Zimbabwe 'A' v Australia 'A' v South Africa 'A'

[SamSawnoff]

If it is Wade (yeah, it isn't, I know) then he should bowl more. 7 overs for 19.

He should die his hair blonde and declare himself a leggie.

Yeah pretty impressive, with those figures you'd think he was Copeland.

On other matters, Lyon is ****ing gun.

 

[Ruckus]

Erm...awkward... it seems it was Wade???

Cricinfo being ****.

Lyon is at it again. Considering SOK's record in A team matches, I assume this means that Lyon will be ignored forever more.

 

[Spikey]

i'd say the current copeland is either the real one and this is his 8th, or it's warner bowling his spinners

 

[SamSawnoff]

Or it's the real Wade bowling his thunderbolts.

 

[Ruckus]

Haha if that actually was Wade, it would have been a pretty big kick in the balls for Copeland.

 

[Spark]

Yeah I'm fairly sure it's Copeland and his figures are actually 9 overs for 22.

 

[Spark]

Haha if that actually was Wade, it would have been a pretty big kick in the balls for Copeland.

Worse for the batsmen, considering Wade has never bowled a ball at state level in any format.

 

[Ruckus]

haha yeah indeed...good to see Copeland is actually being economical in the shorter format anyway (albeit with wickets). Be interesting to see if he is the one building the pressure out there, because that's exactly what we need in the test team.

 

[SamSawnoff]

This will at least give Warner a chance to not be **** if they don't have to go after the bowling at all.

Nice thing about this attack is that apart from SOK they are all 25 and under. Hastings is doing a fantastic job. Now that Tait has retired they'll have to give him a real run in the one day team.

 

[robelinda]

Hastings sure hasnt let anyone down when he's played at the higher level. Seems to be a genuine talent for the future.

 

[Spark]

Hastings is less than 25? I thought he was 26. Good to see.

Yeah agreed, suprisingly though his figures in ODI's are really quite ordinary (averaging only 47.75 after 10 matches). Really doesn't do him justice though, because he has definately been a positive in the side imo. Wouldn't mind see him get a go in tests sometime as well...he is also the kind of containment bowler we need right now, excellent FC record as well.

 

[SamSawnoff]

He's 25 as is Copeland. Starc is 21, Lyon - who I am trying not to get too pleased about - is 23. I'm so glad that Hilf was left out of this squad after all.

 

[SamSawnoff]

David Warner is busy warming up for the four dayers.

 

[aussie tragic]

Warner out for 3 from 22 balls....while Finch is 40* from 38 balls at the other end

 

[Spark]

And now cricinfo has Copeland in at 4

 

[SamSawnoff]

And now cricinfo has Copeland in at 4

He can do EVERYTHING.

After all, he's a converted wicket-keeper.

This is getting interesting. I have no idea what the batting order is, I can't believe that SOK came in before Maddinson and Wade, now crapinfo is saying that Hastings is in?

Cricinfo is only as good as the information it gets provided from the ground - I can't imagine they have anyone there (seeing as they don't ordinarily have scorers at International matches) so the problems stem from whoever is at the ground.
