What are the odds?

Cricinfo says some guy called AD Hales is playing for the Lions. Which would be a neat trick, given he's in NZ.

hehehe...well that is the croc for you Dello!

and yes the vics have their very own sidearse

the cubettes are off to a great start...1/58 last I saw..

will get another report tonight from a guy who is watching the game

chopra going nutsoid and about to reach his ton...Taylor crabbing his way to a 50

Trevving warning ...Trevving warning ...Trevving warning ...

Trevving warning ...Trevving warning ...Trevving warning ...




cubbettes to get close to 400 here...

Wee Jimmy Taylor? Overrated. Goes missing against half decent attacks. Chopra looks ok. Might get a go for England this Summer.

hehehehe...poor little guy never stood a chance

are foakes n stokes the new Marks n Sparks?

Brit Cubettes v Vix kids seems to be an entertaining 50 over game....330+ for the visitors and 2/100 odd for the hosts at the halfway mark

All set up for a Vixen Cubs choke. 26 needed off 20 with plenty of wickets in the shed.

And so it begins...

47.1
Coles to Rose, no run
47.2
Coles to Rose, 1 run
47.3
Coles to Carters, 1 run
47.4
Coles to Rose, 1 run
47.5
Coles to Carters, 1 run
47.6
Coles to Rose, OUT
CA Rose c Chopra b Coles 15 (14b 2x4 0x6) SR: 107.14

Ooh, Lions choke more...

48.6
Wright to Carters, (no ball) SIX

This Lions bowling attack is a f*cking joke. All this talk of England's fast bowling depth is bullshit. We have Anderson and Finn, and f*ck all else.

wow...the bile of the love lorn Mudge is beyond anything that a Victorian could produce

must say it was another sensational woof from jgk that got the Vix kids over the line...why does jgk's abilities not help the spivs?

according to CA

"One more game to be played between these two sides, they will meet at the MCG on Wednesday, where the Victorian XI will likely field a stronger side and look for a clean sweep of these warm up matches."

....good times...the future of english cricket seems assured

I'm amazed at the attack the Lions are fielding. Chris Wright is a scatter gun with a modest first class record, yet he's the only 'specialist' quick bowler in the team. The rest- Stokes, Clarke, Craig Overton, are batting all rounders.

mayber meaker should change his name to Mokes....would this help him get a game?

the Brittle Brions are 4/64...only skewiff is putting up much of a fight for the Brions

despite the blurb...the vic attack has hardly been strenthened...

the Brittles are scoring at under 3 per over but now look like they will bat out the 50 overs...Skewiiff is the one Brion who has stood up this tour

oh well ...173 all out is not too bad in the end...good effort from skewiff who again top scored...nice to see a Victorian leggie again befuddling the poms

Vix now 0/54 in the 12th over...they certainly have played Tonic into form...the Brittles have not had a happy series of practice matches here..

At this rate Mudge will not post on this thread again

This is the worst Lions bowling attack ever assembled. I can only assume they're sacrificing team balance for the sake of finding a batting all rounder who can slot into the ODI side.....and no one is stepping up.

with one exception the batting has been shaky too...particularly considering the std of the bowling they have faced
