[aussies1st]

Ah FFS we could have picked 4 specialist bowlers for once but instead we went for a batter heavy side.

Slow going for Hughes, Jaques carrying on where he left off last match.

 

[Red Bear]

0/45 off 12.1

Hughes cant seem to hit it off the square at the moment, playing like a man with no confidence.

 

[Twizzle]

he's looked pretty scratchy for a while

 

[aussies1st]

All it takes is one knock as Jaques is showing.

 

[yappy]

It'll be good for him to have to work through a tough patch. Jaques is keeping the scoring going so no need for panic.

 

[Red Bear]

0/84 off 18.2, run rate steadily increasing. Jaques seams to be going pertty well

 

[yappy]

bugger

Smith promoted?

 

[hineyrulz]

Letting Old man MacGain and Hodge get away with murder, Kat should have come in against the Spinners.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Not looking good on the radar with thunderstorms on the way in the next hour or so. Hopefully they just move a little more north and miss the MCG yet get all the cricket grounds here in the northern suburbs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Terrible from Hughes, using up that many balls and then throwing his wicket away FFS.

 

[aussies1st]

First time we give Smith a bit more time and hes out Good ploy though and I hope they aren't put off by this minor blimp.

 

[aussies1st]

Henriques failing again

 

[rabbit0h8]

Henriques hasn't done anything half-decent since the Champions league and if he keeps it up he could be dropped before long. Hughes is having a tough season as well especially today.

 

[aussies1st]

Hopefully can get 230 from here.

 

[Twizzle]

not enough runs from the Blues

the only thing in our favour is that Brax and Hazlewood are back in the team

early wickets needed for us to have any chance

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Looking at the radar it seems the first bunch of storms passed to the north of the city... but another bank of ugly looking clouds are on the way.

 

[Twizzle]

the D/L system can bite you one the arse if you loose early wickets

here's hoping anyway

 

[Twizzle]

shot Deano

love these classic games

 

[eddiesmith]

Caught the edge of a brief shower so play has stopped, hopefully should be back on shortly
