Chris Gayle^
Malcolm Marshall^
Garry Sobers^
Vivian Richards^
Curtly Ambrose^
Clyde Walcott+
Courtney Walsh^
George Headley
Frank Worrell^
Everton Weekes
Michael Holding ^
If a top-order batsman like Headley, Weekes, Worrell etc are put below no 7, I count them as injured and only 1/4th of their rating remains intact then. New Zealand suffered the same thing when Andrin put Crowe, Sutcliffe so low down. So lets see how you fare in the semis because it looks like a cakewalk for the strong English team now.

The Australians started off in style going 'bang bang bang' in the first 3 overs of the match where they scored 30 runs putting huge pressure on South Africa's bowlers.
However, they soon recovered with a double strike removing Bill Ponsford and Victor Trumper in the space of just 6 balls.
The well set Don Bradman was joined at the crease by Clem Hill. Together they played some extravagant shots and stitched up a partnership of 176 in just 217 balls to put Australia back on top.
Bradman brought up yet another ton, his 5th of the season but was soon caught at slip by Barry Richards off the bowling of Jacques Kallis.
The in-form Ricky Ponting came out to the middle but lasted just 2 balls as an inside edge off an attempted drive by him struck the stumps gifting Allan Donald a wicket.
'Big' Warwick Armstrong joined Hill in the middle and he declared hs intentions clearly promptly hitting Donald for six the very first delivery he received.
Hill brought up his ton with a stylish square drive which rocketed to the fence fetching him 4 runs.
He and Armstrong put up 172 runs for the 5th wicket. With Australia set for a huge first innings total at 403 with 6 wickets remaining, South Africa bounced back.
Neil Adcock removed Armstrong for 85 and not too long later he accounted for the dangerous Adam Gilchrist for just 13 when he caught a mistimed straight drive off his own bowling.
Shaun Pollock who had a tough time getting hit for boundaries in the early part of the match was brought back into the attack and repaid the faith shown by his captain by bowling over Hill with a beauty which hit the top of off. Hill departed for 162 to a standing ovation by the crowd.
After his departure Procter and Adcock removed the last three batsmen cheaply as the Australian innings folded with 441 on the board as they lost their last 6 wickets for just 38 runs. They scored at over 4 an over as they took advantage of South Africa's very South African tactic of using 4 fast bowlers and omitting their specialist spinner.
SA's 1st innings to be posted in a while.

Sir 'John Berry' is the captain now. At least he's not an apple that keeps the doctor away.
