Same as Dilshan and Ranatunga

Wonder if that is
A. An actual statistical number that batsman get out a lot on
B. A quirk of the algorithm
C. Coincidence

I vaguely remember cricket captain. Not sure it was quite my thing really, but then it would have been an old version and I have no doubt that these things improve year on year

Very impressed with it.

Seemingly has every professional player who has ever played for country and the main clubs.

Updates their stats and everything.

The old ones seemingly put a huge bias on spin over pace, so any team that has two decent spinners is going to rip this up

I found that when I played. Sri Lanka with Murali and Samaraweera (!) as a second spinner tore everyone apart in my 2006 ICC game...

PAKISTAN WIN ODI BY A HUGE 203 RUNS

Zaheer Abbas's huge score of 226 helped his Pakistan side to a record breaking total of 416. Abbas was aided and abetted by Anwar (84) and ul-Haq (52) but in the latter stages it was all left up to him as the middle order were all dismissed by the spin of Malinga for under 20.

Sri Lanka were facing a run of 8.6 from the off and soon crumbled to 36-3. This brought together Saneth Jayasuriya and Angelo Matthews who put on 89 together in just 10 overs - from there anything seemed possible. There were some key spells that derailed Pakistan. First Mushtaq got both Matthews (22) and Ranatunge (0) in the 18th over followed by Jayasuriya gone for a 46 ball 67 in the next. A similar double wicket over saw Imran Khan take the relatively set Vaas and his replacement Malnga but by then it was all over.
