Australia A vs West Indies on at the moment

Aus A are 2/18

tonio · Post by **tonio** » January 8, 2005, 11:02 am

Brett Lee is playing for Australia A.....I hope that doesn't mean he won't play for Australia proper and this is just a warm up for him, because he is what i'm looking forward to the most in the upcoming ODI series.... 8)

5/105

They will be lucky to get 200

Post by **greeneyed** » January 8, 2005, 12:50 pm

They ended up doing pretty well though... 260ish.

Post by **greeneyed** » January 8, 2005, 4:47 pm

Not well enough though... Lara blasted the runs away in the end.

Post by **greeneyed** » January 9, 2005, 9:17 am

How come Australia A are playing the Windies again today? Seems a bit strange.........

Sasha · Post by **Sasha** » January 9, 2005, 10:33 am

I guess they are trying to give the Windies as much warm up matches as possible, so they will be more than the competetive in the VB series.

Sasha · Post by **Sasha** » January 10, 2005, 9:05 pm

Surely it has to be a joke bid. But doing a joke bid at a time like this is pretty poor taste

Sasha · Post by **Sasha** » January 10, 2005, 9:05 pm

Post by **greeneyed** » January 10, 2005, 9:07 pm

Sasha · Post by **Sasha** » January 11, 2005, 10:38 am

Post by **greeneyed** » January 12, 2005, 6:30 pm

I thought it was pretty amazing how Australia A collapsed against Pakistan at the end of today.... They should have won, but managed to find a way to lose.......

Post by **greeneyed** » January 12, 2005, 6:31 pm

By the way... what is this 20/20 match supposed to be about? Who is playing?

Timbo · Post by **Timbo** » January 12, 2005, 8:22 pm

20/20 is a concept that has been mind blowingly popular in England (like 20,000 crowds for domestics).

It's 20 overs a side, all bash and smash, Ian Harvey is a pro, opening the batting and has several tons.

Sril Lanka and South Africa have also adopted it with much sucess. CA is testing the waters in Adelaide tomorrow night.

I saw the first 20/20 match in Australia with the Haddin IX vs the Katich IX...i have to say it was pretty good...but they got out more often...it was almost like a game of backyard cricket....

gotta feel sorry for Haddin, the bloke scores 130 odd striking at above 100 and watches as the rest of the team coulding manage 150 betweeb them all.
