Emerging Players Tournament 2009 (Aus, NZ, SA, IND)

[Howsie]

AIS were bowled out for 176

India are chasing it down quickly at the moment though, 0-77 after 11 overs.

This Rahane batsmen looks like a good prospect, a FC average of 61 is always nice

 

[Howsie]

Duval has picked up three wickets so far, India have just lost three wickets for about 10 runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Our bowlers are leaking runs again just like the SA game. Duval has done well so far, probably the best bowler for AIS. India is starting to wobble with only 26 runs needed after losing their 5th wicket.

New Zealand loses again and Williamson, Kitchen and Raval were batting 6,7,8 which is something I just don't understand.

Fulton's in some decent form though, he scored 90 today. And I see Chris Martin played which is really weird.

Lost off the last ball lols. Southee needs to work on his economy. He's getting frequent wickets which is a good sign though. Why on earth did Martin play?

I have no idea tbh.

You're right about Southee though, the good thing though is that he is picking up early wickets and bowling quite fast, good signs.

Martin and Fulton GTFO.

Fulton has proved hes not up to Test Cricket, so we shouldn't play him in a Emerging Players team FFS. Martin is going to get nothing out of these games compared to some young player aka. Trent Boult.

 

[Howsie]

You have to wonder what Boult's done to piss the selectors off, I mean he's only 19 he played in this last year and he was called up into the NZ team for the Chappell-Hadlee series.

For a kid with so much talent I hope NZC don't waste it.

Australia

South Africa made 227 in there 50 overs. Ais need to win this game and they are currently 5/18 of 5.2 overs.

De Villers has cleaned up

 

[SaiSrini]

Ajinkya Rahane looks a hell of a prospect. Though he has been tremendously consistent in recent times, the media exposure that some of the other guys get hasnt been given to him much (which can be good in a way). He will definitely play for India in the next 2-3 years. He has had a wonderful tournament so far (3rd fifty so far?).

 

[Howsie]

Fourth ball after lunch and Australia lose another wicket

Make that 7-20

 

[Howsie]

44 all out

 

[aussie1st]

Is that a joke? How on earth did they get bowled out for 44.
Can't believe India is still a chance to make the finals, thought they had lost most of their games. Hope NZ beat them.

REALLY!? :laugh. . I thought they were out for sure! That's good news! Hopefully it'll spur them on to finally play some decent cricket.

I dont think Indians will win when it matters. But if they make to finals then you know RSA history. :banana2
