Cricket On Again Today Australia Vs Pakistan U/19's

I had a great day at the cricket where Australia played Pakistan in an U/19 day/night match at the Caloundra Cricket Ground. It is suggested that several of these lads will go on to represent their respective countries in Test matches.

There was some great hard hitting and sensational batting. Pakistan easily accounted for Australia by 100 runs in this the third match which now sits at Australia 2 wins, Pakistan 1 win. The two teams are playing again today with another match scheduled for tomorrow.

One of the Australian players is a young chap by the name of Kumar Sarna. He plays for Dandenong in the Melbourne Premier Competition and was a member of this season's Dandenong CC Premiership team. I took great delight in telling him we had something in common, that we both opened the batting for Dandenong! Shame it is about 35 years apart! Fred, a former President of the Dandenong CC and with an involvement there of well over 40 years was watching the game too.
