1st T20I: Australia v Sri Lanka at Melbourne Feb 17, 2017

[TheParraboy]

Another round of Shield games to be played before this 3 game series starts.

Should have been played right after the BBL

We will have our 2nd string side basically,

SL 3-0

 

[Iafeta]

Third string really. When blokes like Doolan, Quiney, Maddo and Mennie are held back as they are the official India tour stand bys it becomes third string. Did our boy Hazlett get in? What a gun.

 

[mave]

Parra mate.
You are a month out in the post title.
Not that it matters for this abomination of a series.

You are just breathing a sigh of relief you didn't get the chance to come up against any of those absolute guns, they would of tore your boys apart.

I'm so excited about this match. The 3 weeks buildup since the last odi against Pakistan has been spine tingling.

[Timbo]

Completely forgot about this.

 

[Twizzle]

Completely forgot about this.

completely understandable

 

[TheParraboy]

Wonder what the crowd will be like?

Renegades v Stars usually get well over 60k don't they? record of 81k last year

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Huge Sri Lankan expat community in Melbourne should get the crowd figure up a bit.

 

[TheParraboy]

SL need 170 to win v PMs XI

Heazlett 58 (37)
Voges 54no (31)

 

[Twizzle]

SL won by heaps

SFA. AFLW is on.

 

[Twizzle]

I actually watched about 10 mins of AFLW while surfing through the Fox channels to see what the fuss was about.

Seriously, park footy would give this a run for its money. I don't men to be sexist but the skill levels were atrocious.

Could explain why the 2nd t20 is on at GEELONG

Hope at least it wont be an AFL wankfest during the commentary
