ICC Sim League XI

[honestbharani]

Unchanged for India

 

[Teuton]

Unchanged for Pakistan after a rare win

 

[Line and Length]

My 'horses for curses' strategy comes a bit undone here. No sure if any of my team have played on this ground (more research required) so this selection is based on form against NZ and in NZ.

Gooch (c)
Atherton
Hussein
Thorpe
Smith
Stewart +
Embury
Caddick
Gough
de Freitas
Malcolm

IN: Caddick ( deserves a recall and his figures v NZ are impressive)

OUT: Fraser (ordinary form v NZ and hasn't played a Test there)

Embury holds on due to solid batting form (better than Hick and Gatting) against this opponent.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

MS Atapattu
ST Jayasuriya
AP Gurusinha
PA de Silva
*A Ranatunga
RS Mahanama
+RS Kaluwitharana
HDPK Dharmasena
WPUJC Vaas
GP Wickremasinghe
M Muralitharan

 

[AndrewB]

Replace Craig Spearman with Sanjeeva Ranatunga

Round 7

India vs World XI - M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

World XI won by 7 wickets
Man of the match: Matthew Hayden
Points: WXI 22 IND 3

 

[jimmy101]

The World XI breaks its drought! Hayden seeing it like a watermelon atm, has scored 200+ runs in the past two matches.

 

[morgieb]

Mark Taylor*
Justin Langer
David Boon
Mark Waugh
Steve Waugh
Greg Blewett
Ian Healy +
Shane Warne
Damien Fleming
Craig McDermott
Glenn McGrath

Round 7

Pakistan vs Australia - Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Pakistan won by 6 wickets
Man of the match: Saqlain Mushtaq
Points: PAK 18 AUS 4

 

[jimmy101]

Pakistan have all of a sudden roared back into contention. 1992 CWC all over again? Australia meanwhile has gotten itself into a bit of trouble here.

Round 7

New Zealand vs England - Seddon Park, Hamilton

England won by 6 wickets
Man of the match: John Emburey
Points: ENG 19 NZ 3

 

[jimmy101]

England have been having a stellar tournament thus far. Injuries to Parore & Inzy this round certainly would have made things interesting, will most likely be including injuries in the next version of sim league. Poor old Andrew Jones, run out for 96 in that first innings!

Waiting on teams from @cnerd123 @GoodAreasShane @SillyCowCorner1

Oh snap. I didn't notice his ban. Did he PM you this XI on another platform?

Indeed.

 

[jimmy101]

Aight. Sit tight everyone, bit busy for the next couple of nights. Will return to simming on either Wednesday or Thursday.

 

[cnerd123]

We should get a forfeit win thanks to GAS's ban IMO
