ICC Sim League IX

[SillyCowCorner1]

Honest Hunks' bowling really ate up that batting lineup of the Supersonics. Having to face up to Lillee and Holding with the new ball, and then Bruce Yardly and Gary Gilmour. It's the pressure that got to them after conceding almost 180 runs in 20 overs. Something unheard of in 1977-79.

Of course not mate. All we need from you at the moment is for you to finish picking your squad & to post your playing XI for Round 1 (including nominated captain).

Round 1

SCC's Cut and Load vs Terrific Unnamed - Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Terrific Unnamed

SCC's Cut and Load

SCC's Cut and Load won by 8 wickets

Man of the match: Bruce Edgar

 

[jimmy101]

Very impressive performance from SCC's bowling unit, Mick Malone seemingly not required, Batting lineup also largely untroubled. On the flipside Marshall & Snow both had an underwhelming match for the Unnamed.

Round 1

Charter 77 vs Aluminium Batters - Waverley Park, Melbourne

Charter 77

The game was almost decided after the first two overs of the match, at which point Charter 77 was 4/2!

Currently waiting on GoodAreasShane.

SCC's bowling really over performed there... Unnamed batting let them down I feel. Charter77 feels very dependent on King Viv and when he does not fire the rest of the line up seems meh. Aluminium Batters on the other hand look extremely balanced.

SCC's Cut and Load vs Terrific Unnamed - Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Terrific Unnamed

SCC's Cut and Load

SCC's Cut and Load won by 8 wickets

Man of the match: Bruce Edgar

Brilliant outing in the opener for us. The bowlers clicked as a unit. Could have shot them out for less than a 100 if Malone was given an over or two. Vanburn Holder impressed me though. Steely.
How many did the opening pair of Edgar and Haynes gave us? Lawrence Rowe played with his usual class. Looked like Vengsarkar took a liking to either Mushtaq or Eddie Barlow.

Could have bowled them out. I'd give them an 8 out of 10.

I feel that there is a mini competition inside the Aluminum Batters camp..

Kadir versus Emburey.
Finger spin versus Leg spin.

Could have bowled them out. I'd give them an 8 out of 10.

Lol.. Marshall and John Snow hardly bunnies with the bat though. So can't be too harsh on them.

 

[ataraxia]

Seriously. Out of anyone Barlow bowls 4...

Even forgot he was a bowling option when picking my side.

 

[honestbharani]

Barlow used to bowl a lot, right?
