Billies won the toss and are batting first. Subi's back for the dubbers and RodAndTodd makes his debut.

Game is live on Fox.

Maher out cheaply off Subi's first ball.

Ha ha, sucked in.

Is young Mick Buchanan son of The Dreaded?

yep.

If he gets on a roll he could outdo his old man's career in one match.

Mitchell Smchmitchell.

ANyone got an update on this?

Qbillies 180/3 accordng to cricinfo.

Or 3/180 seeing as it's an Aus match...

AH - cricinfo is covering Aust domestic stuff again.

Can't believe how crap the Dubbers attack is.

193/4

Cricinfo is only covering the Franger Cup, JGK.

Moises Henriques can't bowl for nuts. Clark looked good though. Surely he's got to play in the Ashes ahead of McGrath.

Good thing I have Hopes in that Dream Team thingy.

Subi bleeds 18 runs off the last over. Qld 7/264

Young Buck 40 not out off 38 balls in his List A debut. He also made 48 off 27 balls in his only Twenty20 match. Old Buck will be trying to convince the selectors to rush him over to India for Australia's next game.

1.1 Bichel to Simmons, no run, a very wide ball, well outside the guidelines but no according to umpire McNamara - a terrible call that

Stoopid cheating Billy umpires.

Umpire McNamara's a Billy?

No relation to Buzzard?

Froggy gone. Game set and match to the Billies.

That'll be because he's in my Fantasy comp side.

Dubbers 3/12.

Can't think of a crappier Dubber side than this.

I think the NSW selectors dropped 9 regular players when they first brought Hilditch in to captain the side in place of Colley. Don't take that as gospel; from memory only.

Bichel: sheer class

Interesting that Brant is back ... and who is this Sullivan bloke?

A steadfast comment from a reliable source. Might he make the Gilly yet?

No chance. :-)

Been out of the national side for near on three years, and I don't think he is in any of the selectors' minds: they've got plenty of options as it is.
