I spoke to another groundsman and he said what did you expect. ??

So I guess that makes your point invalid

Once again a wagging tail has cost us. When we had them 6/200 any decent team would of restricted them to 300 maximum yet they manage to score 434. I hope we bat all day tomorrow and try and score 1000.

Or perhaps we could belt a hundred in the first hour and try and win outright. :roll:

A couple of early wickets they may get nervous. Either way should be a good day to head to AO 8)

Bloody oath. I'll probably head down there for an hour or two this morning.

How much does car parking cost?

If its not free being a Saturday you should be able to get a nearby park for free.

Haven't watched a ton of Cleary and wouldn't mind having a good look. Also keen to see Botha chuck a couple down.

If we have a special day we will be top of the table for the first time in a long long time.

Unless someone has attacked the pitch with a shovel overnight I cant see anything but a draw happening today. WA are poor but still cant see them crashing on this deck

Pretty sure we were top up until the second to last round last year.

Really. I stand corrected. Sorry I'm just caught in the Redback fever and chomping at the bit to head to the oval today.

overheard a convo between two of the ground staff, one was saying that being the first pitch in the new drop in wicket they had to roll it to within an inch if it's life and didn't take any grass off it so to use his words "the game could last two weeks and the prick still wouldn't break up. The rest of the pitches won't be like this."

I'd listen to what someone involved in the making of the pitch has to say when they don't think a member of the public can hear over anything you ever have to say

The last 5 overs have netted 1/1 so it's not over yet. I think we would need to pick up 4 or 5 this session if we are gonna pull one from the clouds
