The squad, with the additions of the Hampshire kids (Agar, Turner etc) and Cummins and a couple of other nobodies are currently playing a scratch match. The Great Man, Steve Smitteh has tonned up in it.

100 up for @stevesmith49 off 104 balls. 13x4, 2x6. Julios 3-189 #AusA

 

[Burgey]

Go The Chad!

 

[adub]

Bosisto also amongst the runs retiring on 73.
Julios 9/317 at the end.

Good hit out by the looks with Lyon getting a 4fer.

Looking forward to seeing how the Nerds fare against Harris, Pattinson and Cummins.

Lol @ Smith being classed as a Julio. Destroys the meaning of the baggy popped collar.

 

[Dan]

Alex Keath - so highly regarded by AusA selectors that they can't even spell his name on scoresheets.

 

[uvelocity]

any full scorecards anywhere? quite a lot of exciting young talent amongst that tbh

Lol @ Smith being classed as a Julio. Destroys the meaning of the baggy popped collar.

Probably a case of it had to be him or Hadds (as tour c and vc) so a coin toss.

Another pole to @jpattinson19 - @travishead34 caught at 1st slip by @stevesmith49 for 12. Nerds 2-27 #AusA

steve smith captaining and at first slip. watch out clarkeh

Why are they called the Nerds? Siddle probably the least nerdiest looking guy going around in all of cricket.

 

[uvelocity]

they all got 95+ on their hsc

Skipper Haddin out bowled by local Jack Sheppard for 16. Nerds now 6-177 #AusA

Bowling a local Englishman in what is an Australia A scratch match? A michael clarke-esque move from Smitteh

 

[Spikey]

although the person in question may not be English

 

[adub]

Pattinson hands out royal punishment

Silk and Maddo with a pair of 60s the only batting highlights for the Nerds with Pattinson taking a 4fer

 

[Daemon]

Couldn't get through those articles. Aware the author was trying to be edgy and funny but yeah, at least provide a cliffs or a link to the scorecard for those of us who don't want to read your fairytale.

[Spikey]

in the first of many mistakes they'll make this tour, aus have decided to open with doolan instead of usman

 

[NUFAN]

Nice sequence of four posts in a row Spikey.

Burgey's boy Silk with the first runs off the bat. I don't think its that bad they've opened with Doolan, if Khawaja is to play Tests it wont be as an opener.
