ICC weird matchups sim league

[GoodAreasShane]

Sorry, didn't realise you had already called for the Windies in the other thread, not trying to step on anybody's toes here. Just picked them because they were the best team of the era and I completely lack imagination

 

[Shri]

All good.

 

[Shri]

Ok, 2 groups of 5, 4 games per team.

Top 2 from each group goes to SFs, and then the Final.

Allan Lamb /
Mike Gatting /
Ian Botham o / (c) - 1
Tony Greig o / - 5
Steve Rhodes + /
Derek Pringle o / - 4
Bob Willis o - 2
Chris Old o - 3

Old should bat above Willis - he was a decent tail-end bat who once scored an ODI 50.

 

[Shri]

First match is done and was a thriller.

Pak batted first and put up a decent total after Le Roux had a few early strikes:

SA chased well until the 19th over, needing 6 to win with 4 wickets in hand. But then Imran brought himself on for the last over...

All they had to do was get Pienaar back on strike.

 

[Shri]

MotM:

Imran Khan

 

[jimmy101]

Too easy.

 

[Dan]

Boooooooo.

Fully putting this on Pringle ftr -- my initial pick, Aubrey Lilley, would totally have taken 8/12
