · Jul 1, 2015

Things doesn't look good for us.
We need to bat as long as possible and should dismiss West Indies for less than 200.

Aislabie · Jul 2, 2015

A really good day for the Windies after an apparently poor declaration from Worrell. All the same, we need a lead of 100+ here, so best get the wicket quickly

VC the slogger · Jul 4, 2015

The fourth day should be up by tomorrow I think. Next time, I'm simply going to post the final like I post the group games. This all ends up being too time consuming for me.
