*Official* Australia A in New Zealand 2022/23

Flem274*

123/5
Our boys lost 8 wickets for the same amount of runs they took 17 wickets for. Dominating show from Aus A!

Congrats on our moral (real) victory
I thought of you the other week when I came across a scorecard.

Turns out the oh so generous Australia declared at...486/9 in the first test of the 01 series. 84/2 in the second to make time for a victory as is encouraged in cricket.

Meanwhile the lucky kiwis also made a very sporting declaration, declaring well behind at 287/8 with two bowling allrounders in.

One team had more to gain from a timid draw there.


2nd test only saw one and a bit completed innings, albeit Australia well on top.


3rd test as well all know NZ were on track until cheating scared Aussies bowled wides.

I suggest you return to the very deep 2019/20 series well for your lending opportunities, which you will find are endless in that disgraceful surrender.

More like Australia 'c'. This is the C team. The real 'a' teams were the ones in the shield final.

Guys like will Sutherland (now injured), Bancroft, Hardie, Morris, Paris(now injured) or Boland.
NZ C as well due to IPL, NZ-SL white ball series, injuries, and dumb selections.

They bowled wides to stop us winning the 1st test (we needed 10 runs while they needed 4 wickets).

A deaf Zimbabwean umpire stopped us winning the 3rd test.

Yeah I was going to say Flem, it was the first Test where scared McGrath was bowling wides

Aus were robbed in the 3rd Test by blind umpire letting Warney get caught on 99 off a clear no-ball

I reckon he saw it but thought it was too funny not to give out.

Also I was a child at the time I'm allowed to get my details mixed. Main gist is NZ pure, wonderful, players certainly never obnoxious or engaged in alleged match fixing later in life. Aus are bad and evil and details must be viewed in the worst possible light. Bunnings sandpaper.

Tbf, iirc, Warne nicked off to Bond when he was on about 60 and wasn’t given. That test was a bit of a shower for the umpires.

That was the game where Cairns had Langer (I think) stone dead LBW in the first over and it wasn't given.

Surprised to check the score and see that they got up! Foxcroft really knocking on the door across all formats now. Lovely cameo from Dougeh.

Wait what? Last thing from memory was that we were getting badly owned. Great to see lots of players chipping in.
Can't be too far away now from unleashing the Fox

I haven't seen too much of him tbf (a few white ball knocks) but I think he needs more red ball runs just so he can graduate knowing how to play long innings even though he will likely bat at #7.

On checking I see his FC average has jumped like 15 runs this season. It was in the 20s during his absence.

Still though, if I'm to remain consistent then he has a bit of work to do to outshine Cole McConchie.

Have there been any recent updates on how Cairns is getting on, health wise? I'd heard he was slowly on the mend but that was ages ago.
The big man is learning to walk again, albeit with some technological assistance. But given he was paralysed by a spinal stroke recently, she's pretty inspiring stuff
