[B]Bowling:[/B] Australia- 4, South Africa- 2

The Australian juggernaut continued as they bettered their comprehensive victory in Round 3 to an even more comprehensive win, this time over the defending champions South Africa. They won by an unbelievable 415 runs.

Don Bradman, the Australian captain made batting on a bowler-friendly wicket look ridiculously easy amassing centuries in both innings at a very healthy strike rate.

[Fenil]

Well, with the greatest batsman in test cricket history in that sort of form, there is little the fielding team can do but despite Don's blitzkrieg, Mike Procter's bowling figures were stand out for the African team which remained the only high point in the match for them.

Now, with Windies on the cards, I hope that we would continue the form and beat the out of form Calypsos because if with this sort of form and team that we have, we don't beat them, then it will be shame for us.

 

[Sulaiman7]

Not happy with low scoring , first innings made the difference .

 

[Dipak]

That's embarrassing. :/

Zimbabwe owned New Zealand for the first half of the match but were unable to pull of a surprise win when the Kiwi batsmen batted long and hard to ensure a draw much to the relief of their team.

Richard Hadlee who bowled 33 tireless overs to take 3 wickets in Zimbabwe's first innings played an even more important role with the bat to help his team draw the match.​

What a risky move to put your best batsman at no.8 .

 

[Gaurav_7]

You seriously can't rest your big players against a side like England! Jeff Dujon seriously? I played him only once, I think that was against SL or Zim last time round. You need to put some thinking behind all this.

WI actually have no use for Dujon in LAB. Just a waste of space in the squad because Walcott is already a legendary batsman and can keep. Maybe an extra batsman like Seymour Nurse/Conrad Hunte or an all-rounder like Learie Constantine could have come in..

No, I always like to have 2 WKs. Even if this is just a sim. But, he surely shouldn't be in the XI apart from one match to get over that rule.

 

[Fenil]

I'm with Gaurav. I too prefer to have two WKs as I can field the other one if the preferred choice player isn't doing well. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any able batting keeper that is capable enough to be drafted into the side in which even McGrath couldn't find a place.
