CA Chairman's XI v England at Alice Springs, Nov 29th - 30th, 2013

[Timbo]

Not only is this match being streamed through CATV but it has graphics, multiple camera angles and commentators.

 

[Twizzle]

probabaly better than nein

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Poms 51/2 Carberry 6, Root 22 out.
Prior 11* and Ballance 10* at the crease. Prior looking very aggressive, Ballance is like a snail.
IR Bell, JM Bairstow, BA Stokes, ST Finn, WB Rankin, MS Panesar, GP Swann still to come.
I will be interested to see how Stokes goes.

The difference in quality between this match and the Sheffield Shield is massive. Why can't all matches have the same streaming quality

 

[madunit]

Poms now 3/72
Carberry 6 (30)
Root 22 (34)
Ballance 17* (63)
Prior 19 (27)
Stokes 6* (14)

Lalor, herrick and Mackin all with a wicket each

Or the match England played against the NSW XI?

I made this point the other day, and this match clearly illustrates it's possible.

Good promotion for the NT despite the fact the heat there at this time of the year rivals Qatari heat

What did Daryl Somers once say: "You'll never never know, if you never never go?"

I can live without commentary, multiple cameras and even graphics if they just show the scoreboard after evey over. The least they could do is fix the f**king video quality. Surely it isn't that hard

Has anyone here been to Alice Springs? One of the true boundaries to civilisation, Rabbit Flat Roadhouse in Western Australia is also another place in Australia which is "the middle of nowhere"

On the grandstand commentary, they say the amount of travelling Australians tend to do in their own country is head out to Maroubra :lol:

 

[Twizzle]

what's the pitch like ?

 

[madunit]

If its the same as when i lived there 7 years ago, bowler friendly, a bit of uneven bounce.

I lived there for 6 months back in 2006.

The heat is not that bad as its dry, go inside & its automatically a huge amount cooler.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Good thing it is a 2 day match Poms in trouble

152/6
Carberry 6
Root 22
Ballance 55
Prior 19
Stokes 28
Bell 13
Bairstow 3*
Swann 3*

Its so isolating though

Outside of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia gets very sparse and isolated when those 3 hubs are left behind

 

[Xfactor1979]

And England have declared at 212

Doesnt seem like a lot, but its roasting out there

 

[Timbo]

Prior is in all sorts.

If it wasn't for the loss of Trott I reckon they'd be tempted to replace him with Bairstow.

 

[BunniesMan]

Ballance is a talent. I hope they don't pick him.

 

[Twizzle]

looking at the so called highlights on Fox, the poms were getting our or "retiring" after and hour or so becasue they couldn't handle the near 40 degree heat, lol

 

[hineyrulz]

Ballance is a talent. I hope they don't pick him.

Going by your track record he is a chump who will be completely owned by the Aussie bowlers. I hope they pick him now.

 

[Sphagnum]

Lol. You are the worst judge of talent since that shirt lifter with the fathead on Idol.
