The Pura Cup 2007/2008 thread

[Timbo]

We had Warne and McGrath then.

 

[lockyno1]

Our batting is fine without him. Tell you what, who would you drop..and don't say he is a opener as he is not one and Jaques/Rogers are better options there!

 

[wittyfan]

Poor figures for Mitchell Johnson today.

 

[lockyno1]

I agree, but everyone had poor figures in that game..no worse than Lee

 

[wittyfan]

Lee's coming back in the second innings though 0/5 with off 6 overs.

 

[lockyno1]

fantastic..problem is the first column!

 

[Red Bear]

306, awesome performance

 

[wildmooka]

Yeah, brilliant display by the Kat.

Averaged 70 odd in Pura Cup last year. Averaged near 80 in County. Now averaging 178 in Pura Cup this year. Highest score at the SCG in 77 years.

Yes, the wicket is obviously good, but it took 3 quality players in Katich, Hayden and Haddin to take advantage of it.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Vics got spanked by WA by 288 runs

Hogg MOTM 3/21 & 5/62 as well as a 58* (42balls)

I think he may have just won himself a spot in the 1st test.

SA 6/116 vs TAS
Geeves 5/36

CA XI 7/406 vs SL 6/368dec
Plant 122*
Mash 95
Murali 3/120 (42 overs)

micky lewis has come in and hit a 6 and 4 off Murali

Geez you can't help feel a little concerned in regards to Lee and Johnson's bowling at the moment. Even if they are bowling on a road, it hasn't stopped Clark from getting in amongst it.

Different types of bowlers though. Clark is more a seam bowler than Lee/Johnson are. Macgill better get some wickets!

 

[Spike]

It's not a spinner's wicket as far as the SCG goes. The wicket is still pretty much the same as it was on day 1

 

[lockyno1]

Yep, which is why I wouldn't read much into any of the bowlers stats. They are all getting smashed beside Clark!

 

[hineyrulz]

Clark showing again that he's the best quick bowler in the country ATM.

 

[hineyrulz]

Looks like QLD will get out of this with a draw, the pitch won the day. Clark has 4 for 62, Lee 0 for 75 and Macgill 1 for 62 of just 12 overs.

In 4 day/5 day cricket, yes. Not in ODI's though!

Well Duh!!

 

[lockyno1]

I just wanted to make sure you were off the piss!

I don't drink :sarcasm:

And I am straight..
