Situation Name - England v Austraila their greatest Ashes teams

Difficulty Rating = 4 for the England Squad, 2 for the Austrailian Squad (ratings go from 1 easy to 6 nearly impossible)

Many people say in England say that England's 1981 team was probably one of the best English teams with the highest amounts of team spirit since those early glory days of English Cricket. Many Austrailians whom I have met at matches and e-mailed have said exactly the same about their Austraila 1993 team - which nearly took the record in the Lords test of having every top 5 batsman score centuries. Only Mark Waugh failed - scoring 99 (b Tufnell). Indeed that match was also famous for England with Michael Atherton's slighly odd (to say the least) run out when on 99.

In this game, (a 20 over affair between the 2 above mentioned sides), Austraila have batted first scoring 145, England started well but slowly with Boycott (who began slowly but soon picked up, by the way Boycott's attribute is Avg. 47 and Aggressive maybe whoever programmed this needs to watch a very videos of Boycott's batting!) and Gooch. The middle order although powerful has faltered dramatically. Now with Dilley and Taylor at the crease, England now require 2 runs (nearly 2.5) a ball! The last 2 overs will be bowled by Tim May and Mark Waugh and as most Brian Lara Cricket owners know, spin bowling is one of the hardest styles of bowling to get away (or at least can be). Lucky there were no medium pacers!

When playing this game a cool head is a neccesity and so is a few bad deliveries.

Tip : - run hard, better chance of running 2's, and don't slog the short ball that your recieve, better to score 2 than be out 2 inches from the boundary, the trick is placement!!
