SA Footy

Really looking forward to going to the cricket tomorrow with what should be a large group of boys from our cricket club. So keen.

Saturday is designated drinking day mate. Forgive me now for I shall sin.....then jump on SAFooty for an alcohol fuelled tirade

I'm on it the first 3 days. So let the good times roll.

No drunk posting for me.

Where will you lads be? I'm up for it* tomorrow.

Mr Boon I'd be happy to meet you anywhere for a beer or 23 tomorrow mate i generally congregate around the Pimms tent somewhere depending on my company.

But as I said mate happy to meet anywhere.

I'm just hoping to rub shoulders with the A list likes of the great man Mr Riddle that would make my day.

@theriddler

I'm cattle class mate, no members enclosure for me. ( Unless you have a pass and I need to wear a collar )

Dear profits of gloom,

40,000, yes that's 40,000 tickets sold to day 1 of the test. This does not include members obviously. I spent the day at AO and the buzz around the place is unbelievable. The set up is sensational, the surface looks a treat and their is genuine feel of excitement around the place. It just feels different akin to the early excitement and anticipation of the AO AFL games.

Expect 50K. By day 2 both of the previous tests will have their attendances smashed. The atmosphere at this day night test is going to be phenomenal. There may be some teething problems but they changed the red ball 14 times in the last test so bitching about the pink ball seems a little bit of a waste of time for mine. It will be far from perfect, there will be unforeseen issues but just like the advent of WSC the people will vote with their feet.

Strap yourself in, fill up your glass with Pimms, bring your tinted perve glasses, fill your wallet with pineapples and enjoy the ride. I certainly will be

Oh your one of 'Them' lol

I will venture out to the Riff Raff on the hill at some stage. After all it's where I truly belong they just don't serve full strength beer or I'd be there all day.

Really looking forward to this one. Will be a great atmosphere as the sun is going down and the lights take over

It will bring back memories of the first day nighter here v the Kiwis all those years ago

Was at that game as well

How did the selectors not pick Ferg

Guptill is the first victim of the pink ball in test matches.

The ball would want to do a fair bit otherwise i cant see either sides bowling attacking being good enough to get close to 20 wickets on this deck.

Already 35k through the gate, once people finish work reckon it could swell by another 10k

CAnt see them getting Williamson out here, safer than the crown jewels
