[SixerBoy11]

A much needed victory for us. After top order failure in 1st innings lower order helped us to to cross 300. Then a great show by our bowlers. A great start from batsmen in 2nd innings & put a huge total. In the end bowlers strike once again.

Hats off to Dudley Nourse.

India's decision to field turned out to be a pretty good one. Australia were bowled out in a little over two sessions, and might not have made it past 200 if it wasn't for Richie Benaud.

India's first innings was much better in contrast to Australia's. Their captain Sourav Ganguly led from the front with an unbeaten 116, while Dravid and Laxman scored half-centuries.

Bishan Singh Bedi went for some runs, but managed to pick up 7 wickets. It completed a rather expensive ten-wicket match haul for him. Meanwhile, India were closing in on victory with just 193 to chase.

India initially had their hopes up when the usually restrained Rahul Dravid went berserk. But Australia fought back brilliantly and managed to keep their opponents just nine short of the target set for them.

Australia           253 & 328
India               389 & 183
  
Australia won by 9 runs
 
Man of the match: Richie Benaud (Australia)

[PCA]

We were simply outstanding.
The spin trio of Warne, Reilly and Benaud were too good for India.

With Javed Miandad batting the way he was, it seemed Pakistan would pile on another total in excess of 400. A spirited fightback from England engineered by Wilfred Rhodes saw the next 7 Pakistani wickets fall at the expense of just 78 runs.

Chasing down 403 was never a realistic goal with just 44 overs remaining. Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe decided to pass the time by putting up a batting masterclass for the crowd.

WEST INDIES XI to face Australia

Gordon Greenidge
Frank Worrell (SPIN)
George Headley
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
Garry Sobers (SPIN)
Rohan Kanhai
Michael Holding
Andy Roberts
Curtly Ambrose
Tony Gray

The top seven pretty much selected itself: five men have scored centuries, while Greenidge and Sobers have also been very impressive. The seam attack was trickier - Holding, Roberts and Ambrose all demanded selection, but the fourth place could have gone to anyone. In the end, Tony Gray is handed the responsibility after only one appearance in the round robin.
