Australia 'A' vs. India 'A+'

What the actual f*ck?

As the title of this thread suggests, that's more than an India A.

Including Raina (174, 17) they have 298 ODIs and 72 Tests between them.

That's prolly enough to match up to some international teams.

good god. dhawan is certainly in some kind of purple patch. thought he was a real prospect when he started off, dropped off badly and was almost down and out. but this is something

and makes sense for india to play their batsmen who have not played in south africa before in this series. we have a tour in a few months

though i doubt the pitches will be like this

had an outside chance for a triple century as well. needed 52 with 33 deliveries left

Would have got there easily if he'd stayed till the end, the way he was hitting.

Pujara also scoring a ton. Good times.

Who'd be a bowler on a shirt-front like that?

Lardy, my front lawn is so hard you couldn't get e garden fork in. Gawd knows how hard a clay wicket is.

Notice the SA openers are now going at over nine per over.

Must be like the concrete pitch at the primary school up the road.

Jeez.

Jeez, looking at the start and the bowling, South Africa will win this.

Don't remember Ishwar Pandey ever doing anything noteworthy outside the cold MP winter.

Who gives fark who wins. This farce of a series does nothing for the players or for cricket in general.

Fair enough, the result doesn't. But the backup bowling's still poor if this our second string. Then again, can't be helpful for them playing here.

I've said it for a while ... these pitches should encourage teams to choose 11 batsmen, some of whom can roll their arms over a bit. Choosing actual bowlers is pretty much a waste of time.

Inda A won the toss & are batting. Currently 54/2 after 10 overs. Mitch Marsh gets another game ahead of Doolan. I'm forked if i know why. The guy is a liability at the moment.

Aussie citizenship is presently selling for 7 runs per over, no wickets. Snigger.

Fawad Ahmed 6 0 42 0 7.00 (1nb)

Australia A 69/5 (18.2 ov)

Erm, snigger?

Aus A 99-7. I hope this is not a shirtfront too. Or Uzi, Hughesy, Watto etc will be breathing easy in their beds.

Yet Tim stands on the burning deck, whence all but he have fled.


Raina opening the bowling? Right.

131-7, recovery being staged. Tiny Tim and "Lee".

Right, moral victory territory now. An Injun or a Pakistani who can win it for Australia A....

Neither.

Fawad knocked back.

Well, that's done.

And least Fawad Ahmed has explained the PNG decision.

Probably.
