Australia A v Sri Lanka A @ Allan Border Field, Brisbane

[zombie jesus]

Aus A bowled out for 208.

Failures all round for the batsmen, score made a little respectable by 61 from O'Keefe and 42 from Hilfy.

SL 1/17 at the end of the first day.

And O'Keefe picked up the wicket, he's an improving player.

 

[Twizzle]

go the bluebaggers

 

[johnkelley]

Sri Lanka all out 103, O'Keefe 7/35 off 18 overs to follow up his 61 with the bat, fair effort that.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

me be a bloody big bunsen burner

SL offie took 8 wickets and SOK 7

 

[aussies1st]

Well that puts the first innings into prospective. O'Keefe is improving as a longer form spinner, even took over Smith as the main spinner for NSW.

 

[zombie jesus]

Wow, nice match from O'Keefe.

Spinners paradise.

SL opened the bowling with 2 spinners in the 2nd dig.

6/154 at the moment, a few 30's.

Allan Border field is normally a pretty good batting deck, amazing that finger spinners are running amok.

 

[lockyno1]

Cameron White would get 5 wickets on that pitch!

 

[IanG]

Well it is Winter so maybe it's playing a bit slower because of that

 

[hineyrulz]

Cameron White would get 5 wickets on that pitch!

And maybe even turn one.

End day 2. Aus A 6/240, George Bailey 75* and O'Keefe 47*.

 

[Twizzle]

geez, O'Keefe cant do any wrong

 

[hineyrulz]

He's a good chance for MOTM.

 

[zombie jesus]

End day 3.
Aus A 318, Bailey 87, Hilfenhaus 50, O'Keefe didn't improve on his 47.
SL 5/224, George 5/55.
SL need 200 to win, final day tomorrow.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Aus A won by about 100 runs

Hilfy picked up all 5 wickets today

 

[zombie jesus]

Strange game, good to see Hilfy bag 5 though. Let's hope he pulls up ok.

 

[aussies1st]

Good games for the bowlers, not much in it for the batsmen.
