Congrats Kez, that one meant a lot and not just to him.

Any members there today that can advise on how quick the undercover seats filled up today?

AU 4/98
AU 8/326
Excellent recovery

THE JOFF 3/29[16] dont poke the bear
REST.........5/284
EXTRAS ......13

Lucky the Joff didnt get enough support today
Had Alexander Carey dropped as well after his 3rd wicket

I watched all day today on Foxtel
Did the commentators on Channell 7 who hadago at him last test , compliment the Joff on his bowling today ?

Looking forward to the pommie batting, in particular the lower order.

Predicting a run out…. Hardly the first time there’s been confusion between a Tongue and a c.Arse..
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Haven’t had 2 days of extreme heat to bake the pitch though. By tomorrow arvo that pitch will start doing some funny things imo.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

But surely capacity is capacity and they can’t just make extra seats appear from thin air.
The ones out the back still have to a seat don’t they?

Reliability
Being a top bloke
Smacking the poms

In a time that our bowlers have maintained our dominance, he has been our best performing batter, to bat above a recognised batter speaks volumes. I struggle to think there could be a more valuable keeper than Gilchrist.
Best keeper: Marsh
Best batter/keeper: Gilchrist
Best keeper/batter: Carey

SACA oversubscribe memberships because they know there will be a cohort that spend their time out back. It’s just easy $$$ for them, and why not when there’s plenty of takers to pay overs for what membership provides.
