SA's batting depth looks pretty good for me, but Queensland could produce a win. SA for me.

Hoping for big seasons from Joe Burns and Travis Head.

Whilst Queensland don't look great on paper they still have some pretty handy players there in Forrest, Burns and Hartley from a batting perspective. I think the Redbacks should win but who knows, have the better side on paper though. Hoping for big seasons from Travis Head, Callum Ferguson and Adam Zampa.

Hoping for big seasons from Joe Burns and Travis Head.

Head really deserves that 100. Felt sorry for him last year with the consecutive dismissals in the 90's. Will be very excited when he does get there.

McDermott got dropped o.0? Bloody hell he gets rough treatment from Qld Cricket.

Qld batting first

cracking day for it

wonder if they'll get a decent crowd

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Love to know why Hughes isn't back for this game. He isn't even 12th man!

Billy junior junior out for a golden duck on debut

Probably a few hundred here Carl - great day for it - especially now Qld are 3/27.

 

[carnthemlions]

Two 20 year olds and a 19 year old batting in our top 5. You don't see that very often.

 

[grimlock]

Hat trick for Sayers!

WOAH

 

[PrideOf]

WOAH

Fair start to the year by Sayers - bowled, plumb LB and caught behind.

 

[grimlock]

Redbacks going for the kill, Zampa is in the attack.

Unless you're Pakistan. You've got Hartley and Hopes in next. That should settle the ship down.

 

[Thunderstruck]

CHADDY SAYERS!!!! the man!!

CHADDY SAYERS!!!! the man!!

The skipper's now on.

First spell for Chadd in 2014/15 = 8 - 1 - 13 - 3

Oh Gawd, not another season of "Queensland slump to 4/50 and need Hopes and Hartley to bail them out to a semi-respectable score"....??

Based on this morning's session ...

This Labusachgne seems a likely type, steady considering the carnage around him.

He's batted very well today - good temperament as Sayers was on fire this morning. Deserves his 50.

50 on debut, pretty impressive in these circumstances.

Looks tidy too. Nice solid technique.
