A big thank you at this point to Rob Cribb for entering the data and running the sim.

Viv Richards becomes the first batsman to have been caught by the non-striker.

Staff side looked much better than the Forum side.

Winner should play the mods imo.

I can see Sinclair making this side if the others aren't quick enough to veto PEWS and I.

 

[Spikey]

settles Muralitharan v Warne imo

 

[fredfertang]

I blame Nass for the staff's defeat - either he didn't explain Murali's doosra to Hobbs or if he did he did so in such "colourful" language that The Master couldn't bring himself to listen

 

[Cabinet96]

settles Muralitharan v Warne imo

 

[Himannv]

Gun report. Extremely well written and a good idea.

 

[chasingthedon]

why is wasim akram present in both teams?

The same reason Brian Lara is. Discussed in the pre-amble.

Gun report. Extremely well written and a good idea.

Cheers Cevno.

I am generally not a big fan of CWeb features or cricket sims but I enjoyed the article as it told the story well. In the same way I don't like Clarkson or cars but I love 'Top Gear.' For me, this article shouldn't have worked but it did as it was well crafted.

Cheers to Dave-- The Jeremy Clarkson of CricketWeb

Some say I'm composed entirely from the gummy substance you find between your toes after a bath, and I blink in time with AC/DC's "Highway to Hell (live)".

Cheers Goughy.
