[Plugger35]

Munsey is teeing off here.

Hardie gets a pole

gone

 

[Plugger35]

Tough for Scotland now with Munsey gone but they still have a few handy hitters left.

 

[Plugger35]

Another poor innings from Berrington, lucky for him he plays for Scotland, a lot of other batsmen would be under pressure.

He's been around for ages though despite not playing many good innings against good quality international bowling attacks.

 

[Plugger35]

McMullen playing like McCullum.

 

[Plugger35]

What a shot from McMullen, taking Green downtown for six.

 

[Plugger35]

McMullen taking down Zampa now.

Bringing up a well deserved fifty.

 

[Plugger35]

Unravelling now for Scotland.

Ellis ruled out of the ODIs, Meredith staying on

Shame for ellis opportunity for Meredith his pace looks up

They’re taking the piss now with team selection. Connolly in to debut at 9. Effectively only picking Zampa and Abbott as bowlers, with the rest shared between Connolly, Hardie, Stoinis, Marsh and maybe David/Head.

Australia is taking the piss on this game when Pat Cummins is cheering the Sydney Swans (yes Sydney Swans of all teams) at the SCG in the final over GWS (being a Penrith boy), over playing in this tour.

Cooper Connolly gets T20I cap 111.

ODI cap 111 was Matthew Hayden and Test cap 111 Jack Ryder.

Good company to be in.

First time I have heard of Jack Ryder.

First time I have heard of Jack Ryder.

Australian captain in the late 20s, test double century.

 

[freo_leo29]

Coops hype

 

[NYRB]

Australian captain in the late 20s, test double century.

Just read something that he remains the only test player to be run out on debut in both innings.

Averaged 51.62 or so, thats not too shabby an average given he played 20 test matches.

 

[NYRB]

You play Scotland v Australia 100 times in T20 cricket, Scotland can beat the Aussies in at least 10 games with these squads in particular.

I JUST CAN'T STAND THE EVENING ON MY OOOOWWWWN.

What a friggen bop at midnight on a cold Melbourne evening.

Adam Zampa, Australia's version of Phil Tuffnel

 

[big_e]

Score currently 123/5

 

[Plugger35]

McMullen with another great fifty, he is carrying Scotland's batting line up again.

 

[Plugger35]

Watt joining in with a great six.
