We almost lost the game from a near unbeatable position. Our fielding and wicket keeping was atrocious, some of the worst you will truly ever see.
Henriques bowling absolute puff as usual, which selector is this guy rooting? Short balls at 110 KPH aren't really going to trouble anyone at FC level, especially at NSO. To think the NSW rejects like Dan Christian or Ed Cowan (there'd be more too) could be playing for us instead of this mythological creature.
Our captaincy was a joke, allowing SA back into it not protecting any singles around the ground at times, even when the run rate required was only just above or around 6 for long periods with wickets in hand. It was a miracle we pulled this one out in the end, Brett Lee was exceptional closing both sessions for us.
I think the current set up stinks in NSW cricket. We consistently have the most talented cricketers in the country to choose from, as well as great depth in quality, yet so regularly struggle to compete in the domestic competitions.
Apart from that a good, entertaining game for the neutrals I suppose.
On the positive side Nic Maddinson played beyond his years and looks like he could be a great player. Well done Usman Kuwaja, you really are a class act!!!
