The Pura Cup 2007/2008 thread

[Dutchy]

Bad light stopped play at 4-76

good to see Stuey Macgill in the wickets.


Pity about the poor batting to end the day. Though we should still win this. Thornley , Haddin , Lambert , Casson and Nicholson should get us a decent lead.

 

[Twizzle]

geez, it could be over by tomorrow night

been a while since Katich failed

 

[hineyrulz]

It sounds like a Bunsen Burner.

 

[Panther_Daz]

If Cullen is getting wickets something must be up with this pitch.

 

[Twizzle]

there is if Katich got a duck

cmon blues i have a final bet on this next week for blues to win pura cup and being at home would be a big advantage with Binga, Pup, Sarfraz and Andy G returning to the line up

 

[herbert henry1908]

amazing they got play started on time this morning.

nsw now steady at 4/104.

 

[griffo346]

should be looking at a lead of 200+ by stumps you would think possibly 1 hr before stumps send in SA

Haddin or thornley will need to get a big hundred for that to happen.


any lead of over 100 and the Saca's are gone.

 

[Big Mick]

Haddin on 89* and Thornley at 54* but THornley again going slowly.

 

[griffo346]

lead of 85 @ lunch prob revise my target i reckon 150+ by tea if Thornley can move his ass

 

[griffo346]

NSW lose there 5th wicket recently Haddin - caught Harris bowled Cullen 113 off 206

NSW 5/272 lead of 144 i reckon if they get close to 200 led they will declare and send in SA

 

[griffo346]

Lambert out for 31

SA 128
Run Rate Required: 0.0
NSW 6/302 (90.2 overs)
Current Match Status: Day 2 - In Progress
Speedblitz Blues lead by 174 runs

Thornley on 86

 

[lockyno1]

NSW will bat all the way through. In the end it will be so hard batting last on this pitch. Get 250-300 ahead and then force SA to make over 250-300 on a horrid pitch

 

[griffo346]

Thats Tea and Thornley is 99* good knock all be it slow and that also brings up the 200 lead for the blues if i was Kat i would declare now and send in the redbacks they wont get that

Victoria also take first innings points in there match they are currently 6/230

most noticeable scores D.Hussey 92 and Cam White 73

 

[lockyno1]

Katich will want to make sure and will push on to 300 at least hopefully

 

[herbert henry1908]

ouch , from 4/66 to 6/356 , thats gotta hurt!


Man South Australia are going to be bad over the next few years.

SA is a really sad story. I mean, they have guys like Ferguson, Cosgrove, Christian - 3 highly talented young batsman, along with the solid Delmont. Two solid & experienced openers in Daniel Harris & Shane Deitz. A competent wicketkeeper in Graham Manou. Two talented spinners in Bailey & Cullen. A lower order biffer & part-time spinner in Adcock. A classic line & length man in Rofe, a speedster in Tait, & a reverse swing bowler in Ryan Harris. That is a very useful team IMO, just a shame they can't put it together consistently.

Useful players without being outstanding is SA's problem.
