Not much cricket is played here, its the home of the Gold Cost Suns so not sure if this is a drop in or not. Used to be Carara Oval now called Metricon Stadium.


Profile
Carrara became the first ground outside Brisbane to host a first-class game when it staged the match between the state and an England XI in 1990-91 (the match famous for David Gower and John Morris's Tiger Moth fly-by).

Located three miles from the Pacific Ocean, it a restful environment with an outfield the same size as the MCG with floodlight as powerful as on any other cricket ground. But there was no escaping that it was primarily a football venue, and that, allied to poor attendance for the England match and two other one-dayer played there, meant that the experiment to try to use it for cricket was dropped in 1992.

Chucking it down.

Shame, was excited that another international venue was getting added to the rotation.

Shane Warne "form is form, doesnt matter what form of the game"

[TIGER14]

The wort part of this rain delay is having to put up with Shane Warne's self indulgent bullshit.
Flicked it over to Sky Racing to watch the greyhounds.

He’s on his f**king bike about Tuggah again.

f**k me he’s pathetic.

‘At the end of the day, people always say we wish you got captain of Australia’.

f**king who, Shane? Name them. Oh, you can’t because they’re f**king fictional.

Says a lot about both men that Warne takes every opportunity he can get to slate Waugh, yet Waugh has never bothered to speak publicly about Warne.

This interview is pathetic. Talk about revisionist history.

The merkin couldn’t lie straight in bed.

 

[TIGER14]

Surely the 20min change of innings break can be reduced to allow more overs.

 

[TheParraboy]

SA batting first

10 overs per side

 

[Bazal]

Not Behrendorffs finest collection of six deliveries

 

[_snafu_]

We're not going to win this.

 

[roofromoz]

Early days, but Warney may take up Chappelli's mantle as Fox Cricket's resident grumpy ex-player, cloud yelling curmudgeon.

Helluva big shoes to fill.

 

[TheParraboy]

We will be chasin 120+

Garbage bowling.
