MATCH SUMMARY

India               167 & 129
Australia           462
   
Australia won by an innings and 166 runs
  
Man of the match: Ricky Ponting

POINTS

Australia- 6
India- 0

[B]Batting:[/B] India- 0, Australia- 4
[B]Bowling:[/B] India- 2, Australia- 4

India were thoroughly outplayed in all departments by a rampaging Australian side who won their seventh in as many matches.

Ricky Ponting played his best knock of the season scoring 136, his fifth century in Season 3 and kept the scoreboard ticking right till the last wicket.​

 

[Sulaiman7]

Well played Graeme Pollock, Ricky Ponting and the mighty Vivian Richards

 

[Fenil]

Now thats how its done! Completely dominant over the subcontinent giants. This victory will boost our position in the points table further up.

I'd like to mention something by the way, India manager's move to remove Nadkarni on a poor wicket did surprised me. Not that he could have been a huge difference in this sort of match but still Nadkarni could have been easy on the rank turner. Also, I wonder what made him select the likes of Nazir Ali against the table toppers?

Change your strategy pal. I could help you set the lineup as you're new with legends as it appears. I'm a fan of New Zealand cricket and don't like to see them get thumped the way they are getting ATM.

The match seemed to be headed for a draw with just 5 overs remaining till stumps and Wally Hammond batting alongside George Lohmann. However, Pakistan had other plans and Abdul Razzaq removed Hammond, Waqar Younis knocked over Lohmann and then finally Sydney Barnes was out caught off the bowling of Wasim Akram playing a rash shot.

Pakistan beat their LAB rivals England which also brought up their first win in Season 3, a consolation after a disappointing start to the tournament.

Wally Hammond scored a scintillating 174 off 206 balls batting at no 8 in the first innings to bring England back from the dead when they were stuttering at 128 for 6. He scored a quickfire 51 as well in the second innings and proved his usefulness with the ball by picking 2 wickets each in both innings. Unfortunately for him, England's defeat meant his effort went in vain. His show with the bat raised questions why he was batting so low down the order.​

Pakistan are England's nemesis, aren't they?

Very pleased by our performance. The team was fantastic as a whole!

Lineup coming tomorrow.

 

[Fenil]

Australia to go unchanged for the next match against another subcontinent giant, probably a touch less formidable than India, and my ex-team, Pakistan. Hoping to beat them on a rank turner.
