Day 4, Morning Session


Jack's XI lose early wicket in run chase

Pollock-appeal.jpg

Starting day four Jack's XI knew early wickets would be needed if they are to give themselves a realistic target to chase in the fourth innings. However, despite Muralitharan dismissing Pollock in the fourth over of the day, Flower ensured that his fifty would see C&C's XI make it to the 300 mark. Khan's resolute 7 from 44 balls was ended when he was stumped and Flower was bowled by the man of the moment, Khan, on 59 just four balls later to bring up his five wicket haul. He then took the final wicket of Anderson to finish with figures of 6 for 82 as C&C's XI set Jack's XI a target of 401 for victory. Disaster struck in the tricky six over period before Lunch as Flower was dismissed cheaply once again, trapped LBW by Pollock for just 10. Jack's XI need 367 more runs with nine wickets in hand.

2nd Test @ MCG, Australia
Day 4, Afternoon Session


Smith and Lara bring Jack's XI back into the match


4389436-3x2-700x467.jpg

If ever there was time for a big partnership it was now and thankfully for Jack's XI Smith and Lara provided just that. Coming out after Lunch at 34/1 and still 367 runs short of their target, Lara showed his intent by sending Pollock's first ball to the boundary. At the other end, Smith raced to his fifty in the 14th over off just 43 balls and looked to be winding up for a big score just as he did in the fourth innings in the first Test. No one could have predicted that he would have his century before Lara had reached fifty but that's exactly what happened when he smashed 12 runs off a Williamson over, reaching 106 from 87 balls by the end of the over. Lara passed fifty the very next ball with a single off Akhtar from a far more considered 67 balls. By the end of the session Jack's XI had raced to 199/1 and are now just 202 runs from a historic victory.

Oh! This is exactly what I expected! I reckon Jack's Xi's got this. With Lara and Smith cruising smoothly, and with batting yet to come, they really should win this with ease.
 
2nd Test @ MCG, Australia
Day 4, Evening Session


Three wickets fall but Jack's XI smash their way towards target


Ponting-batting.jpg

After the domination of the afternoon session, Jack's XI looked to continue in the same vein, with reducing the target by as much as they can before the end of the day the obvious goal. However, Smith's magnificent innings ended just three overs into the session when he was spectacularly bowled by Akhtar for 120. Lara's slightly more considered knock of 82 from 113 came to an abrupt end when he chipped up a catch to Anderson off Khan to put Jack's XI three down with 183 left to chase. With Ponting and Tendulkar at the crease the bowlers continued to leak runs, though, and the latter reached fifty from just sixty balls. However, Tendulkar was sent packing seven balls later, Akhtar again the bowler to strike. Just before the close of play Ponting reached fifty, the fourth Jack's XI batsman to do so in the innings, as his team closed the day 327/4 and just 74 runs away from their target.

Jack's XI come through late collapse to take victory


Wasim-Akram.jpg

Starting the final day with just 74 runs to get and six wickets in hand, supporters of Jack's XI would have been hoping victory would come without a scare but that was far from what unfolded. Ponting and Rahim continued in the same vein as the previous night and reduced the target to just 31 when Rahim departed for 21, trapped LBW by Anderson. Ponting smashed back-to-back boundaries off Anderson to reduce the target to 10 but was caught by Williamson the very next ball as he looked to finish things quickly. This sparked panic amongst the Jack's XI lower order and Hadlee was sent packing four balls later. Khan managed one run before being bowled by Akhtar to leave C&C's XI needing just two wickets after taking three for just one run in a 17-ball period. However, following a wide, a four from Akram put Jack's Xi within touching distance and after a single at the end of the over he then dispatched Khan to the boundary to secure victory. After two incredibly tense Test matches Jack's XI lead 1-0 with a trip to Eden Gardens up next.

Carl & Cozzy Test XI
                    399 & 303
Jack's Test XI      301 & 402/8             
  
Jack's Test XI won by 2 wickets
 
Man of the match: Rashid Khan (JAC)
 
What a match! Nail biting. TBH, I had expected that Jack’s XI would lose.
 
Re-downloaded the simulator and still having the same issues with sixes. Do you think you could upload your TESTCRIC.EXE file so I can test it using that?
Sorry for the late reply, I've only logged in just now.

I've attached my version of the sim, if you still have this problem with this then maybe you can try re-installing DosBox?

Sadly sixes still aren't counting to the score with your .exe file either. Will have to re-install DosBox and see if that solves it.
