[TheParraboy]

I hear poms will be fielding near test line up for this one
Clarke, Siddle, Harris being rested from the Sheild games

Cricinfo has this as an Aust inv XI side to take on the poms

CA website has it as NSW Inv XI

 

[Timbo]

Is this one going to be televised? It's a stronger team than the Australia A side.

 

[TheParraboy]

not televised on free to air from what I can see

 

[RHCP]

[TheParraboy]

Looks like QLD got their way, they asked that Khawaja not play in this game cause they have a few injuries

 

[TheParraboy]

Im assuming Okeefe is captain? (Should be playing in the shield game imo)

 

[steggz]

Nevill is skipper.

Strong batting lineup, bowling is at the lower end of Shield standard

 

[Victorious Secret]

What has O'keefe done to be continually shafted by the hierarchy?

 

[jargan83]

Voges out due to a back complaint and O'Keefe out due to being called into the NSW side for a Shield game

Replaced by Kurtis Patterson and James Muirhead

It's being streamed on the CA website. Terrible quality with no sound or graphics but better than nothing.

Finch out cheaply straight up (he is simply not a 4 day player) and Ferguson never looked settled against Broad who hit his pads several times before having him LBW.

Eddy Cowan has dug in well and is currently at the crease with Patterson, CAXI 2/37 after 14.3.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

3/85 at lunch. Cowan 51 n.o Rohrer 14n.o.
Broad has grabbed 2 wickets already, while Finn continues to struggle, he picked up Pattinson for 5 but his last 2 overs before lunch went for 20 runs.

Some amazing names in the Invo 11

Layla!

And Tremain, (Simpsons quote) the boy who lost his arm in the war, he should rename himself Johnny De-formed!

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I was watching the net session at Blacktown and O'Keefe had a sook at Sandhu.

FLMAO. Was a right proper twit.

Lost his rag and the missus winks and mutters so he can hear her, noting his attitude was probably the perfect reason he was on the outer.

Somehow this match finished yesterday with an outright result

You wouldnt have got a ball bowled this afternoon
