2016 Australia A Series

[Torz]

Early trouble for Aus A against the Saffas. Stoinis got a good ball, Lynn played a poor shot.

BigFooty's favourites Bancroft and Handscomb at the crease.

 

[JUBJUB]

Looks like Australia didn't want to be left out.Grounds buggered in the West Indies,South Africa and in Mackay

Is there a dry outfield in the world at the moment?

 

[The_Reaper]

The WACA is dry today.

To be fair isn't it winter in South Africa?

Hosting tests in August is pretty odd

 

[Van_Dyke]

The WACA is dry today.

To be fair, it has been raining a fair bit over here.

Dubai.

 

[Torz]

Hundreds for Patterson and Maddinson today.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Stoinis is a horrible one day player, not sure why he keeps getting a gig.

 

[Torz]

Strangely balanced side today. Kane Richardson batting at 7, left us with a fragile lower order.

He's better than what he seems, but hasn't practiced his batting much lately. Some how batted at 3 for the redbacks once.

pinch-hitter or night watchman?

 

[Bradesmaen]

pinch-hitter or night watchman?

Neither. Batted at 3 in both innings. It was the only time and prior to that he had shown talent as a batsman. A bit like Henriques.. except Richardson can bowl.

Aussies lost to India A lol, after smashing them in the first match.

Bombay, Kalina, Santa Cruz, India

Well that's pretty debatable.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Didn't watch it, but looking at the stats, Swepson and big Dave Moody got amongst the wickets. Good to see from both of them.



And yes David Moody is playing for Australia A.

 

[The_Reaper]

Beau Webster playing for Australia A is almost as odd

 

[ioppolo]

Beau Webster playing for Australia A is almost as odd

Least deserving Aus A cap ever.

He did make some tons last season though + bowls some offies which could make the selectors interested.

 

[The_Reaper]

Bancroft was keeping?

 

[Torz]

Bancroft was keeping?

Whiteman, when I was watching.

 

[The_Reaper]

Whiteman, when I was watching.

Makes sense because he took two catches.

But cricinfo has Bancroft as the keeper

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee Swepson is an exciting prospect!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Gee Swepson is an exciting prospect!

I wouldn't go that far. He's like any recent Australian spinner... they get out attacking him. Krejza anyone?
