[Line and Length]

I'm sticking with my "horses for courses" approach.

Gooch (capt)
Atherton
Hussain
Thorpe
Smith
Hick
Stewart +
Embury
de Freitas
Gough
Fraser

Hick just holds on to his spot ahead of Gatting as he and Gooch may be required to bowl on a good batting wicket.

de Freitas and Fraser have the best bowling records in the squad at Trent Bridge. Gough and Caddick have similar records but Caddick may need a spell after 4 tough games.

Schultz back for Snell the only change for South Africa.

Just a heads up, I will probably have somewhat limited internet access over the next week or so, will try to keep up to date but that is no certainty

Round 5

India vs Australia - Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, New Delhi

Match Drawn
Man of the match: Navjot Sidhu

[honestbharani]

Great work to come off with the draw there, but disappointed with AI not bowling Aashish Kapoor more.

The AI could have maybe declared a bit earlier in the third innings, but the pitch was basically a road so probably would have made a lot of difference. Looks like the AI doesn't really know what to do with three spinners lol.

 

[Teuton]

I know its late to ask, but how do the match conditions translate to being good or bad for spin? I presume its to do with 'wear' but I can't work it out based on the last few, ie SA is 'very good', NZ & Eng are 'average' , & Ind & Pak are in the middle ('good').

More green bars = better for batting

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah, essentially four green bars is as good/batsman friendly as the conditions can be, whilst four red bars is as harsh/bowler friendly as they can get. So, four green usually equals a road, if any of what I just said makes sense.

Round 5

South Africa vs Sri Lanka - Kingsmead, Durban

South Africa won by 8 wickets
Man of the match: Shaun Pollock
Points: RSA 22 SL 3

 

[jimmy101]

SL underperforming here. They simply must win all of their remanding matches to have a chance of playing in the semis.
