Cricket Discussion - Part 1

[RussellEbertHandball]

Since Packer cricket war ended Adelaide has got either a test match or ODI on or close to Oz day long weekend. But since the 1998-99 when Adelaide got a Decembed test after 10 consecutive late January, test matches, Adelaide has only had 2 late January tests and the rest have been ODI's.

Sydney you piece of s***...




They do absolutetly nothing for the country...

Cant even produce good weather for summer of cricket....

Give them to New Zealand

Great day for cricket here....

Don't know what's going to happen but D/L has to be fixed somehow. It's meant to make it fair when there is a rain delay but the longer this goes on the greater the advantage for the team batting second. Although this site for scg weather doesn't sound promising :

Looking on cricinfo earlier, the long range weather forecast seems to suggest that some World Cup games could be affected by bad weather. Hopefully all of them involve New Zealand and South Africa, and none involve Australia!!!

If the Aussies were to get to the semi final, then a switch from the $CG to Adelaide Oval would be best unless the former ground gets a roof!!!

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

It unAustralian to have bad weather on Australia day...

Sydney is now part of of New Zealand

 

[Greasyrhys]

Match has been abandoned. Think this song is fitting for this debacle:

 

[LFC2010]

Was at Adelaide Oval today (SACA Volunteers day), what a day it would've been to celebrate our Oz day.

New Zealand has always had the North and South Island. It now has the West Island - Sydney.....

New Zealand and South Africa are no threat. Good on tiny oval against weak opposition, fail when the big guns come out. Pakistan are more a chance than those two.

Never been happier for a game to be rained out. Hopefully cricket australia have to refund the tickets to the few who were there.

campaigners

Some good points made here Adelaide conspicuous by Australia Day absence.

I wasn't aware CA contributed zilch to the Adelaide Oval redevelopment, i'm glad that they would've made a considerable loss in ratings & attendance income whilst having to offer refunds to those who only got to watch a couple overs in the pouring rain.

Something is seriously wrong over there at CA for them to have such open favoritism towards NSW whilst robbing SA, QLD & WA of matches they deserve, Adelaide Oval is one of the best venues in the country if they want to continue to shun us then I hope Sutherland & co enjoy many failures in the future similar to Australia day.

So with them contributing zero $ to the redevelopment, does this mean all money made from the bars and kiosks at AO stay in SACA's pockets, or do CA (like SNAFL) put their sticky fingers into them and take money they don't deserve?

How's the comment (obviously written by a New South Welshman), "SA gets more than its fair share - they should get over it." Hopefully Sydney's next game gets rained out as well

Good to see Steve Smith win the Allan Border Medal - bit of a no brainer really: he's been a superstar.

But what really put a smile on my face was the fact that Sean Abbott won the Bradman Medal. After the incredible trauma of the Hughes tragedy, the kid deserves a bit of good news.

Jeff Vaughan to take over as caretaker.

I'm a big fan of Vaughany after he was coach at my cricket club for a couple of years. He's a great technical coach and he was terrific for club culture.

Hopefully he can do well.

Stupid was getting all schadenfreudy when the Aus v Ind one-dayer got washed out the other day because that's the game that "should have been at Adelaide Oval!". 6PR have been carrying on the same about the BBL final being played at Manooka instead of The Furnace because showers are forecast for Canberra today. Conveniently ignoring this forecast for Perth today:

Perth area
Very hot. Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower. The chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon.

abbott young cricketer of the year.... tokenism at its absolute worst

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

FUUUU .....


I HATE EVERYTHING SYDNEY

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Wow wow wow

That was an epic last few overs, didn't want Lyon to help them win it so it was good to see his last delivery go for 6.

Unfortunate for Binga & despite what I said a page back it was good to see Klinger be part of a winning final.
