Crownmethod's Cricket Sim Season 2!!

I’m a little disappointed in a few mangers who haven’t named their starting XI yet. A reminder that all the matches are played on Wednesday and Saturday. That gives plenty of time to name your XI. If you are going on holiday or something, please tell me so I would know. If your computer broke down, just try to make sure it doesn’t do that again. Your computer doesn’t break down every week. Please make more of an effort next time.

Round 2 matches have been played

Australia v New Zealand

The Kiwis put on a poor performance as Australia recorded another comfortable victory. Matthew Hayden scored 82 as he won the man of the match award. The Australian bowlers destroyed the New Zealand batting order.

Bangladesh v India

Bangladesh put on a descent challenge for India but the visitors were too good for them. They won by 45 runs, with man of the match Anil Kumble getting 4 for 31 off 8 overs.

Zimbabwe v England

Zimbabwe made an odd decision to let England bat first on a good batting pitch. England posted a massive total of Zimbabwe to chase; Zimbabwe fell short by just 80 runs. Kevin Pieterson scored a memorable century.

Pakistan v South Africa

In a very sc**ppy match, South Africa won comfortably by 3 wickets with over 10 overs to spare. No batsman managed to score a half century. It was a bowler’s day.

Sri Lanka v West Indies

Sri Lanka posted 302 on a poor pitch. They thrashed the West Indies by 136 runs in the end. It was a very good day for the Sri Lankans.

Round 3 Matches

Zimbabwe v Australia

Bangladesh v Pakistan

New Zealand v South Africa

Sri Lanka v England

India v West Indies

Round 3 matches are played this Saturday. So can the managers of Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and India please name a pitch condition and a venue for your match. Some of you didn’t do that last round so please make more of an effort this round.

Ah this is a slight problem lets keep the same team for one more round with a poor pitch.

I think everyone named their starting XI this round. Keep up the good work. Wolves f c 1, you can keep your job.

EnglandFan, Im not sure why you have named 5 extra members of your starting XI. You have already named an 18 man squad, no need to reduce it or change it.

Round 4 matches have been played.

Australia v Bangladesh

Bangladesh almost caused a big upset, falling short of Australia’s total of 278 by 3 runs. Shahriar Nafees century wasn’t enough to take his side over the line. Michael Hussey won man of the match award with his quick fire 96 of just 73 balls.

India v South Africa

None of the Indian batsman except Sehwag made a descent score on the poor batting pitch. The Indians were bowled out for 192. South Africa chased down their total comfortably with nearly 10 overs to spare and 7 wickets in hand. South Africa is one of the teams to beat after it recorded its 4 consecutive victory.

Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankans were too good for the gutsy Zimbabweans as they recorded a 4 wicket victory. The Zimbabweans got plenty of positives out of this match.

New Zealand v Pakistan

Pakistan didn’t make good use of the excellent batting pitch. The New Zealand bowlers restricted Pakistan to a total of 218. New Zealand easily chased down the score with more than 10 overs to spare and 8 wickets in hand. Astle’s 88 of 79 was the highlight of the day, he won the man of the match award.

West Indies v England

The West Indies made good use of the poor pitch, bowling England out for just 180. The West Indies chased down 180, they found it very challenging.
