snoozies batting first

Yes, and currently 8-181 with 10 overs to go.

Aus struggling a little chasing 216. Currently 4-148 with Groinis and Bog at the wicket.

Pissweak effort by Australia. Sneaked home by a wicket. Finch, Warner & Couter-Nile were the only bats to shine. Doesn't auger well for the WC.

TAYPOC

In the 2nd warm up game, Smith made 89 no. while GCS made 0, as Aus made 6-277.

Sheep currently cruising at 1-95 after 18.

Sheep 2nd XI did it easy in the 2nd match. Even minnow basher Tom Latham made runs. What's that tell you about our side???

Things look bleak for us in England in June.

Warner fails again. At least Smith got a few.

What? No ropes at AB field and a tough wicket?

So Aus snuck out of the 3rd game with a D/L win after bad light stopped play with Tweek just short of a ton.
