#WIvAUS: Magnificent straight drive down the ground for 4 by Nevill off Mc Clean. Australia 124-4.

WADE OUT

EDIT

Anyone know much about the WI bowlers? Decent enough records, but they don't really mean much......

 

[Howe_zat]

To be fair, not sure many of us would have thought it possible for a Test-standard middle order to collectively average less than twelve in a series but it happened anyway.

Especially not after the exact same middle order's previous series.

 

[Spikey]

that even morgan made runs says it all imo

#WIvAUS: A quick bouncer from Holder and Forrest goes under it uncertainly.

guess it must have been a really dodge duck for it to be noted by the WI twitter account...

A name like Delorn Edison Johnson tells you everything.

Is Cummins touring/fit?

He's not injured anymore, but he's not fit yet, if you get my meaning. He's going to turn out for Australia Under 19s in this tournament which starts on Thursday.

 

[Spikey]

Returning for the Aus U19's in coming days (yes he's still eligible). Aiming for the T20 WC. I'm not sure what all that means re possible IPL stint this season

#WIvAUS: Australia 131-4 (36.4 overs) Nevill 10, Forrest 9. WICB President's X1 201 (68.2 overs).
Make it to lunch and I'll class it as "not a total failure'

Cheers. Wonder when was the last time that tournament had a Test player.

Hey Spikey,

 

[Burgey]

Good to see Lyon amongst the wickets. Bodes well, hopefully.

Bit worried about our batting though.
