63*[84]
could it happen today of all days
can that genie provide my first wish

Oh dear

Over 48.2: MacDonald to Ferguson, no run, OUT, Ferguson is beaten on off stump and edges to first slip where Anderson takes a good catch. Ferguson out for 65, Klinger not out 64, South Australia 4 for 149, MacDonald 3 for 20

FRUSTRATION
65 [86] @#%^&*((*&^%$#$%^&*&^%$#$%^&*&^%@!#$%^&*

65[146]
I dont have to identify the 2 batsman the nicknames says it all

2/3rds of another 100
Oh if I could just take him fishing
Talent to burn but burned another innings

5/159

[rod_rooster]

When will one of our batsmen go on with it

FFS 65 to both Klinger and Ferguson. Manou batting at 6 is also a worry. We really only have Harris, Klinger, Younis and Ferguson who can claim to be batsmen. Plant is a dud and Manou whilst handy with the bat should never be in the top 6 of any first class cricket side.

Meanwhile Cossie has got a start. Hope he goes on with is. He's 32 now with 28 of those runs coming in boundaries. That sort of batting won't help him shed the kilos but he'll take the runs i'm sure

[rod_rooster]

Tea - SA 5/167

Manou 8*
O'Brien 5*

Klinger 65
Ferguson 65
Harris 12
Younis 4
Plant 3

[NFC]

Manou at 6, goodness me!

FERGUSON! Young man you've got talent GO ON WITH IT!!!

[rod_rooster]

Meanwhile SA 2nd XI 3/203

JD Smith 101*

Cossie lbw:Rimmington 47 (9 fours and a 6, not much running done)

[RoosterMarty]

Bring in J Smith and M Cosgrove.

[luvcricket]

Foshizzle. Surely Smith can't be too far off getting a gig!!

[rod_rooster]

Bring in J Smith and M Cosgrove.

I'd be fitting Borgas in before Smith. Get rid of plant and move Klinger into the openers spot. My team would be:

Harris
Klinger
Younis
Cosgrove
Ferguson
Borgas
Manou
O'Brien
Cleary
Tait
Wise

When Younis goes Smith to come in to open and push Klinger back to 3.

[RoosterMarty]

Haha very spur of the moment comment by me.

Definitely Borgas should be in.

Plant has had his chance unless he gets a second innings ton he has to go.

[rod_rooster]

SA 6/176

Manou lbw:Geeves 13

O'Brien 9*
Cleary0*

Likely to be bowled out for under 200 now.

[NFC]

Manou is the worst batsman in cricket history.

[locky801]

Once again batsman getting starts and not going on with it, enough is enough surely

[RoosterMarty]

We make every pitch look like Mumbai.

[locky801]

Manou is the worst batsman in cricket history.

Not quite

[rod_rooster]

Once again batsman getting starts and not going on with it, enough is enough surely

We are also carrying an opener who can't even manage a start.

[Pumba]

the real worrying thing is tait batting at 9 - he is a dead set 11! wise and george must be horrible

[RoosterMarty]

I can only laugh.

Tait at 9, Manou at 6! That is a terrible batting lineup.

Manou can bat sometimes but there is no way he is a number 6.

[rod_rooster]

SA 7/196

O'Brien 24*
Tait 3*

Last man out:
Cleary c:Marsh b:Butterworth 1

Looks like we'll get to 200 but not much past it.

[locky801]

TAIT on fire has moved to 21*

[Tassie Blues]

Manou is the worst batsman in cricket history.

Not quite

I always thought Dilip Doshie from India was the worst (my childhood nickname as my batting was just as good as his) but i googled him and has a test av of 4.6 highest score of 20 and ODI av of 3
