First innings tie?

Richardson just screwed us there after taking the wicket..

First innings tie?

Just as good as FIP for SA.

Just as good as FIP for SA.

Not at all

 

[eth-dog]

Not at all

Puts you top, NSW still 3rd if both this game and WA don't win

 

[grimlock]

Misfield and they take the single! 2 runs to get and Bollinger on strike with 2 balls to go in the over. Drama.

 

[grimlock]

Dougie digs out the yorker!! Cmon you Blues!!

 

[grimlock]

They scamper a single on the 3rd ball. Scores tied! Dougie on strike.

 

[grimlock]

Thick edge from Dougie and we have the points!! YEAAAAAAAAAAHHH

 

[Ron]

Great stuff

Well done Nevill.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Only needed another 5 runs

 

[threefa9]

Nek week will b interesting

 

[eth-dog]

So 3 teams tied on 26. If none of them win, Queensland are basically guaranteed 3rd or possibly 2nd if Tassie beat SA in Tassie

 

[grimlock]

NSW will have to bowl really well this innings, I don't like our chances chasing anything above 200 in the last innings.

 

[eth-dog]

If I were Nevill I'd shuffle the order so Maddinson drops back to 4 and everyone moves up 1 position

 

[scotty13]

Geez what a finish to the first innings. Came down to a matter of balls, and SA let it slip... again!

Hopefully we can make about 300 by end of day today, and hold NSW to less than that for 10wickets in the 4th innings.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

300 in two sessions is pretty ambitious.

I feel nervous about us chasing 150.

 

[scotty13]

yeah it is... maybe 250 and bat for half of first session tomorrow. Last thing we want is to set a target the NSW can reach. A draw is better than a loss here.

 

[grimlock]

Redbacks going hard, hopefully it will back fire on them.

 

[scotty13]

Good to see Raph get his 50... hopefully he can turn it into a 100

 

[Aussie_boy]

Great match so far actually, FIP going to NSW not ideal but I reckon that SA can win this outright. Get the lead up to between 280-300 tomorrow and then let rip I reckon, will go down to the wire either way.

 

[Phone]

They lost two overs today.


If NSW miss out on the final due to docked points for a slow over rate again...

 

[Daz]

Cooper dropping Nevill when they were 9 down was not ideal. Seemed like everything was going against Botha for a while there.

Yep and Ludeman had a poor session behind the stumps too dropping Nevill in one he would expect himself to take and then letting a bye through to Botha to allow Nevill to get down the other end. Botha though looked threatening every ball against the tail though, which is why I believe there is a good chance of a Redbacks win tomorrow. Have them 5 down by Tea and then have Sayers and Botha rotating under lights would be good if it went to plan. Carters is due for a fail But then again Maddinson is due for his annual big knock vs SA. Nevill in my opinion is the key wicket, bats time with ease.
