So 80 to Katich and another 49* on the second dig....Dutchy?

[Media Park]

I have finally gotten "over" with Katich, and now really enjoy watching him bat.

FWIW, I think that his score will be close to the highest in this match, and he could just about be the difference...

Trivia question (don't know the answer):

When is the last time 3 current Tasmanian players played in the same Australian test side?

Or is this even the first time? Hilfy debuted after Krejza's last game.

[stampy]

shame we lost those 2 late wickets, havent seen any of the match so far, is the wicket still doing plenty?

[Media Park]

boon/punter... and ???

[Dogwatcher]

Boon/ Campbell

Boon/Roger Woolley?

Couldn't be too many more...

[The Cadet]

Shaun Young and Ponting on 97 Ashes. Think this Test must be first time it has happened.

Boon/Roger Woolley?

Couldn't be too many more...

Are we counting Colin Miller As a Tasmanian ??

It's more the swing rather than movement off the pitch that is doing the damage although when there has been 5 - 6 dismissels for the match by batsmen NOT playing a shot i think i'd even be a chance of picking up a few poles bowling my straight breaks.

Max Walker?

[Pottsy]

Four Tigers...Shane Watson? Had a year or two with Tassie didn't he...

[Hondo]

I meant current members of the Tasmanian squad playing in a test together

I can't think of any other occasion. It has to be from 1977ish onwards obviously.

On Millier, it depends where he was playing at between 1998 and 2001 - think he was back at Victoria by then?

[Media Park]

I read an article earlier. This is indeed the first time that three Tasmanian's have played in a Test together.
