MCC XI vs ROW XI

"MCC XI vs ROW XI : Match Preview"
July 4, 2014

One of the key matches of this season has arrived - the epic battle between legends will commence in less than a day's time and the intensity around the match is impeccable.

People have already started naming this the "Grudge Match" - where Warne and Tendulkar will fight it out to be THE ultimate champion.

That's for the talks around, let's get a little analytic, starting off with tomorrow's weather.

Weather

​

The match will be played tomorrow i.e. Saturday. Thankfully, it'll be clear skies with no chances of rain. Moderate wind will blow through the ground but that's always expected in England, isn't it!

Apart from that, the weather looks perfect for a great game of cricket.

Key Battles
​

This is the part where every fan should focus upon - the key battles. By now, we all know the key battles but for the sake of it, let's just name them.

Warne vs Tendulkar : Starting out with the most obvious and most keenly followed battle of world cricket - the best leg spinner will take on arguably the greatest batsman that this game has seen.

Sehwag vs Lee : Lee's pace and Sehwag's hand-eye coordination, we don't need any thunderstorms, we've these 2 to blister the ground with fire.

Dravid vs Muralitharan : The smiling assassin will take on the wall from India - a battle of patience which you must not miss.

Brian Lara vs Tino Best : Who can forget Lara's crispy shots through the off-side and those stylish pulls on the leg-side, standing on one leg. He will be challenged by his own country-men, Best, whose pace might just prove to be a little tough to handle for Lara.
