a few things. 

1. mathematica syntax. 

curly brackets are used for lists. parenthesis is used
for groupings. 

and ' needs tocome before the independent variable in
derivative definition. as a'[t] not a[t]' 

which these fixed, your equation will output a
interpolatign functions but it doesn't seem much.

it's probably due to the iniaitla conditions and
parameter choices.  

nlde = {a'[t] == a[t] (3 - 2 b[t] - a[t]), b'[t] ==
b[t] (2 - a[t] - b[t])}

nldeics = Join[nlde, {a[0] == 0, b[0] == 1}]

sol = NDSolve[ nldeics, {a[t], b[t]}, {t, 0, 1}]

ParametricPlot[Evaluate[{a[t], b[t]} /. sol], {t, 0,
1}];

good luck
