They won by so much that I believe it would have been Australia's worst defeat ever - only it was not an official game (just a practice game for an upcoming tournament) and Australia's best player wasn't playing.

Cricket is incredibly complex - far more complex than baseball - but great fun to watch in a stadium.

The best teams right now are probably South Africa, India, West Indies and New Zealand.
