Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Round 1 - What happens when you hide the new ball from Sydney Frickin' Barnes..

Dennis Lillee :down:
Hugh Trumble :up:
 
Great batting in those conditions and good to see Bart King confirm his place as one of the great bowlers of all time. Can I bring Ilikena Bula, Steve Tikolo and Clem Gibson in for Ryan ten Doeschate, Percy Clark and Ole Mortensen, thanks

On a day like this, nobody could really match up to the mighty Bart King. Nobody except Victor Trumper.

George Patterson held firm from one end while his team-mates fell cheaply around him. Owing to his knock of 75, ROTW were able to muster a slender 24-run first innings lead over Australia.

ROTW never really tried going for the runs, instead relying on another Patterson blockathon to help draw the match. It wasn't to be, with Hugh Trumble ripping out four batsmen in quick time and the last man in being comically run out by Charles Turner. Australia brought up a reassuring 72-run victory despite being given quite a scare by their unheralded non-Test peers.

Nevertheless, Bart King who finished the match with 11 wickets to his name could hold his head up high after one of the greatest bowling displays in the league's history.

Was very impressed at our ability to go toe to toe with Australia for large parts of that match. And as for the King of Swing, that's gotta be up there with his 13/115 against Sussex in '97.

In the next game can I bring Aitchison in for Tikolo and move him up to 3, and Clark back in for Gibson and moved to 9. Thanks

It was perhaps only fitting for Everton Weekes and Clyde Walcott, two legends of Barbados cricket, to post a 209-run partnership for the 5th wicket whilst scoring their respective centuries at the Kensington Oval. West Indies finished with a very impressive first innings total of 469 despite the Bangladeshi bowlers impressing in patches.

Shakib Al Hasan was the only Bangladeshi to withstand the West Indies' fiery five-strong pace attack featuring Curtly Ambrose, Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall, Courtney Walsh and Learie Constantine. He battled on for a gutsy unbeaten 80 off 186 balls as Bangladesh were forced to follow on after being 240 runs in arrears at the end of their first innings.

Bangladesh did just about enough to make the West Indies bat again by posting 297. Shakib scored his second fifty of the match, but it was Mahmudullah who impressed this time with a stroke filled 85 off 143 balls. This left the West Indies a fairly straightforward 58 to chase down.

Regardless of what pitch or era he played in, Barry Richards proved himself a true master of the art of batsmanship. He scored an astonishing 116 on one of the worst wickets for batting one could ever hope to come across.

If not for the fighting efforts of Dave Houghton and Heath Streak, Zimbabwe may not have even made it past three figures. Shaun Pollock proved unplayable during his spell claiming 4 for 16 from 14.2 overs.

Heath Streak added 6 more wickets to his tally after having claimed 5 in the first innings. Despite getting little support from the other end, he was almost single-handedly leading Zimbabwe's bowling efforts. They had been set a very intimidating 288 by South Africa with more than 2 days remaining in the match.

Shaun Pollock claimed 6 for 30 to rout them for 122, finishing the match with astonishing Lohmann-esque bowling figures of 29.1-12-46-10 across both innings. Still, it was Heath Streak who was named Player of the Match for his 11 wickets along with scores of 36 and 20 despite losing the match.

Well played but I think our batting could have been better. And I don't know why Dale Steyn is failing!

Only two New Zealanders could make it past 30 with Muttiah Muralitharan bowling better than ever. John Reid looked the most comfortable of the lot with 40 off 66 balls, standing head and shoulders above his team-mates when the going got tough as he had done so often during his career.

Centuries from Jack Hobbs and Ken Barrington buried them under a huge lead of 543. With a little more than a day remaining in the Test, their best hope was to bat for a draw.

Pakistan replied with an impressive 420, after having been reduced to 306/8 at one stage. Their captain Imran Khan led a fearless charge in the lower-order with only tailenders to keep him company and scored a century. His effort inspired Sarfraz Nawaz at No 10 to score a fifty of his own.

You can't have a Test match at the Eden Gardens without Rahul Dravid raising his bat at least once. He did just that, putting behind a first innings golden duck to score 128 off 246 balls. Sachin Tendulkar, with whom he added 195 runs for the 3rd wicket recorded his second century of the match. But India's approach was rather conservative with them taking all means to avoid defeat rather than push for a victory. It showed in their late declaration which came only in the early hours of the 5th day's play, leaving Pakistan a 352-run target but with a little more than two sessions remaining in the match.
