Ken Barrington 3 (6b)
run out (Sobers)
They subsequently also lost their top-order rock in the form of Ken Barrington when the former quite foolishly decided to take on Garry Sobers' throwing arm. No finals heroics from him this time. Enter the Don..

5.6 Mahmood to Bradman, FOUR, Who needs Trumper when weve got Don Bradman
End of over 6 (9 runs)

Fazal Mahmood 3.0-0-14-0
Don Bradman 4(1b 1X4)

(R/R: 4.50)
Fazal Mahmood 4.0-0-21-1
Wally Hammond 1(3b)
Don Bradman 9(4b 2X4)
But the joy was shortlived as they lost another in the form of Arthur Morris, their second most consistent run scorer behind only Bradman in the competition. Karachi were well and truly tottering at 36 for 3 after 8 overs, and now had their two best batsmen out in the middle. Can Bradman and Hammond turn it around, or will this turn into another humbling at the hands of PlanetCricket's wily bowling attack.

Don Bradman 22(16b 4X4)
By gods, they nearly had him! Bradman offered a simple chance behind the wicket on 16 off Franklyn Stephenson which was dropped by Ken McEwan. You simply can't afford to drop someone like Bradman at any cost! The perils of not possessing a full-time wicket keeper in your lineup..

As if almost to spite them, Bradman raced to a half-century off just 29 balls - easily his fastest ever in this league. Hammond too was looking good at the other end. Kenneth Scott McEwan, what the hell have you done?!

32.3 Trueman to Harvey, one run, That was a very risky single.
32.4 Trueman to Bradman, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!
32.5 Trueman to Bradman, OUT, Big appeal behind the stumps, umpire gives Don Bradman the finger
Don Bradman 115 (81b 10X4 7X6)
c. McEwan b. Trueman
Trueman finally got him, but not before he had smashed him out of the ground yet again. After a stupendous knock of 115 off just 81 balls, Don Bradman was finally out. McEwan finally held on this time; if only he had done so 99 runs sooner..

Bradman's innings may have ended, but PlanetCricket's torment at the hands of Karchi's batsmen surely hadn't. Clyde Walcott walked out and smashed his first delivery out of the ground, meaning the slaughter was to continue for now.

Having spent all day being carted around by Bradman and Hammond, Trueman was finally swinging things back in PlanetCricket's favor by dismissing the well set pair of Clyde Walcott and Neil Harvey in the 40th over to expose Karachi's tail - in the process bringing up a rather expensive 4-fer for himself to take his tournament wicket tally to 23 to equal the legendary George Lohmann at the very top of the charts. Can they still make it to 300, or will they get bowled out for not too many thereafter?

If Benaud was merely good, Bill Lockwood was simply breathtaking. Another man who had done next to nothing with the bat all tournament suddenly came out and gave PlanetCricket quite a shellacking with a superb 19-ball 33. Benaud finished unbeaten on 34 off 29 at other end; Karachi on a very formidable 334/8 which needless to say will require some chasing. One could go as far ahead to say they might already have on hand on the trophy.

While PlanetCricket looked to have the upper hand initially, Float Woods returned with a vengeance to rip out Garry Sobers and Ken McEwan with his sheer pace. It's all down to Aubrey Faulkner and Franklyn Stephenson now, with PlanetCricket needing a further 82 runs off the last 10 overs with 4 wickets in hand. The latter has a strike rate of nearly 150 in the competition and is renowned for pulling off stunning heists such as this one. But Karachi also crucially have 3 overs remaining from Woods, 2 from Lockwood, 4 from Trumble and 1 from Benaud with their only weak link in Hammond already having bowled out his full quota. This could get interesting.

But interestingly, Hanif Mohammad decided to attack with his two premier strike weapons rather than save them for the last couple of overs of the match which could undoubtedly prove crucial. Lockwood too bowled out his full quota for respectable figures of 10-0-65-2, which were good considering how little assistance bowlers have found from the pitch today. 55 off 36..

His strategy nearly paid dividends with Woods getting Faulkner to nick behind, only for Neil Harvey to fluff it. Man, the catching standards in this match have been nothing short of abysmal! 47 off 30..

Aubrey Faulkner 30(31b 2X4 1X6)
The major flaw in Hanif's strategy was ruthlessly exposed by Aubrey Faulkner, as he was forced to turn to Ken Barrington's part-time legbreaks as a result of Hammond, Benaud and Lockwood all being bowled out, Woods having just one over up his sleeve and Trumble not looking particularly threatening with the ball today. Faulkner, who was looking a tad rusty out in the middle was now looking a lot more assured thanks to a boundary and massive six off Barrington to bring the equation down to a simpler 33 off 24..

A good spell from Float Woods, a bit expensive but picking up some wickets. He was pretty effective with three wickets under his name

Fazal Mahmood 2(3b)
But Hanif continued to back his tactics, and this time it paid off! The big hitting Franklyn Stephenson was bounced out by a venomous delivery from Woods to which he could do little but fend straight back to the bowler. One legendary cricketer to never play for the West Indies had got the other. But crucially for PlanetCricket, this also meant Woods was bowled out after a wonderful spell of 10-0-53-3 and they would now have to contend only with the likes of Trumble and Barrington. Boy do we have a match on our hands! 29 off 18 now..

Faulkner's the man! A six and a four off a struggling Hugh Trumble brought it down to 18 off the final 2 overs, one of which will undoubdetly have to be bowled by Ken Barrington thanks to Hanif's oversight.

Aubrey Faulkner 42(38b 3X4 2X6)
Fazal Mahmood 12(10b 2X4)
Hanif felt a sense of impending doom as he quite reluctantly handed the ball back to Barrington, who all things considered did rather well to concede only 9 off the penultimate over. He was also somewhat fortunate that Fazal Mahmood and not Aubrey Faulkner was the batsman on strike throughout the over.
Its all down to Hugh Trumble now to defend 9 runs off the final over with Mahmood on strike and a superbly in-form Faulkner at the other end.
