Trans-Tasman Trophy (NZ in Australia), December 2011/12

[Howsie]

FTR since Franklin made his test comeback in 2008 as a "batting all-rounder", he's averaged 20 with the bat and 126 with the ball!

Ah yes, but what do his IPL stats look like?

Does anyone know whether CA is doing a live stream of the tour match like they do with the sheffield shield games??

Ah yes, but outside India who actually gives a ???? about the IPL?

Test cricket's the true measure of how good a player is, hence Franklin's absolute crap imo.

It's at a non test venue so nope although they probably wouldn't have done it at a test venue anyway.

Australia A: Ed Cowan, David Warner, Nic Maddinson, George Bailey (c), Steven Smith, Matthew Wade (wk), James Pattinson, Ben Cutting, Mitchell Starc, Ben Hilfenhaus, Michael Beer, Tom Cooper (12th)

Going by that side it seems to suggest the bowling will be looking into.

Supposed to kickoff half an hour ago if I'm correct. Weather forecast looks pretty bad for all 4 days, so not sure how much cricket will be played.

 

[aussie1st]

It's started now was delayed by 30 minutes. No wickets thus far to Pattinson and Hilfy, going by the weather it should suit the bowlers too.

 

[Sedition]

Cheers. No scorecard on cricinfo yet, but ninemsn has one.

Australia A vs New Zealand - Tour Match 2011/12 Australia A v New Zealand [4-DAY] Allan Border Field, Brisbane

All you need right there. Not good so far, both Pattinson and Hilfy have taken some stick.

 

[Sedition]

Yeah raining boundaries so far Couldn't find the scorecard on CA before, but looks to be the better of the two

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like Pattinson has been the more likely to get a wicket but like Siddle he has been bowling a lot of 4 balls.

 

[Sedition]

Now Guptill getting in on the act. 54 of 68 runs scored in boundaries lol

 

[angryangy]

I can only assume the short pitched bowling is deliberate.

 

[aussie1st]

So far Johnson and Siddle are shoe ins for the first test if Harris doesn't recover.

 

[Sedition]

I'm getting out of here before the Kiwis get back from the shearing sheds

It was also weird how Cutting came on as 3rd change, only bowling one over in the shortened session. To say they can do better is a vast understatement.
