boomers went down by 3 points,by the look of the live scores on one hd website, it was a see-sawing game from start to finish.
there are no box scores.

It was difficult to determine in the grainy stream I had, but I would hazzard a guess that it was not even close to Russia's A team.

Russia's A team would comfortably beat our A team and as this is our B or C grade team I'd assume this Russian team isn't even remotely close to their best team.
Wortho 25, Crawford 17, Schenscher 14, Wagstaff 14
The last time Australia's A team played Russia's A team we beat them by 15 points, what are you talking about anon 269?

- Wortho a big game stats wise but average shooting.
- Crawford 5/8 on threes, that will have him another step closer to making the A team.
- Dellavedova awful stats, 0/7, 2 points and 2 assists in 25 minutes
- Gibson, 9 points, 4/5, 5 steals, 4 assists in 27 minutes
- Tomlinson, 0/6 in 30 minutes, 4 steals
- Wagstaff 14 points, 4/5 in 21 minutes
- Schenscher 14 points, 6/7, 17 minutes.
Obviously some big issues with the defence, but Russia are playing a team that is starting their tournament next week whereas this is the Aussies first game together.
Russia's best player was Kashirov, who was one of the best players for Walter Tigers in the German first division, and they also had Gubanov who is a starter for Dynamo Moscow, and Golovin who has just signed with Unics Kazan, one of the power clubs of Russia.
So if you consider we had Tomlinson, Dellavedova, Greenwood who are college players, Nevill, Wagstaff and Weigh who are medium range NBL guys, and four very good but not superstar NBL players, it was probably a fairly even match-up once you consider how much more developed their team is in their preparation.
Anon 273,
At last year's World Championships we made it to the Round of 16 and lost to Slovenia by 29 points, Russia made it to the QF's and lost to the USA by 10 points and then went on to beat Slovenia in the 7th place playoff game.

Shame on you Mr. Brown your family connection guys did not perform well in third class tournament. I hope someone will take action and get rid of you.

If the talent is so good here why can't they beat a third string Russian side. Even the b grade boomers that played a d grade Argentina struggled here. When we have our full side we can mix it with the best in the world. How are politics involved with this team?
