Do you know what venue warne/st kilda are playing this week

[eddiesmith]

Its in the other thread, but they are playing at Windy Hill

there is ur answer

[Marklar_33]

Ponting to play his first game at Mowbray for ages! Lucky for me, the ground is just a cricket balls throw away from my house, and free entry, how could I go wrong!

The pitch looks a beauty (for Invermay Park!) and hoping for some top Twenty20 action, the first game of its kind in Launceston

The most shocking thing is Ponting is actually going to play a cricket game for a Tasmanian side

I thought he had turned his back on the state?

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah, in terms of living there he has.

He know lives in Caringbah, a suburb of Sydney.

[eddiesmith]

Yeah, in terms of living there he has.

He knows lives in Caringbah, a suburb of Sydney.
He also refused to play for Tassie when he had a chance last year in the last game for the season with their finals hopes on the line

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah, I remember that.

Who would you say is the most committed Australian player in terms of making himself available for state cricket, Mr Smith ?

Personally, I would say Justin Langer.

[eddiesmith]

Shane Keith Warne

Only thing that stops him is John Buchanan :mad:

[ben.carbonaro]

I would of thought Justin Langer would have been your choice as well.

So basically, Buchanan has double standards then as he allows Langer to play for Western Australia yet doesn't allow Warne to play for Victoria ?

He should be playing in the Victorian side against the World XI, is he not playing because JB said no ?

[eddiesmith]

I dont know about the World XI, he probably needs a break

But on more than a couple of occassions Warney has been rested and most others allowed to play

He also had to land in Perth last year a week before the Test match and wasnt allowed to play a one dayer for the Vics and fly to Perth later that night or first thing the next morning

JB excuse is usually he wants the bowlers to rest although I am pretty sure I remember one week a couple of years back Warney was the only player rested

[ViperV10]

Great concept I reckon. Good to see the players turning up to actually support the day.

All of the matchups are on cricket.com.au in the media release section http://www.cricket.com.au/default.aspx?s=mediareleasedisplay&id=35322

There are also State Ambassadors, who are going to be presenting plaques to their old schools and clubs as part of it...great to see!

[pinkus maximus]

the 3 best wicketkeepers in the state Gilchrist,Campbell and Ronchi are playing opposite my house tommorow...might watch them from the lounge room :D

[chunkylover]

bad luck pinkus, rained off champ. at least our game at kingsway is.

yeah same :mad:

[eddiesmith]

What scores did people hear?

Hayden continued his wonderful form with a sensational 4

Warney took 3/42

[tasyazdani]

Lee 4 wickets, not much with the bat
UTS-Balmain bowled out for 78, in reply Mosman 190, then UTS-Balmain got sent in again, not sure biut the second innings score

[Unwritten_Law]

I went out to see Punter play today.

Tassie batted first and were 4 for 10 (Kremerskothen got 3 of them including a ripper c&b) before Cox steadied the innings and Tubb came out and smashed a few quick runs to get them to 8-125 off their 20. The game was played on the practice oval behind York Park and I don't think they had mowed the grass in 2 months! Anything along the ground stopped dead.

Mowbray Invitational were 5-81 off 11 when I left, Punter and Bailey put on most of the runs 20-30 each before getting out.

Hard to tell when half the tassie side didn't wear names, and the loud speaker was a shocker, but I don't think Bevan, Di Venuto, Wright and obviously the injured Marsh played! Griffith, Kremerskothen, Bailey, Doherty and Anderson played for Punter's team so it was basically the north with a few mowbray players v. south with a few interstate ring ins.

[eddiesmith]

The biggest and most shocking news to come out of the game in Tassie is that Ricky committed himself to Tasmanias first 2 ING cup games.

Although of course the games are being played in Sydney and Brisbane so closer to him

did we win, i only heard warnie's figures and we were chasing 220 odd

[eddiesmith]

I dont know how many overs were left but they needed 31 and Warney was 11*, so unless they were running out of overs they should have won in a canter as Warney was batting at no5

What's so bad about this, Eddie ?

I would of thought the TCA would be delighted that he has confirmed he will play with them for the first two games.

Its a shock, he refused to help them out when they were trying to make the ING cup final last year and now suddenly he is happy to play for them in the opening 2 games of this year, of course they are closer to his home than Tasmania

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah, ok Eddie.

Remember reading what you said and yes, it is interesting that he has renegged on his original decision which was that he didn't want to represent his state at one-day level.

[Unwritten_Law]

Tassie won by a run, I missed a good finish :o

[Fred Yeomans]

Hayden made 63 yesterday.
