Round 2 Preview

Game 5: Australia vs New Zealand, Melbourne Cricket Ground

Both sides go into this Trans-Tasman contest after contrasting results in their opening fixture. Australia overcame their Ashes foes in a tight contest at the home of cricket while even though well beaten on the score-card the Kiwis did put up a strong show in the Mumbai dustbowl in India. A fairly dry but hard surface was expected for this MCG contest, so the quicks will be expected to enjoy bowling on that wicket. But given their overall strennght in all department plus home advantage Australia would be favourites to overcome their neighbours in this contest.

Australia (probable): Simpson, Hayden, Bradman, Chappell, Waugh, Miller, Gilchrist, Lindwall, Warne, Lillee, McGrath.

New Zealand (probable): Turner, Dempster, Sutcliffle, Crowe, Donnelly, Reid/Vettori, Cairns, Hadlee, Smith, Bond, Cowie.

Game 6: India All-time vs England All-time, Eden Gardens, Kolkatta

After overcoming the hard-working Kiwis in their opening fixture, the Indians go into their second key home fixture againts the Englishmen hoping that a combination of a blazing hot atmosphere, deafening crowd, dustbowl of pitch & a quartet of world-class spinners would be enough to overcome England who historically have had their problems againts quality spin. India presumably will go into this game unchanged while England have called up surrey great off-spinner Jim Laker and left Syd Barnes at home so him along with Wilfred Rhodes should provide the spin option for England while Kevin Pietersen could be inline for a pick due to his excellent play against the spinners instead of stonewaller Ken Barrington.

India (probable): Gavaskar, Merchant, Dravid, Tendulkar, Hazare, Mankad, Dev, Kirmani, Kumble, Bedi, Prasanna.

England (probable): Hutton, Hobbs, Hammond, Compton, Barrington/Pietersen, Stewart, Botham, Rhodes, Trueman, Laker, Snow.

Game 7: Pakistan vs West Indies, National Stadium Karachi

A titantic battle in the making. With two of the most lethal pace-attacks of all-time facing off the batsmen on both sides even though laced with class and greatness will have their courage put the test, but as a popular West Indian saying goes ``the faster they come the faster they go`` one would expect the legendary Windies batting-lineup to fight fire with fire againts the lethal Pakistani pace attack. Given that Pakistan are at home & have prepared a quick but dry surface one would have to give them a slight advantage, but i guess that will mean little when the first ball is bowled.

Pakistan (probable): Anwar, Mohammad, Abbas, Miandad, Inzamam, Imran Khan, Latif, Wasim, Qadir, Akhtar, Waqar.

West Indies (probable): Hunte, Greenidge, Lara, Headley, Richards, Sobers, Dujon, Marshall, Holding/Gibbs, Garner, Ambrose.

Game 8: Sri Lanka vs South Africa, Galle International Stadium, Sri Lanka

After the trouncing they suffered in the West Indies, the Sri Lanka's will be hoping a combination of home advantage, the Murali factor & South Africa's traditional weakness againts spin count for something in this clash. With a very slow wicket expected Sri Lanka are lively to call-up Samochandra De Silva to partner Murali & Jayasuriya while leg-spin all-rounder Aubrey Faulkner has been drafted into the Springbooks squad for this test.

Sri Lanka (probable): Jayasuriya, Atapattu, Dias, A De Silva, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Ranatunga, Vaas, S De Silva, Muralitharan, Malinga.

South Africa (probable): Mitchell, Richards, Kallis, G Pollock, Nourse, Rice, Lindsay, Procter, Faulkner, Tayfield, Donald.

[Ikki]

Thanks Aussie, I love this stuff. Man of the match performance by Miller against NZ all-time.

Miller: Ball ( 4/51, 18.3 overs = Avg. 12.75 SR 27.75 ) Bat ( 141 runs @ 64 SR ).

 

[JBH001]

Thanks Aussie, I like Kazo really like this stuff. Makes me tingle just to think of it!

Edit/ Man, got to love the Pak/WI/Aus fast bowling attacks! Just awesome!

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

SA vs Pak a tied match, you don't see that everyday.

Another South African choke, needing 5 to win with 3 wickets in hand.

 

[Dasa]

Guessing those manual adjustments involved using this scorecard?

 

[aussie]

well yea, given that simulating 31 games the way adarcric & co did in the Australia/Windies series is a bit tedious so i did it half simulated half edited & it would still give a good imaginary encounter. I hope its not a problem?

 

[shortpitched713]

Sports entertainment Dasa.

FFS.

 

[NUFAN]

Just wondering for the India and NZ match how much time was left in the match?

490+ overs were bowled in that match. It should have been a draw IMO, even with a good amount of spinners playing.

 

[silentstriker]

Very happy with India drawing against England - their bowling attack is absolutely nothing to sneeze at and the batting contains guys like Hobbs, etc. Unfortunately, the game was in India so I have a feeling we could have gotten more out of the game and possibly won it.

I am approaching the overseas games with some trepidation, as I think the selectors might get it wrong and select too many spinners. Would like to see Nissar and Amar Singh get a game in addition to Dev and one of the spinners. Bedi needs to be dropped for overseas matches and replaced with a spinner with a better record.

490 overs is a massive amount we was robbed.

 

[shortpitched713]

98 overs per day. Totally doable imo, and I'm glad they're finally cracking down.

 

[silentstriker]

It's not our fault that both teams went through their overs fast. And the way you are treating Hadlee, he isn't going to have an arm left by the end of the series. If you really want to blame someone, blame your batting - the spinners took 18 wickets in the match...completely inept display of batting against spin.

Of course, on our side, when your greatest bowler can't stop a 242 run partnership and a double century from one of our middle order players in the first innings - you have no one but yourself to blame.

Blame no one as its a simulation personally.

Sure, or you can admit that Hadlee is a green top bully. And what happened to all that fire Shane Bond was sprouting about Indians not being able to handle him - looks like you all might've been better with him in the ambulance as usual.

On the other hand, I am quite afraid of the upcoming Perth pitch. Leave it to those evil Aussies to prepare a death trap of a pitch at Perth. Our spinners will have to use the bounce exceedingly well and Kapil Dev must get early wickets or it will be a slaughter.
