What a thrilling finish to test world championship! I am still shaking!
 
WI AUS thriller test.jpg Finally had a test match go to the last session, and boy, what a tense match this turned out to be! It was a dry and medium wicket, so the batsmen from both teams had fun. Drama unfolded in the 2nd innings where I was left to get 429 in about 95-96 overs. I reduced the requirement to 399 on the last day and was playing for a draw during the 1st session of Day 5. Since I only lost 1 wicket during session 1, I thought about accelerating during the 2nd session. It cost me 4-5 wickets, and I was pushed to the backfoot again. With one session to go and 90-95 runs required, I was 7 down thanks to some quality bowling. 40 runs, 3 wickets and 15 overs to go--any result was possible. Luckily, the WI lower order kept patience and swung the bat only to the rare wide deliveries, getting boundaries all around the park. We cruised home with 5 overs and the last wicket to spare. Phew!


Difficulty: Legend AI, hard batting, hard bowling, hardest fielding


Other notable mentions:


Stumped the aggressive Gilchrist

Bowled Ponting out as he came down the wicket to hit me over the top

Caught Steve Waugh at deep Midwicket, this being my 2nd outfield catch


Keep enjoying cricket!
 
Best match I've ever played I think. 300 not, couple of wickets. World Cup. Bang. Difficulty: Hardeset. AI: Veteren. With some custom settings as well.

Even in the digital domain, South Africa just can't get over the world cup semi-final hurdle. Personally, took a career best 4-25 including a rare C&B.
