Sydney Sixers Sydney Sixers Sydney Sixers CANADA BAY SPORTS QUARTER Newsletter Edition 16 December 2014 Message from the Mayor The cricket community has suffered a huge loss in recent weeks with the passing of Phil Hughes, a tragic accident that has seen the sporting world united in their tributes and condolences. I know our own cricket community has been deeply shocked by this but I am sure all sporting codes and groups will be very supportive as bats and balls are once again picked up and a well-loved sport played. Midway through the summer season and the reports around the clubs are that teams are doing well and progressing through their respective competitions. I hope this continues for all our sporting clubs though the end of the season and look forward to hearing of all the success. Recent challenges have unfortunately played a factor in the scheduled cricket events that were to take place at Drummoyne Oval this summer but the Sydney Sixers are still locked in for Sunday, 14 December which will be a great T20 warm up game against an SCG XI. It’s a free event for the community so it’s a good opportunity to bring the family along to one of our best sporting venues. Good luck to all those involved in the competitions and varied sports participated in, your involvement leads to an ever more dynamic and vibrant community that can be enjoyed by all. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Subsequently the Australians have a perfect record – winning tournaments in the West Indies (2010), Sri Lanka (2012) and Bangladesh (2014). Today’s match is the eleventh T20I to be played between Australia and India. The first encounter between the two countries in Australia was at Sydney in the 2008/09 season and the most recent was in Adelaide three days ago. They have also met five times in India and three at neutral venues, two of which were during women’s T20 World Cups. Summary results are shown below.
