For creating the teams, I used statistics from this CricketArchive page, and using this website I can compare my games with the real things.
South Australia did get the win, albeit in a different manner, and some milestones were reached as well. I feel it may be a bit too much for me to keep track of it all, but I may investigate on some players at the end of their careers to see how CW has matched up. For now, here are some milestones for the first match.
JJ Lyons passed 3000 runs in First-Class Matches when he reached 67 IRL, and he more than met this moment in my match with scores of 34 + 131.
JC Reedman passed his previous highest First-Class Matches score of 63 IRL; he reached 85 in the second innings.
The bowling didn't go quite along the same path, but that is part of Cricket World in that the game doesn't know names, only team ratings.
In the next match between Victoria and New South Wales, AC Bannerman needs 18 more runs to reach 6500 for his First-Class career.
This blog is to share results in my sports replay gaming. All of the games involve pencil, paper, cards and dice; no digital gaming here. Most games are full season replays, but there will also be some fictional competitions thrown in. It's been a while, but I hope that 2017 sees a return of blog activity.
About M.E. myself and I

- I have been an M.E. sufferer for a long time now, but sports replay gaming is an easy hobby for me to enjoy. Originally from Canvey Island, Essex, I was introduced to replay gaming a few years ago, leading to my first purchase: Cricket World. Most sports I share will be common, but there are some more obscure replays thrown in. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to say hello! - Chris
