Such a pity it's only pyjama stuff

 

[randomgamer]

Should be fun

 

[mercurial]

No tests? What a farce.

 

[NeonNinja]

Should be awesome! Timing is superb! No tests? Bummer.

 

[stefan9]

Its in preparation for the world cup, makes sense to have no tests. The focus is the wc currently.

Wait aren't we to play NZ in 2 T20's next month?

Amla the master:

Batting at the top of the order gives Amla the luxury of knowing he has plenty of overs in hand, but it also considerably reduces the chances of him being not-out. In 95 innings, he has remained unbeaten only seven times, and yet he averages more than 54, which means his runs-per-innings value (runs scored divided by all innings, including not-outs) is incredibly high. At 50.42, Amla's RPI is 14% better than the next highest, among batsmen who have scored at least 2000 ODI runs. Kohli is second again in this list, with an RPI of 44.20.

ODI = Cricket
T20 = BS

Tests = Cricket
ODI + T20 = BS

FTFY

You're right actually.

Australia vs South Africa 1st T20I, Adelaide

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/754717.html

It's time for Australia v South Africa, but not quite as we know it. The first T20 will feature two experimental line-ups, led by Aaron Finch and JP Duminy respectively, and among the things to look forward to include Shane Watson's return to international cricket and international debuts for a number of players from both sides. Is there anyone among you who can illuminate us about the merits of Reeza Hendricks, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Reardon and Ben Dunk?

 

[Creag]

Australia have won the toss and have chosen to bat

 

[Creag]

Australia's line-up: Aaron Finch (c), Cameron White, Shane Watson, Ben Dunk (wk), Nathan Reardon, James Faulkner, Ben Cutting, Pat Cummins, Kane Richardson, Cameron Boyce, Doug Bollinger.

Ben Dunk and Nathan Reardon will make their international debut tonight. They received their maiden caps from Mike Hussey.

 

[Creag]

South Africa line up: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw, JP Duminy (capt), David Miller, Farhaan Behardien, Ryan McLaren, Imran Tahir, Wayne Parnell, Kyle Abbott, Kagiso Rabada

Parnell is fit, while Reeza Hendricks and Kagiso Rabada make their maiden appearance for South Africa.

 

[Hectic]

Good catch to get rid of White.

 

[Creag]

Liam: "Reason/s why it's sparsely populated, Mariah Carey is performing across town tonight, The Rolling Stones and Miley Cyrus have been in town over the past 2 weeks, big Adelaide United game on Friday night and 2 Katy Perry concerts early next week. Lots happening in Adelaide lately and leads to lots of empty pockets and seats unfortunately."
