ICC Sim League VII

[jimmy101]

Holy crap. Massive turnaround in form for India. Nightmare start for Yorkshire, who on paper seem to be England's strongest stand-alone county in this comp.

Round 2

New South Wales vs New Zealand - Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney


New Zealand 1st Innings

New South Wales 1st innings

New Zealand 2nd Innings

New South Wales 2nd Innings

New Zealand won by 68 runs.

Man of the match: Bert Sutcliffe

Points: NZ 2 NSW 0

 

[jimmy101]

Another upset. And what a knock from Sutcliffe against a veritable ATG bowling attack.

Currently awaiting teams from AndrewB, Battlers & mr_mister.

 

[morgieb]

Don failing really screwed me. A decent start given the opposition, though.

#pressure

 

[AndrewB]

Lancashire unchanged.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Looking after the missus in hospital, I’ll go unchanged until further notice.

 

[jimmy101]

Still waiting on MM. Have noticed he's posting in other threads but ignoring this one. If we don't hear from him soon I'll relieve him of Surrey and let SillyCow take over.

Round 2

World XI vs Lancashire - Lord's, London


Lancashire 1st Innings

World XI 1st Innings

Lancashire 2nd Innings

World XI 2nd Innings

World XI won by 6 wickets.

Man of the match: Nobby Clark

Points: WXI 6 LCS 0

 

[jimmy101]

A quality partnership between Edrich & Roberston sees the World XI notch up their first win in their first match.

Round 2

Pakistan vs Victoria - National Stadium, Karachi


Victoria 1st innings

Pakistan 1st innings

Victoria 2nd Innings

Pakistan 2nd Innings

Victoria won by 46 runs.

Man of the match: Keith Miller

Points: VIC 6 PAK 2

 

[jimmy101]

And the Vics pull of an unlikely victory following the loss of Miller. Dainty was a bit stiff not to get the MOTM.

Just the Surrey/Windies clash to close off round 2 now.

 

[Shri]

unchanged for round 3 too

 

[jimmy101]

MM dropped me a line letting me know he has a bit going on at the moment. So SillyCow, if you're still interested in managing Surrey, allow me to post their squad for you, and you can select an XI for round 2. Incidentally they'll be facing off against your other team, WI.

Surrey

/° Jack Hobbs RHB
/° Andrew Sandham RHB
/° Laurie Fishlock LHB
/ Douglas Jardine RHB
/ Peter May RHB
/o Freddie Brown RHB/LS

Round 2

West Indies vs Surrey - Sabina Park, Kingston


West Indies 1st Innings

Surrey 1st Innings

West Indies 2nd Innings

Surrey 2nd Innings

Surrey won by 5 wickets.

Man of the match: Andrew Sandham

Points: SRY 6 WI 2

 

[jimmy101]

What an unbelievable match, I figured I'd sim with Surrey unchanged and this is what we got. A great 4th innings partnership between May & Sandham steals a famous win.

In the interests of keeping the wheels turning I figure I'll step in & become caretaker manager of Surrey. If there's anyone who'd like to step in and try their hand with them let me know.

It's a bit time consuming calculating quotient for this many teams, so right now only points are displayed & teams on the same amount of points are shown alphabetically. I'll calculate quotient if necessary at the end of the league stage to split teams on shared amounts of points.
