As http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 A started their innings today, Finch, without adding another run, was clean bowled by Ray Price on the last ball of the 74th over.
The one-down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Khawaja-c2729, went on duck. These two breakthroughs in the beginning of the 3rd Day, perked up the shattered morals of the Zimbabweans.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-Ferguson-c1264, the top-order batsman of Australia A, along with Warner, soon turned the rivals’ joy into agony by playing aggressively and scoring massively.
The next 14 overs proved to be much costly for the Zimbabweans as the third-wicket partnership added 78 runs in the innings.
Ferguson, while he was just 2 runs away from his fifty, stepped forward to hit a six but misjudged the ball, which went straight to the hands of the wicketkeeper and he was declared out. He scored 48 off 90 balls with the help of 6 boundaries.
The next man in, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TD-Paine-c2652, the skipper, could not do well and went out after making just 6 runs from 18 deliveries.
Warner was then joined by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Marsh-c1974. Warner batted excellently and lashed 208 runs not out off 341 balls till the end of the first session on Day 3. He hit 21 fours and 2 sixes to complete his two tons.
In the bowling line-up of Zimbabwe XI, Price took 2 wickets while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/E-Chigumbura-c1411 bowled one player each.
Australia A will resume their innings after the lunch break from 390 runs. Their run rate is going 3.57 per over.
