^Just completed the Australian reply and won comfortably with 5 wickets in hand.Playing an ODI between Bangladesh and Australia, pitch is dusty with uneven bounce.
Bangladesh batting first and started off really badly, was 120/6 before Tamim & Rahman conjured up a 126 run partnership to take them to 248/8 off their 50 overs.
Scored a hard fought century with Tamim Iqbal off 134 balls
But the game was marred by Shane Watson being controversially given out on 98 just like Sean Williams against Ireland the other night.

In reality that shouldn't be given out because the fielder crossed the boundary and then came in to take the catch which would be given not out...
And the old rivalry between you and almost getting a century continues...
Note:I am yet to score a century on the PC version...

It would be nice for such to be in the game, and for Big Ant to find or implement a review upstairs to check if the catch was taken inside the rope.
I had such an instance when I was playing with a friend offline, he need 10 runs from 2 balls with 2 wickets in hand, he thought he had a SIX to be caught in a similar fashion, I was so happy for the wicket, while he was distraught that the game robbed him. If we get a chance to review these, it would be nice and rewarding

But considering the game currently just ignores front foot no balls during BARS, I wouldn't hold much hope.

Rebel League Match 2 Continued - Australia Rebel Xi v South Africa XI
Jimmy Cook and the great Barry Richards opened for the South Africans, responding to Australia's 275/6.
Rod Hogg and Terry Alderman opened the bowling, and restricted South Africa to just 17 runs in the first 6 overs. Bowling well, the pressure told and Cook edged Hogg to Kim Hughes at second slip and went for 10 off 20 balls.
Peter Kirsten joined Richards at the wicket. It seemed strange that Hughes replaced the wicket taker Hogg to bring on McCurdy, but it paid immediate dividends as Kirsten edged to Steve Rixon behind the stumps giving McCurdy a wicket with just his third ball and sending Kirsten back to the pavilion for just 3 runs. South Africa were 2 down for 27.
Graham Pollock joined Richards, two of South Africa's greats looking to rebuild. At the 10 over stage, the score was just 28/2.
Spinner Trevor Hohns soon replaced Alderman, and as with the earlier bowling change this one also worked right away - Richards misreading the spin and being LBW for 14 off 34 balls. The score was now 31 for 3.
Lawrence Seef joined Pollock, with the South African's in real trouble. Things appeared to get worse with the score on 37 as McCurdy cleaned up Pollock's stumps, and there was great relief to see the umpire signal a no-ball: the potential of 37/4 was only 38/3.
Seef and Pollock slowly rebuilt, and though Pollock was the more fluent of the two, Seef broke the shackles with a lovely cover drive off Hohns to beat the extra cover fielder and pick up a welcome boundary.
Boundaries were hard to come by but with Australia attacking there were plenty of gaps in the field and Pollock and Seef were able to find plenty of ones and twos to lift the pressure and move the score along. Pollock was the quicker scoring of the two, and was in the 30s when the two brought up their 50 partnership off 66 balls with the score now 82/3.
With South Africa beginning to look more comfortable, it was a surprise when Pollock chipped a tame shot to Wessels to give McCurdy his second wicket. Pollock was out for 37 off 51 balls and South Africa were 91/4 and still in a precarious position.
Clive Rice came to wicket and was almost gone as soon as he came, surviving a big shout for LBW off his first ball and edging his second ball but seeing it not carry to slip. Emboldened by this liberation, Rice chose to counter attack hitting all of the bowlers around the park. At the 30 over stage South Africa had moved to 124/4 with Rice already on 26 from 23 and almost caught up with Seef.
The 50 partnership came up shortly after, with Rice contributing 39 and though Rice slowed down a bit in the 40s and Seef hit a couple of 4s off Alderman, Rice was the first of the two to go to his 50 - the landmark coming up off just 43 balls.
Seef joined Rice in passing his half century shortly after. With the end of the day approaching, Seef seemed to be playing for stumps whereas Rice continued to look to score quickly.
Shortly before the close, the 100 partnership was brought up off 108 balls.
As with the night before, the rain came in at the end of the day but this time no overs were lost. Stumps was reached with South Africa exactly halfway through their innings, at 197/4 off 45 overs. Rice was 70* off 63, and Seef a more sedate 59 off 101.
Australia will rue the life given to Pollock when he was bowled off a no ball, and particularly the edge that didn't carry of Rice. Rice's innings certainly changed the momentum of the day, when Australia was definitely on top.
The match is finely balanced: South Africa, having two well set batsman, 6 wickets in hand and 45 overs left, will be looking to build a big lead; at the same time Australia will feel early wickets on day 3 can still see them well in the game.

1st match vs Delhi Daredevils
1st Innings (Daredevils)
Started off pretty slow, and after bowling 33 overs, we had the Daredevils at 4/71
Thinking that this would become a problem, as they would not score much, I decided to simulate the rest of the innings,
so that they would at least put up a sort of good fight. They ended up getting 10/369 after 120.5 overs, with K. Pietersen
smacking 168 from 223 balls.
Glad I did the sim.
Leading by 62 runs, we are heading out for our 2nd innings.

1st match vs Delhi Daredevils
2nd Innings (Titans)
The team decided that playing the traditional "defensive" style of a test match, would not be in order, and after a few overs, everyone just started smacking the ball around as often as possible. At some point, the cameras overheard F. Du Plessis and AB De Villiers saying to each other "These fielders keep leaving it open. And when we block, they move in even more, something must have broken in their brains, let's smack the **** out of these balls".
Titans ended on 10/344, giving them a 406 run lead, and chances of the Daredevils catching up seems slim.
Up next, is the 2nd innings of the Daredevils.
