Simulation Cricket Authority: SCA World Cup 2007 (News article: Round up of the practice matches)
Round up of the practice matches - Jan 14


Both Saintsational.com and CricketMX.com won both of their practice matches, but will be fearing that they may have peaked too early.

Zcultfm.com, MensaP2P.com, Fishlipps.no-ip.org and Webhostingtalk.com won a single match.

There have already been four century makers, Serj (Zcultfm.com), Dal_Santos_Gal (Saintsational.com), wanabe (CricketMX.com) and AchaKamath (Fishlipps.no-ip.org). All of whom, amazingly, had never scored an ODI century before. AchaKamath has posted a century at List A level, against CricketMX.com A.

Serj is the leading run scorer of the World Cup so far, with 174. 133 of which came against Fishlipps.no-ip.org in the first match. wanabe isn't far behind, having scored 131 in one of his warm up games.

Serj leads the tally for sixes and fours hit, with 6 and 19 respectively.

Fishlipps.no-ip.org's huru is the standout in the bowling department, but n1ck of Saintsational.com's stats aren't too bad either.

huru has taken 8 wickets at 8.38, while n1ck has taken the same number at 8.75. The next best is Cleetus, who has taken 7 wickets at 17.29.

Ace, the Zcultfm.com bowler who had been expected to fire, has taken just 2 wickets at 39.00. BONGOMAN of CricketMX.com is in a similar situation, but going for 42.00. Sitepoint.com's strike bowler, bcr, has also managed just 2 wickets, going for 49.50 apiece.

On the completion of the practice round, Zcultfm.com and Fishlipps.no-ip.org are still strong favourites. Being in different groups, it is possible that they could meet in the semi finals, or even the grand final. CricketMX.com look to be in a good position, while Saintsational.com have made a resurgence at the right time.

Sitepoint.com, having lost 6 ODI's on the trot now, will need to restructure ahead of their first Group match on Wednesday. Young Twig, the recalled batsman recognised as the best in simulation cricket, has been holding together the batting lineup. He's the 9th leading run-scorer so far, having scored 100 runs at 50.00. He scored 69 in his comeback match.
