Blues vs. Backs

[Rik E Boy]

Just about to start. SA bowling first on what looks like a bowler friendly wicket - greenish with plenty of moisture. The curator put some water into it becauase it has been dry in Sydney but was caught out by overnight rain.

With no Magill and the Backs boasting an awesome attack, I'd expect the Redbacks to win this one so Jaques the key early doors and also Haddin obviously a key wicket. Go the Blues!!

Steady start by the Blues. At drinks (13.5) NSW 1/56, Simmons the man out caugh Manou bowled Dizzy for 26. Jaques looking rusty (dropped by Cosgrove earlier) and young Christian has nearly run himself out first ball!

regards,

REB

Small ground REB, I think NSW need 275 to be competitive.
4/151 AFTER 32 OVERS
252 would be a likely score at this stage.
SA I think will be the o/d champs this year.

watching the game on fox, SA fell away badly

on Cosgrove, if this kid wants to play in the world cup he needs to improve his fielding in quick time

S/D if S.A. fell away badly how about a updated score

[sydney-dog]

sorry guys

thought the game would be live in to SA

NSW 5/291 after 50 overs

rain has delayed start of the 2nd innings

[magpie in the 80's]

unfortunately i live in canberra S/D and its not on here

[sydney-dog]

score update

revised total 267 of 43 overs

Elliott and Cosgrove opening the innings

SA 0/39 AFTER 6 OVERS

[sydney-dog]

SA 0 / 62 AFTER 10

Elliott looking good 29no
Cosgrove 28no

suprise NSW have stuck with opening bowlers, you would of thought given the start they would of made a change by now

No McGill, NSW may struggle to contain SA on a small oval

[sydney-dog]

Hauritz, first ball for NSW, hits the wood work Cosgroves out for 31, SA 1/66

Cossie made the mistake of playing for the spin !!!
Slow outfield makes it harder.
SA 1/84OF 14.5 OVERS.
Elliot just hit a six of Thornley.
NSW has a very average attack, we can still win.

TA beat QLD by 7 wickets in the Pura Cup game at the Gabba.

[sydney-dog]

After a frustrating season, Elliott looking the goods

[sydney-dog]

Bluey has continued with last seasons form, looking very very scratchy and needs to start playing some shots

[Rooster_cracker]

SA 1/95 looking good. but theirs more rain about.

[sydney-dog]

1/99 after 18

elliott 53no

SA needs to keep ahead of the target rate just in case more rain or bad light stops play

Bluey needs to provide more support

[sydney-dog]

Bluey out for a very ugly 26 of 43

SA 2 / 124 of 23.5

[Maddogmike]

What an idiot - the wicket caused SA to need to be 131 after that over. If they go off now SA behind the rate! Class act Blewett.

[sydney-dog]

not to mention he got caught off a waist height full toss that should of been hit out of the ground

[sydney-dog]

with 9 runs now required per over and Hauritz bowling I would of thought Boof or Manou would of come in and took control off the game

[sydney-dog]

SA need couple big overs

127 required off 90 balls

8 wickets in hand
