    SCAM $99.50 Gift from QANTAS??

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    Victory!!! Nine games in a row after losing to India and South Africa. Beat all teams playing in the tournament so deserving winners even if not best performed overall. India were a good team beaten on the day. Probably needed to be tested more in earlier games to see their plan B, C and Ds...
