The last and first time the Chappell Hadlee Trophey was contested was in Aust and it was 1 all with a wash out, so both teams had hold of it.

Wow! Third of all time. Amazing stuff.

[Punk Rooster]

Did Symonds reach 50 off of 16 balls? If so, is that the quickest half century? Hm balls for his 100?

[spell_check]

He went from 100 to 150 in 16 balls.
