Full commentary
The spotlight had been on the old stars in the teams but Aaron Finch has made the most of it by smashing 188* on this special occasion. It was all too easy for a man in form. He waited, played within himself at times, but hit is way out whenever he needed to.. He wasn't being tested enough. In between, Tendulkar and Lara played a few entertaining shots, turning the clock back a few years..ROW were handed a blow after Shane Warne fractured his arm during batting, and the other bowlers lacked incisiveness. ROW's batting had been similar - an innings lifted by a Yuvraj Singh century after Saeed Ajmal had almost made a mockery of the occasion by picking up wickets at will. All in all, the match was a great success in bringing all these players together.. A better contest would have made it more interesting though. Thanks for all your comments and feedback. There is a game in Dominica starting soon if you are a cricket tragic. I will move over to watch that one.. Costa Rica are going to win it easily anyway. Ciao ciao.
Manasseh Anand: "Getting congratulated by SR Tendulkar on 50, BC Lara on 100 and S Chanderpaul on 150. What a day for Aaron Finch. Respect :)"
