[SillyCowCorner1]

Took a gamble by leaving out Mushtaq for the match against South Africa. This was based on the fact that Aamir Sohail is an able spinner. The wickets in SA are more adapted for the pacers, hence I brought in Sohail Tanvir and Naved-ul-Hasan. Trying to stem the flow of runs. Sami is a wicket taker, but for this game he will be providing drinks. Also, I dropped Sami because he was poor in the match against India.

Let's see how this one goes.

Sri Lanka v World XI - Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo

World XI

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka won by 4 wickets

Man of the match: Kumar Dharmasena

Points: SL 2 WXI 0

 

[jimmy101]

Horrible start to our campaign, but it's hard to overcome the opposition when players like Dharmasena are putting in such Al Hasan-esque performances.

Round 2

South Africa v Pakistan - St George's Park, Port Elizabeth

Pakistan

South Africa

Pakistan won by 5 runs.

Man of the match: Aamer Sohail

Points: PAK 2 RSA 0

 

[jimmy101]

So close yet again for the Proteas, but they really did collapse towards the end. Once again it's Sohail at the forefront.

This is the second match in a row Daryll Cullinan has been run out!

Brilliant contest and an equally as brilliant, match-winning partnership between Elliott & Greatbatch. NZ are two from two.

Sterling effort from the Aussie bowlers there, they are also two from two.

Currently awaiting AZH to post his XI.

 

[honestbharani]

Finally the two key players in the middle order stepped up for India. Good win. Retaining the side next game too and hopefully Chawla gets a bowl next time.
