Aussies lose two quick wickets after solid start


Quick wickets

21 runs

Marsh and Warner get 21 runs from Ruben Trumpelmann’s first overs as the score is 39/0 in 3 overs now.

Australia start chase

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh open for AUS and they start well. It should be easy practice for them. It is 9/0 after 1 over.

Namibia should be happy

Courtesy a late cameos by Zake Green (38 off 30) and Malan Kruger (18 off 11), Namibia manage to reach 119/9 in their 20 overs.

Namibia continue to struggle

And finally Namibia has brought up their 100, albeit after a lot of struggle. They would like to reach at least 120, as it is 100/7 in 18 overs.

Not looking good

And in a space of a few more deliveries, Australia has picked up two more wickets. Zampa has his third, and even Tim David has one. The score moves to 70/6 after 14 overs.

Another one..

A small partnership seems to be brewing between JP Kotze and Gerhard Erasmus here as the score moves to 45/3. Oh no, as we said this, Zampa has removed Kotze. Make it 45/4 now.

Out

It is all happening very quickly here. Now Adam Zampa removes Jan Frylinck for 1 as he is trapped in front of wicket. It is 29/3 in 7 overs.

Out

Now Hazlewood has another wicket here. He has removed the second opener Nikolaas Davin for 14 from 13. Looks like one of the sub has taken the catch. It is 22/2 after 6 overs.

Early Struggles

As expected, Australia have picked up an early wicket here. Hazlewood with the first wicket as opener Michael van Lingen is out for a duck. NAM 12/1 in 3 overs.

AUS play full strength..

There were fears that Australia would have to field support staff members to be able to play the warm up match, since some of the players were on a break. And George Bailey (selection chief) and Andre Borovec (fielding coach) comprise the XI.

AUS to bowl

The match is already underway, and under-strength Australia have opted to bowl first.
