They have to mate she is having some issues. At least I'll only have to buy a present every 4 years

Weather not looking good for the cricket today

[stampy]

looking at the radar, there wont be any play till late in the day if at all

If it rains for a couple of days we are half a chance of not losing outright!

[gossipgirl]

I think it would need to rain for at least 3 days

[whufc]

Yep good first day for the backs they broke even.

[Brodlach]

Redbacks won the toss and elected to bat

After 9 over 0/34

Delaney 12th man

[mighty_tiger_79]

still in One Day mode at least we know that works

[Brodlach]

Batting order is a little different

Stray
Klinger
Head
Cooper
Smith
Doropolous
Davey
Mennie
Lyon

George

Great move with Stray opening and Head at 3 should've done this 2 games ago.

I was going to say when we knew our season was gone but that would've been in november

[Brodlach]

Outfield is very slow

[Brodlach]

Klinger out

1/53

Future of SA cricket batting, Head and Stray

[Brodlach]

The "Live" webcast from Adelaide Oval is 22 minutes behind the play

Sums up the SACA well really.

Always behind the times

[Brodlach]

1/76 off 22

[whufc]

1/76 off 22

Great start!

Im not sold on Stray and wouldnt put him into the 'future batsmen for years to come' category just yet.

BUT

Travis Head on the other hand is a gun and no matter what happens between and now and next summer he needs to be batting at 3 for SA come the first shield game next season.

If you have a gun and he is very young persist with him, he will come real good, take a look at NSW they have to do this because of how many players go away on International duty and they keep producing the goods.

If we are going to finish bottom next year i would rather it be with a bunch of young kids who have the potential to be shield players for the next 5-10 years once they mature and gain experience at state level.

[whufc]

Head GONE

2/87

Oh NO another wicket

Cooper out for a duck 2 balls later

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SA 3/87

1/76 off 22

Watching Trav bat today he didnt look like a nervous 18 year old out there (like he did v Vic).... he looked like he was in control of his game and upto the level! One for the future for sure.... Here's hoping Diesel comes out and does the same thing!
