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

Yes I find it very harsh to blame Cricinfo for the lack of 100% accuracy in covering these games. I can imagine only a couple of hundred people are actually at the ground watching this. We are lucky enough to be receiving updates on a regular basis.

Australia appear to be making a poor effort in this chase. Some of our selections who I don't agree with (Warner, Paine and O'Keefe) have all failed with the bat.

Hastings I can understand, but now cricinfo says Mitch Starc is batting above Maddinson and Wade.

Because that makes complete sense...

Ok, ok, I promise not to say 'cr**info' again.

Zimcricket are letting people in for free so far as I have read, so I would hope that there are more than a couple of hundred people there.

I hope the scorer has all the names right anyway. These matches count for stats.

Whoever the person is that is Mitchell Starc, he's managed to hit some boundaries so that is useful. Wadey is probably intent on coming out at 11 after all his exertions opening the bowling.

I'll go with Paine being in now, Wade being the guy run out for a duck, Maddinson at 3 and Ferguson at 5

So it's Maddinson still batting by your reckoning? He's the youngest bloke on the tour, it would be cool if he's showing a proper head for the game.

He has come out at 3 in the two previous matches.

article up that seems to confirm the batting order (Zimbabwe A Team Tri-Series: Callum Ferguson fifty gives Australia A third win | Zimbabwe A Team Tri-Series Report | Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo) but to me it seems like someone has just reported what happened on the scorecard rather than actually saw the action, so probably not real proof yet
That has got to be off the scorecard. Wade has opened the bowling on the card still. I know Paine and him are mates, but it must have been Copeland no matter how much Wade begged so it's well dodgy.

What's with these all low scoring games. Batting is the biggest concern for all 3 teams bowling is fine.
Or matches the pitches are just playing like turd.


Anyway, cricinfo finally seem to have corrected the Australian bowling card.

Code:
	Bowling		O	M	R	W	Econ	
		
	TA Copeland	9.2	0	22	1	2.35		
	MA Starc	9	1	34	3	3.77	(2w)	
	JW Hastings	10	0	27	1	2.70	(2nb, 1w)	
	SNJ O'Keefe	10	1	32	1	3.20	(1w)	
	NM Lyon		10	1	38	3	3.80
The batting lineup is still the same though, with Starc and Hastings having batted instead of Maddinson and Wade. I think it's somewhat possible that did actually happen, even though I'm not quite sure why...

Wade tweeted that he got injured during the match. I don't know about Maddinson though.

Not sure why Lyon has bowled so many overs if he's getting hammered. Surely give SOK or one of the pacers a bowl?

well I guess the batting order was true. Wade and Maddinson must have smashed into each other or something in the field.

SOK gets the vital wicket - Lyon should to be waiting for the tailenders to come in before bowling again.
