Match Report
The final at Lord's. All work here and up above, ceases.
Bradman won the toss and inserted Modern XI in. For the first time, Tendulkar was in his element. He scored a valuable 41. Greenidge and Richards did not score much. Then Lara played a lovely innings of 70 in 76 balls, well supported by Sobers with a quality 49. Then Gilchrist weighed in with a wonderful cameo of 34. The Moderns ended with a respectable 252, 2 overs still to go. Would it be enough? Would they regret not adding another 10 runs in the two overs, considering that the last two matches were won by 10 and 18 runs.
Hobbs scored a quick 50. Headley scored, when needed. Walcott and Miller supported with quality innings. But in the end the win was fashioned by the Little Master, the incomparable Sir Don, who played the innings of the series and shepherded the Vintage XI to a 5-wicket win. It did not matter that he missed his 100 by 5 runs or that his partners outscored him. He was there till the end and won the match for the Vintage XI. 95 in 107 balls, when needed most. That is the hallmark of the greatest cricketer who ever lived.
The man of the match. No question. The one and only Bradman.
In the end, the Vintage XI won by a narrow 3-2 margin.
