Hong kong 6's

England named its team.
Wonder who will be in the aussie side,they will send an academy side like they did last time.
In last years team there was dane anderson,nathan reardon,liam buchanan,daniel christian,scott meulman and ken skewes.All made their state debuts last year.
Chris simpson would be useful and played for the pm's xl last year and not in the qld side.
Is in november.

Looking at players not selected in state sides for upcoming games this would be my side:
scott meulaman
liam buchanan
dave dawson
ryan harris
nathan hauritz
grant sullivan
coach tim nielson

May be they should give Jack a go.

As usual the winner will probably be between England, Pakistan and India.

What exactly is the Hong Kong 6's?

6 players a side. 5 overs an inning. everybody other than the wicket keeper bowls an over. and i think you have to retire once you get past 31 runs.Then its not too much different from ODI cricket to be honest

hmmm...I thought Spearman had moved to England and had qualified for them. Not that it matters for a 6 a side competition.

Almost certain he played in the 20/20 challenge thing in WI for 35 years and over former international cricketers earlier in the year.
Interesting point to note: Many famous cricketers found my gf's mum(who was on the medical team) hot. Bodes well for the future.

What a pointless event

Definitely, but i now have an autograph bat with some very big names on it.

Good to see Craig Spearman back representing New Zealand, even if it is in a small event like this and Danny Morrison is generally involved in these sort of things.
