Australia beat Rest of the World by a massive margin of 409 runs- the biggest in terms of runs in LAB history.

The margin could have been even bigger had it not been for the brief resistance by Mohammad Shahzad and tailender Carst Posthuma who put up 61 runs for the last wicket.

Victor Trumper helped his team pile up a mountain of runs with two brilliant centuries(105 & 155) in the match.​

Barry Richards's eye catching knock of 101 went in vain as England managed to edge out South Africa by 43 runs.

Billy Bates fared well for England at the no.3 position with cautious knocks. He also bowled his off-breaks well and took two hugely important wickets of Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers in the 2nd innings.​

We could of won it if our top-order batted better in innings two.

 

[Fenil]

What a match for us! Glad to see Don Bradman and Victor Trumper finally finding the form. Dennis bowled great guns while Warwick and Bill looked unplayable in first and second innings respectively. Trumper was the man for us and was ably supported by Don and Ponting who scored his third hundred in as many matches.

 

[Dipak]

South Africa - Round four

Vogler out for Procter.

Kallis out for Mitchell (will bowl)

Both are straight swap,no change in the batting positions.

 

[Dipak]

A run through the stats revelas our bowlers have done well thus far, batsmen are a bit under performing, especially Kallis.

Hopefully, the legendary bowlers will take advantage of the poor wicket while the batsmen put good total on the board with that long batting line-up till #10.
