Story The Australian Challenge|3rd Test Match|Blake, give us your lineup!

@ Ollie - Why is Johnson batting ahead of Vettori???
Vettori is a proven international all-rounder, while Johnson is a lot more of a bowler...

Cos I trust Vettori as a batsmen to score me runs and I know he can hang about, Mitch can come in and have a smack. It is only a trial game anyways.
 
If you guys want kits and logos you'll have to get them yourselves D:

I'm hoping to get the four day game up by tonight, but don't hold your breath :|
Anyway, I need your bowlers :D

@Holdenator, James Smith is a batsman, not a bowler

Kookaburras XI      463/5d
Kangaroos XI        201 & 433/9              
   
Kookaburras XI draw with Kangaroos XI
  
Man of the match: Michael Clarke

Despite having a weaker side the Kookaburras XI came out on top in this draw. They set a big total, and then routed the very strong Kangaroos line-up. Their youngsters were very good, Usman Khawaja desperately unlucky not to get a ton.

In their follow-on innings the Kangaroos were once again shaky at the top. Their only positives from this game, a brilliant ton from Moises Henriques, and good support from Bailey and Steven Smith.

This game really shapes up what looks to be an exciting summer!




AN/Sorry, the write-up wasn't very good, no time. I'll pay someone to do a proper one, for each game?
