Australians Dominate Phuket Cricket Sixes
Finals Day of the 2011 Phuket International Cricket Sixes took place on Sunday in glorious sunshine and soaring temperatures, interrupted only briefly by a tropical downpour at Karon Stadium in Phuket, Thailand.
The finale of the Spoon Division brought together two Australian teams, the Cockatoos from Adelaide and, making their debut at the Sixes, the Gold Coast Falcons from Queensland. The Cockatoos featured former Australian national team captain Karen Rolton, and she took to the wayward Falcons bowling immediately in a brief and breezy innings of 20 not out off just 4 balls before retiring. Eddy was also in bludgeoning mood as he also retired having made 21, the Cockatoos posting 75 without loss. The Falcons were pegged back by accurate ‘Toos bowling, particularly by Treens, Karen Rolton and Rah Rah, and although Zaac retired on 20 not out the Falcons ended their run chase with 45, giving the Adelaide outfit the win and the silverware.
