SA Footy

Not my cup of tea, but always happy to see a local lad get some due recognition.

The squad for the 3 T20 Internationals.

Australia’s T20 squad: Aaron Finch (c), Scott Boland, Cameron Boyce, James Faulkner, John Hastings, Travis Head, Nathan Lyon, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Shaun Tait, Andrew Tye, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Shane Watson.

Seems like a pretty good squad to me. Happy they picked people on their t20 form

Zampa unlucky to be over looked for Boyce IMO

Jeez, If Trav and Richo get a gig when is the Last time 2 Redbacks played international cricket together?

Nup Ferg last played ODI in 2011 and Lyon didn't debut until 12 months later

Phil Hughes and Lyon.

Before that - Boof and dizzy then I guess?

Maybe boof and Peter George?

Pretty strong looking squad and alot of quality players have missed out.

I would of loved to see Ben Laughlin in there but they chose Andrew Tye. Fair enough they're pretty similar, it's one of the other really.

Shaun Tait is a surprise in the squad, relived they picked Lynn and stoked they pick Travis Head.

nope

2004 boxing day test vs Pakistan Boof and Dizzy played

in 2009 Phil Hughes and Andrew McDonald played together, but they both werent playing in SA at the time, so i dont think we can count that

In march 2012 Dan Christian and Nathan Lyon played two ODIs with each other, one in the west indies, and one in adelaide vs Sri Lanka

In 2006 Dan Cullen and Dizzy played a test together. That may be the last test match
In 2011 Shaun Tait and Ferg played an ODI

Still trying to find the last T20I

Yes I am bored.

In 2010 Dan Christian and Shaun Tait played 3 T20Is with each other West Indies and NZ

So to summarise

Tests: D Cullen, J Gillespie, 2006
ODIs: D Christian, N Lyon, 2012
T20Is: D Christian, S Tait, 2010

Good research Benny, I like it.

Did you just use Cricinfo and look through a certain players game list to find these answers?

if you go to cricinfo, you can used the advanced filter to search for matches involving as many players as you want,

Then i went to this wiki page to get a list of SA cricketers who had played for australia, and just searched for players that played around the same time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S ... cricketers
