2016 Australia A Series

[corbies]

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

Lolwut? I'll give you first wicket was the batsman attacking him, Iyer hit a full toss straight back at him but Nair got done by a ball that bounced and spun more then he thought it would, Pandya got bowled trying to block the ball FFS and Thakur got done trying to sweep. Hardly overly attacking and credit should certainly go to Swepson for most of those deliveries.

Two of them attacked him, the two batsmen. 1 decent wicket, but nothing special. Like his career so far. Over hyped and the next to fail when touted.

 

[Pedantic]

Surely Handscomb gets a baggy green this summer.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Looks like a tight finish.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Clearly 4, poor stuff from the Indian fielder there.

 

[Torz]

Ball is sitting on the rope and the Indian player doesn't say it's 4. Blatant cheating, really. Thankfully the umpires noticed it.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bancroft so composed, would love to see him in the Baggy Green soon.

 

[Torz]

Leg byes is an anticlimactic way for it to end. Good win though.

He's useless. Doesn't move the game along.

 

[JackOutback]

He's useless. Doesn't move the game along.

How is he going to entertain the sloggers of the future?

How is he going to entertain the sloggers of the future?

Unfortunately, I can see CA's marketing department having a serious debate about that.

 

[Hellgood]

Brilliant maturity from Bancroft to haul the side over the line. Need more of that attitude instilled in our cricketers. Hopefully he'll get his chance to demonstrate it in the baggy green in the near future.

 

[Torz]

Good toss to win. India in big trouble early. 4-11

 

[eth-dog]

Ended up 9-169 at stumps with a rescue mission from Pandya (79 no) at 8. Richardson and Bird have 3 apiece.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Fantastic to see a top kid like Hilton Cartwright climbing his way up the ladder quickly. Snipping out a wicket and an excellent run out today will give him plenty of confidence heading in tomorrow with the blade.

 

[Torz]

Travis Dean has had a mare of a series. Think that's 1 run from 3 innings now.

 

[Beutbrute]

This is a good partnership between Cartwright and Webster

 

[Van_Dyke]

Atta boy Hilts

 

[Torz]

Great partnership this. Both massive improvers last year.

Maddo in the runs again. Wonder if this might be the season he puts it all together.

 

[Beutbrute]

Cartwright 99* at the end of the days play, Keep it going tomorrow!

 

[Hellgood]

Hilton's stocks keep rising!

 

[aussie1st]

Didn't realise Hilton had such a good start to his FC career. Look forward to seeing how he goes this season.

 

[JackOutback]

Didn't realise Hilton had such a good start to his FC career. Look forward to seeing how he goes this season.

Was a bit injury plagued, I believe, but really settled in at the end of last season.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How fast does Cartwright bowl?

How fast does Cartwright bowl?

125-130ish.
