Bracken having a shocker & the AI almost binning it for KK by needlessly bowling Astle. Australia fail to do what Australia A did, worrying signs for harsh.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Lol Nathan Bracken being more expensive than Lee.

 

[harsh.ag]

Well well well. Big man destroys batting. Not completely unexpected.

Ponting and Gilly are having an ordinary tournament.

 

[honestbharani]

I am more interested in how the AI thinks Mark Waugh should bat 7 and Hussey at the top.

That was all me actually. Was trying something out.

 

[honestbharani]

aaah.. come on harsh.. u r better than that You could have had Twatto to open if you wanted to try Jr. in the middle order.

 

[jimmy101]

Don't think randy has posted his XI yet for round 2. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon.

Haynes's big stride couldnt handle Pathan's in swinging bowling, it seems.

Nice. I'm visualising that now.

That, and Glenn McGrath hitting Nathan Astle for a 6.

Round 2

India vs Pakistan - Eden Gardens, Kolkata

India

Pakistan

India won by 13 runs

Man of the match: Ravindra Jadeja

Points: IND 2, PAK 0

 

[jimmy101]

Pakistan establishing themselves as vulnerable early on. I'll be looking forward to when they turn it around, predictably, only for them to, even more predictably, lose all focus in the final moments.

Huge credit to India though, Kapil was in God mode.

 

[morgieb]

I guess the India/Pakistan WC curse lives on in games too

 

[Howe_zat]

Shahid Afridi getting ever angrier as his partners get dismissed would have been the thing to look for there.

 

[weldone]

1st match was easy. This one was better.

 

[Howe_zat]

Change of batting order. Colly to bowl more.

1. Trescothick
2. Pietersen
3. Hick
4. Morgan
5. Flintoff
6. Collingwood
7. Stewart
8. Botham
9. Swann
10. Gough
11. Willis
