Blues v Tigers - Shield

[yappy]

Copeland and Cummins have knocked over Cosgrove and Faulkner. Butterworth could still give us some problems but 6/278 is much better.

Still we already need well over 400 to make a game of it.

 

[Twizzle]

we can do that if the pitch if reasonable

 

[yappy]

Agreed.

Copeland has kept Butterworth from doing any more damage. 7/296 atm. X and keeper in.

 

[Red Bear]

7/300 at lunch, Copeland has 3/101 having bowled 35 of 91 overs. Coyte has two and Cummins one, with there being a run out also.

Need to knock the tail over quickly then bat til sunday

 

[aussies1st]

Tailenders are proving to be very annoying.

 

[yappy]

all out 353.

Almost 280 behind. We'll need 500+. Can't see it.

 

[yappy]

5/119

We won't make them bat again.

 

[yappy]

6/130 at stumps

WTF Happened??

 

[aussies1st]

Geez our star studded batsmen have been totally outplayed by Kruger.

 

[hineyrulz]

And QLD let Kruger go :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

What a woeful performance by us, and a very good one by Tassie. Hopefully we have a few players back for the return match down there in a couple of weeks, Katich, Khawaja, Cameron and Clark would be a nice start

 

[yappy]

Got pumped by an innings and 70.

Certainly will be calling for the Cavalry. ABC radio quoted Mott as saying Uzi and Kat should be right for WA. Clarke though isn't much chance. Henriques has also done something and will need an op. No word on Cameron or Warner, but you'd expect Warner to be ok.

With Kat, Uzi and Warner back our batting should be rock solid, we really need another quick though.

Tassie have pretty much bagged the final for Bellerive. They only need 2 points against SA to lock it in. Hopefully the early Winter they are currently facing pisses off. I just don't think we were able to handle the conditions.

 

[aussies1st]

Interesting enough no Warner leads to one of our worst batting performances. Don't know if he would have made a difference but can't be any worse than some of the fellas in the side already.

In breaking news just in.

The BCCI have demanded a full investigation into the blues performance and subsequently have suspended them from the champions league trophy tournament. An Indian IPL side will take their place...

 

[Panther_Daz]

Need Clark, Katich and Khawaja back ASAP.

Khawaja played for Randy Petes today.

Only good news out of today is that NSW flew home this afternoon and Pat Cummins will be available for Penrith Under 21's Semi Final tomorrow.
