Match Preview
South Australia are strong competition and are likely to enter as slight underdogs to the strong NSW side that has been listed. Two strong additions to the South Australian side include Phil Hughes and the south African international Johan Botha. The NSW is very young today with the bowlers but has a very experienced batting side with the likes of Shane Watson, Brad Haddin and Michael Clarke.







Match Result
We lost! Batting from us was really poor, Watson was the only standout really and Rohrer with a classy run a ball 33 was handy when we lost a few quick wickets. Michael Clarke infuriated me with his lack of urgency hitting in the last couple of overs. Phil Hughes scored a century against us and Ferguson batted well, Watson bowled like shit but Mitchell Starc was very economical.
Batting Award- Watto batted really well unlucky about the hundred.
Bowling Award- Mitchell Starc, economical, and was very much unlucky to have two dropped catches but took one wicket!

Australian League Match VS South Australia

The only changes from the one day lineup are Peter Nevill for Haddin and Daniel Hughes for Steve Smith. Hughes moves to three while Watson drops down to 6.

Match Preview
They are a team in form and having just lost to them they have all the momentum. Will be wary of Hughes, Ferguson and the dark horse Tim Ludeman. A young bowling attack will again lead the front but I will need a big impression from Hazelwood for him to warrant selection in coming games.



Match Result
Yes!! What a win. Ben Rohrer an absolutely amazing, a true captains knock!! Dave Warner and Daniel Hughes also batted well for their 50’s and impressed me a lot. Bowling wise O’Keefe was the standout, Starc Impressive and Cummins was looking great before a first innings injury.
Batting Award- Ben Rohrer- Couldn’t go past him, a captains knock when we needed it.
Bowling Award- Steve O’Keefe- Vice Skipper and bowled brilliantly!
