Satisfying end to a very dominant season. Three finals, with comprehensive wins in probably the two most important to the players (ie credibility winning the SS and money in the Big Bash and Champions League). This I like very much.

Nah, they'll try and salvage some pride by playing for a draw. After taking 6 wickets in the first session they've been comprehensively outplayed the rest of the match.

When Flem sticks to cricket commentary he can be okay, but as a low IQ bogan any attempt at humour (or science forbid wit) is usually very cringeworthy... and he is far too dumb to realise this.

Commentators couldn't understand why they were doing it, especially Stuart Clark who was most perplexed given how much the ball has been moving seam up. Joe Dawes was interviewed at tea and apparently it was a deliberate tactic as they thought the ball wasn't moving enough for them seam up...

Can anyone mount any sort of case for why he is in the side, let alone captain?

Had the same though myself. Most of the Qld seamers are between 115 and 125 also... Swan struggled to get above 120 in the second dig according to the speed gun.

Conditions have settled a tad and the game is there for the taking... by this time tomorrow the game should be safe if we bat with common sense. Hopes tearing a calf certainly helps and sort of cancels out Wright's hammy. Simpson is a perplexing selection for Qld. He bowls like a batting...

Tells it like I sees it... one of the worst knocks I've seen in a long while. Looks good on the scorecard, but required more luck than winning the lottery. Cutting absolutely plumb in the last over but not given. 6/199 at stumps.

Broad has been a beneficiary of his own crapness this afternoon. A number 11 batsman in half decent form would have knicked more of the thou-sands of balls he played and missed at. He's still there, but it has nothing to do with skill... its the type of knock you sledge yourself over. EDIT...

Tim Paine says hi.

I do. There is no way he should have been playing at that ball. It started wide of off stump and kept going. Half decent openers know how to leave the new ball, especially when it is only swinging one way and you've already thick edged a few through the cordon. :confused: His flight back...

Wasn't a peach, Cam simply missed a straight one... terrible shot.

Great knock by Wade, but what the hell was he thinking with that shot? I think we'll pay big time for the pathetic batting effort in the first session. The track is a belter and will remain so for the next couple of days at least. If the Bulls cannot win it from here they don't deserve the...

Decent knock by Hastings, but what a ****ing brain dead way to get out.

Bowling has been steady, but poor batting was the big contributor this morning. Far too loose and cavalier. Ball was doing a little bit, as you'd expect on the first morning of any five day match, but this pitch will be an absolute road by third session, if we make it that far... :(

WTF? Is this one of those new age everyone must win something award?

He's always said he'd play the final, but there was confusion whether IPL franchises could contractually demand players to forego domestic obligations. CA got involved and was not the case... although nothing to stop players bailing of their own accord.

WA match fixing investigations? Their fourth innings efforts have been terrible at best, Pakistani at worst. I'm not as sold on Mitch as everyone else is... has oodles of talent but time will tell I suppose.

LOL at Cossie the useless fat ****... only a few more days and he can go back out to pasture. If only his attitude matched his wagyu quality marbling.

Lynn looks like a real prospect... he and Khawaja seem the classiest of all the young batting prospects to me.

The problem is not financial it is cultural. Your analogy to footy is flawed. Cricket is not part of modern aboriginal culture, footy is. Cricket is a white fellas game.

Not again... surely.

Yeah, but we've got probably the worst attack in the shield playing at the moment. I reckon even SA could chase it down... our attack is that bad.

What a bizarre game. All the humidity must have the pitch growing new grass like a greek grows facial hair... McDonald taking advantage of the 5 o'clock shadow! Great effort from the skipper with 3 wickets in his 4 overs, although now we seem to have the upper hand again Bulls will most likely...

WTF happened? Are the conditions muggy and conducive to the ball hooping around or was it simply shithouse batting? Not a good sign to collapse like that this close to the final. Thank **** Hastings has stood up again and at least given us a remote chance of posting enough to defend.

Great effort to make it to the final, but with the number of bowlers missing or injured it will be a very tough ask. Still, gotta be in it to win it.

LOL, someone spent Friday arvo down the pub.

Me fink it 'mazing... would have lost my house on an outright win with that attack. Great effort by the Vics, very ordinary from the Blues.

13 more runs would do nicely, then it can rain all day... 2 points would suit me fine and dandy.
