Bradman's fourth innings 116*

 

[The Sean]

Nah Bradman will be not be averaging 99 against this level of bowlers. (Ambrose, Holding, Wasim, Hadlee..) He will come down to 60-70 or even less. So there's nothing unfair.

What will every other batsman come down to then? Because you can't arbitrarily knock 30-40 runs off one bloke and then decide everyone else will stay true to their numbers.

 

[Nintendo]

Also, bradman's test average passed 100 after that 116*, now sitting on a cool 100.27

 

[Zinzan]

And while Hadlee had a disappointing Test, good to see him snick The Don out in the 1st innings, which is arguably worth 2 wickets.

 

[ashley bach]

Nice to see the Don back in form, been a while since he chalked up a ton.

 

[Victor Ian]

...Australia can go with Miller at 8.Don’t think you need 5 bowlers anyway.

I think this is the way. The best Australian teams had only 4 bowlers. The fifth is a holding role, and Australia has Warne who can basically bowl every second over to keep the 3 pacers as fresh as they want, one of which is McGrath who can almost do the same and let Lillee and Miller operate purely in strike mode. I'd expect Miller to actually give a **** in such a game. He might surmise that Ambrose and Holding is somewhat similar to a Messerschmitt up his arse and perform at his peak with the bat and ball.

Mate you couldn't have called this better lmao. Mcgrath got injured in the 1st innings of the sim in the second game and couldn't bowl and I only had to bowl 5 overs of part time across 2 innings.

 

[Burgey]

Bradman out in the 90s genuinely renders this a fantasy exercise.

great effort putting these together though mate. Good value

 

[Victor Ian]

So, presuming these are Aussie pitches, that is Sydney and Brisbane out of the way.

So McGrath gets injured and Australia still win?

 

[Zinzan]

Australia 2 nil up Venues for the last 3 tests thanks?

 

[Victor Ian]

Will McGrath be back in time? Will Australia persist with 2 spinners on fast and bouncy considering they did on a green top.

 

[Victor Ian]

Tendulkar out to Warne in both innings.

So McGrath gets injured and Australia still win?

Yeah, Pitch was turning a fair bit by the fourth innings so warne and o'reilly could cover most of the overs.

 

[_00_deathscar]

Tendulkar out to Warne in both innings.

Game is unrelaible then.

 

[Burgey]

Game is unrelaible then.

Bradman out twice in the 90s in two tests too.

would like to have seen that partnership between Richards and Sobers though. About as good as it would get

 

[Burgey]

Also, Hayden WAFC

 

[Slifer]

So in an actual series, who will win?

I think it's close. Australia have Bradman who is like an extra bat. But their openers won't be to the same level, nor will their lower order after Gilly. Warne guarantees them a victory in Sydney IMO. If Miller plays at 6, it weakens their batting a bit but then they have a 4 man pace attack plus Warne.

For ROW, assuming it's Hobb, Sutcliffe/Hutton, Viv, Hammond/Barrington, Tendulkar and Sobers, that's an incredible top six. ABD or Pants at 7 will be the counterattacker. And then Hadlee plus Imran/Wasim give them batting depth.

So the question is whether Hadlee, Ambrose, Wasim/Imran is enough of a pace attack? I think they need a fourth pacer or they are screwed. But there is nobody to counter Warne.

Imran is not playing in a ROW XI in Australia.
