Webster on a hatty to close the innings...

Pretty sure I dazzlered them by saying that this XI bats deep, as they collapse to be all out for less than 60.

 

[Tugga27]

Really surprising that Beau Webster hasn't played for Australia or even hardly gets mentioned.

 

[RookiePick]

lol. Webster didn't get a chance Stanlake did the team hattrick instead FFS. lol.

Between him and Stanlake I can only conclude that our Achilles heel is ugly 200cm+ right handed bowlers.

Went from 1/45 to 53 all out

 

[Tugga27]

Don't know what the record is for ducks in an innings, but we've got 6 of them.

Pretty hard for Richardson, Paris and Morris to build match fitness when they bowl about 3 overs before Tassie chase down the target

Been working for the last few hours, how many balls did it take us to pass 100?

It's OK, they'll get rested next game......

Africa is a bit of a mess when it comes to naming conventions of the countries.

Guinea
Guinea-Bissau
Equatorial Guinea

3 different countries

Similarly 'Republic of Congo' and 'Democratic Republic of Congo' are 2 different nations

Isn’t Gambia the character Channing tatum plays in deadpool?

It was Zaire once upon a time.

From what I can gather the term 'Guinea' derives from an old European generic description of people who lived along the Senegal River. Seeing as it flowed through the three territories (which were initially French Guinea, Spanish Guinea and Portuguese Guinea respectively) the name Guinea stuck when the countries gained independence (Guinea = French, Guinea-Bissau = Portuguese, Equatorial Guinea = Spanish).
