Round 6, Match 21
Keatoboy v Matty76
Matty76 won the toss, chose to bat, and immediately regretted it. 30 overs later the innings was over, as Keatoboy rolled them for just 89. Sehwag scored 35 and only two others passed six as Allan Donald ripped through the order to take 6/39.
After that performance Matty76 needed a great performance with the ball. Unfortunately, when Don Bradman is in the opposition line-up that's no easy task and so it proved. Brian Lara made 118 but Bradman stole the show, finally living up to his billing as the greatest-ever batsman by making an incredible 272. It was part of a huge team total of 573; one which looked like being even bigger at 4/548 before the lower-order went quickly.
It was effectively a matter of pride now for Matty76's men, and the top three did their part by all making starts before all being dismissed either just short of or just past 50. After that though it was another sad-looking scorecard, as the final eight wickets fell for less than 50. This time Sydney Barnes did the most damage, taking 5/71 as Keatoboy prevailed by a massive innings and 261 runs.
Keatoboy 573 (Bradman 272, Lara 118) defeated Matty76 89 (Donald 6/39) & 223 (Harvey 55, Sehwag 54, Barnes 5/71) by an innings and 261 runs.
