Hong Kong World Sixes, 28-29 October, 2017

Dunno whether this is worthy of Rikki-ing or not.

Group A – Hong Kong, South Africa, Pakistan, Marylebone Cricket Club
Group B – Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand Kiwis, Sri Lanka

Semis and Final on Day 2 to decide the winner.

- Matches are played between two teams of six players, and each game consists of a maximum of five six-ball overs bowled by each side.
- Each member of the fielding side bowls one over, with the exception of the wicket-keeper.
- Wides and no-balls count as two runs.
- If five wickets fall before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman bats on with the fifth batsman acting as a runner. He always takes strike. The innings is complete when the sixth wicket falls.
- Batsmen retire not out on reaching 31 runs. The idea being to reach 36 runs by hitting 6 sixes. A retired batsman can return to the crease after lower-order batsmen either retire or are out.

Aus squad:

Ben Laughlin, Arjun Nair, Nathan Reardon, Alex Gregory, John Hastings, Matt Short, Sebastian Gotch

Sounds like a bit of fun. Actually a fun day out. Irrelevant cricket played as it should be.

What's a Sebastian Gotch?

Lets face it. The Aussie side is little more than a pub side.

LOL. What a pack of donkeys.

Kudos to Cheesy for not rikki-ing.

Aus has managed 1 win from 3 in Group B.

SAf won the tournamnet after beating Pak in the Final.
