Aussie Matador Cup

I'm quite enjoying this comp with the highlights on YouTube.

This is a great shot by Ben cutting – he can hit a loooong ball.



Queensland looking strong.

Yeah, watched a bit of it yesterday. The main problem is that the boundaries at North Sydney are club boundaries, so 300 is below par. Nice to see Cummins bowling again.

Yeah, it wasn't the best scheduling on a Wednesday when it was almost certain to rain

Is this the equivalent of the one day cup in England? Or is it just a warm up/pre season event?

Its the state one day competition, but its set up in a tournament format over a few weeks and over a few grounds, to best replicate a world cup type environment to prepare players the best.

Yeah North Sydney is so small so every score is so exaggerated there. Does make for some interesting batting in the last 10 overs though.

Is it bad that as an Englishman I find the Aussie domestic one-day comp fair more entertaining then the English one and the standard is better....
Quicker bowlers
Bigger hitters
Better fielders, Matthew Wade's run out was sheer brilliance

I forgot about the Wade run out, one of the best keeper efforts ive seen.
Wade's incredible run-out

One of the main reasons that we'd like to watch it is because it's a completely different viewing to ours, different will always capture attention. As for the standard being better, that's also probably down to the fact that we have far more sides than the Australian's. They've only got to field the best 6 sides from the states which is going to create a higher standard from a sport which I'd say 95% of Australian's take an interest in, in some way or another.

Youtube might be your best bet, or Cricket Australia's website is normally good for an online feed when a game is on live!

You can, but you need an HD sort of package. It does exist, ch 209.

The channel GEM is seriously confusing me, can't get it on a tele in a different room? It finds the channel just doesn't pick up a picture..

The bear Cam White with yet another fifty today for Vics. Crazy stats over the past two seasons in OD cricket
