Anyone remember this series?

1999 Aus A vs India A in Los Angeles, 5 match one day series. check the teams, bloody awesome lineups, Brett Lee was unplayable and bowling close in 160k's in every match. Laxman looked to be a class above every other batsman, even Sehwag. I still go back and watch this series, one of the best ive ever seen, was very excited at the time when it was on tv. All the pitches were sub standard but it made for riveting watching. Weird to see cricket in the USA.

AXN America Challenge (Aus-A,Ind-A) in USA, September 1999

Ive got some footage of the 1990 tour to the USA, Australia played a few games there too back then, horrendous pitches!

USA did not get an ICC approved venue until 3 years ago. So yea the grounds were probably ████. We easily have the nicest associate stadium in World Cricket now

This series had some terrible pitches and no wonder Lee in his youth and fresh in International cricket was full on bowling lethal deliveries.

Wow we have a horrible team. Laxman is the only decent player, maybe along with Sehwag and Kaif.

LOL, Australia: Brett Lee, Adam Gilchrist, Damien Martyn, Brad Hodge, Andrew Symonds... holy crap.

Shane Lee was also handy back then.
