MAL

you mean if MANOU bats like you did he will score runs - i forgot you batted like a spastic too!!!!

[mal]

You f......g beauty JAQUES out last ball of the day.
JAQUES c Bailey bowled Taity 48
NREBSW 2/96
TAIT 1/39
DIZZY 1/25

Come on lads lets skittle them for 200 tomorrow and WIN outright.

PS how does the talented star allrounder Mark Cleary feel not
getting a game as a BATSMAN

MT79 The only similarity I have with MANOU is the first 2 letters in his name.
[and hes a better cricketer than me]

Correct Weight Mal...was just thinking about him today...saw him score his maiden ton late last year and played well...surely a good alrounder is what we need to provide depth

and hes making runs in grade cricket too. and the new catch cry of the selection panel is "We will reward good performances in grade cricket" well its time to drop the underperformers and promote the performers

TAIT
GILLESPIE
ROFE
CULLEN
BAILEY
CLEARY

All good bowlers but how do we fit them in.
And if Ryan Harris gets fitter......

I am confident the bowlers will come good
The batsmen

Gotta play CLEARY in the o/d games at least

Greg Blewett would be a handy player if he regains form.

[stampy]

another disastrous day wtf is going on? the top order is shite at the mo, i see some critiscism of the keeper,, i have aloways thought that his batting is questionable but i saw him carve up the tasmanians in jan in tandem with boof in a pura cup match, who are the alternatives? as for flipper i was calling for his head when we were struggling in 04/05 but the hierachy stuck with him - i would love to be proved wrong but my opinion is he was undisciplined as a player so why would he be any different as a coach? back to this game, still 3 days to go jacques is gone so hopefully we can run thru them in the morning. c"mon boys!

[ORDoubleBlues]

Certainly can't believe that Cleary is not getting a game

[Adelaide Hawk]

as for flipper i was calling for his head when we were struggling in 04/05 but the hierachy stuck with him - i would love to be proved wrong but my opinion is he was undisciplined as a player so why would he be any different as a coach?

In what way was he undisciplined as a player?

[mal]

NSREBW 2/99 3 runs in nearly half an hour zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

After all the talk about LUCK of winning tosses how stupid is
the QLD captain today.

First game TA bundled out in the
o/d game in Brisbane,
QLD bat 2nd and Maher/Hayden killed Tassie and QLD
get the bonus point.
This morning in a MORNING [early start] QLD win the toss at Bellreve and bat.[the opposite]
QLD 3/33 after 10 overs.

Obviously some QLD people dont read this site.

Hilfenhaus impresses again , got Hayden out AGAIN.

NSW 5/185 about lunch time.
Tait 3 wickets
still a hope.
Im now going down to the oval, I will try and find Wayne Phillips
and have a chat to him about how to run our team

QLD now 3/130 after 32 overs, me and my big mouth !!!

[noone]

Total (6 wickets; 68.2 overs) 217

[MightyEagles]

NSW all out 282 I think?
SA 2/30 something.

[magpie in the 80's]

REDBACKS; 154

NSW;288

REDBACKS 2/61 DIETZ 2 ELLIOTT 6 BORGAS 11 N.O. COSGROVE 36 N.O.

CLARKE 2/12

[magpie in the 80's]

REDBACKS; 154

NSW;288

REDBACKS 2/61 DIETZ 2 ELLIOTT 6 BORGAS 11 N.O. COSGROVE 36 N.O.

CLARKE 2/12

STUMPS DAY 2

REDBACKS 2/103 BORGAS 36 N.O. COSGROVE 53 N.O.

[mal]

SA 2/103 still 30 off the lead.
How does the worst batting line up in Australia get to 288[only worst
until the national players are back]
Casson at number 7 followed by CLARK/NICHOLSON/BOLLINGER/MACGILL
makes it a very long tail.
TAIT took 4 wkts, he's back.
Very interesting field setting for TAIT to OBREIN today, with 2 behind square
and 2 just in front of square leg, TAIT bowled a succession of short pitched
deliveries at OBREIN
It was almost reminicsent of LARWOOD at the same oval about 70 years ago.
NSW made 288 a lead of 134.
BAYMAN said at the start of the SA 2nd innings" If we are only 2 down at stumps
we have a chance Mal."
I advocated a more attacking approach in our 2nd dig, unfortunately I couldnt
find Flipper today to advise him.
DIETZ + ELLIOTT took a cockroach approach and both failed at 2/12
They both need to bat down the order in future.
DIETZ as a keeper + number 7 yes...as an opening batsman no...
He failed as an opener most of last year, nothing has changed.
ELLIOTT needs runs soon especially with BLEWETT getting runs at district level.

Child COSGROVE + Baby BORGAS defended stoutly to about 2/20 odd and then
the whole complexion of the game changed when COSGROVE exquisitely squarecut THORNLEY to the point fence, the kids then played positively and we reached a commendable
2/103 at stumps.
Both were severe on MACGILL.
COSGROVE a half century at stumps ignited the partnership.
BORGAS was circumspect early and then accelerated to be 30 odd at the close.
BORGAS looks an opener[take note flipper] he is a stellar batsmen who defends stoutly
and then every so often plays a blazing stroke to a loose ball.

Can we win, yes a lead of 200 may well be beyond NSW if JAQUES is out early,exposing
a fragile middle order and a very very long tail.

NSREBW at this stage, but we can still win.

Ahh yes TAS beat QLD today, the side batting 2nd in the morning/day O/D games wins AGAIN.

[Dutchy]

Im guessing you went down there today Mal? I reckon we are a chance....we could get 250 in front and give them a day to chase...im on leave so might head down there Monday with the little fella for a look if the game is set up for a result

If Stewie Clark bowls like he did today there will be no Monday DUTCHY.
The forgotten 3rd fast bowler in the first test

Yeah if we get 250 up I would be very confident.

Just finished watching the TA V QL game on tape.
Travis Birt can bat wow, his leg side shots are awesome.
He reminds me of the way Rodney Marsh used to bat.

[mighty_tiger_79]

the boys have a chance to get something out of this game.

the lads at bat now need to build on what they have.

set NSW about 250 - 300 on the last day.

this your chance lads to try and shove it up your critics

[Thiele]

4-183 Cosgrove out for 94
