Matador's Cup Match 01: New South Wales vs Cricket Australia XI

[eth-dog]

NSW to win. Sides:

New South Wales: Maddinson, Cowan, Smith (c), Henriques, Nevill (+), Carters, Abbott, O'Keefe, Starc, Sandhu, Lyon

CA XI: Harris, Peirson (+), Bosisto (c), Gotch, Short, Gregory, Blazley, Wildermuth, Hatcher, Swepson, Dixon

 

[Van_Dyke]

Dixon has been bowling fairly well, Hatcher wasn't too bad, but expensive in his 1st.

 

[Showbags]

Was hoping Maddinson had curbed his aggression somewhat over the off season..........First ball I watch is a big windy woosh, head in the air, feet nowhere, over cow.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Cowan out hooking off Bazley. 1/56.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Maddinson 50 off 54 balls. Decent effort, did his best to get out though on 49.

 

[Showbags]

This CA XI is going to be hammered so badly all tournament that they won't be back next year I'd say. Smith and Maddinson are doing it easy.

They said it'd be a two year trial.

Not sure they've picked a strong enough bowling lineup.

 

[ag6858]

NSW finally starting to tee off. Had been a bit of a yawnfest so far, no real pressure applied by either side.

 

[RickSanchez]

Wait, so Cricket Australia are a side in this competition?
Why?
Forgive me, I am very late to the party.

It's a youth side. Under 23 basically.

Test players coming back has made it all the more harder but this type of result had to be expected, the need to be gifted the toss to have any hope.

[ag6858]

2/8, this could get ugly very quickly.
Is anyones stream working btw?

 

[Milksteak]

2/8,

Nope, just showing the previous innings

 

[ag6858]

Same here.

3/9 Gotch lbw for 1. Solid experiment by CA

 

[Torz]

3/9

My monies on NSW from here.

Bunch of kids and leftovers against full strength state sides......great idea....

 

[The_Reaper]

Lowest ever total is 51 for SA v Tassie

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/matad.../team/largest_margins.html?id=122;type=trophy
Largest win is by 219 runs

Looks like we'll have those two records broken today.

 

[Torz]

How is Hilton Cartwright not in their first XI?

 

[RickSanchez]

CAXI seems like a ****ing waste of time.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

No doubt CA XI were in for a world of hurt once the Bangladesh tour was cancelled.

Will still beat the Redbacks though.

 

[Showbags]

Getting hit for 338 is not entirely disgraceful at Bankstown Oval. But being 7-32 on the same ground certainly is.
