20/20 redbacks line up

[raikkonen]

so why isn't Afridi available for the final? Pakistan duty?

Here's hoping they be kind and let him play. There is a ODI on the 22nd in Brisbane, then they would fly to Adelaide the next day for Australia Day game on the 26th. Final is on the 23rd. It could happen maybe?

Hoping but doubt it

Looks like ticket sales are going quite strong - I purchased mine an hour ago and still haven't received the e-mail with the tickets!

EDIT: Finally got them, nearly 6 hours after ordering them (and only after I e-mailed Ticketek asking for them).

 

[brucetiki]

So far looks like about 5000 tickets have been sold for the final

+ all the grade passes get you in the gate also!

 

[Tadpole]

Got my ticket today. Should be a good game against TBA.

And here comes the Redback choke.

Bad call Punchy, bad call.

Bad call Punchy, bad call.

Yeah but you wouldn’t have been alone in thinking that. It’s not like the Red Backs have any creditability of performing when the heat is on. Kudos to the players, coaching staff and trainers but even the most ardent Red Back supporter would have been expecting them to capitulate last night.

Fair call, but Tassie couldn't close a deal on Stormy Summers let alone the Redbacks (they fell well short chasing 150-odd against Queensland last week), so I was quietly confident the Redbacks could defend that total.

If it were against anyone else (bar NSW at the moment), I would have said game well and truly over after that capitulation.

I was looking forward to watching the final from the upper deck of thr Bradman, however I just realised - I'm going to a bloody wedding on the 23rd

[ams4crows]

so If I have a SACA transferable card does that mean I just rock up and get in or do I need to get ticket still?

I've heard from other forums that SACA will only accept these if the game isn't a sellout.

Redbacks in trouble against NSW

2/21 after 2.4 overs

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

4/40... better to have a bad one today than on Saturday I guess

 

[brucetiki]

6/61 after 10

(12/65 since the rot started against Tasmania)

 

[brucetiki]

8/74 now

 

[RoosterLad]

This is ****ing shit. 9 down now.

 

[brucetiki]

81 All out - last time I cringed that much in an hour was when I saw Bruno!

NSW have scored 57 and 71 in the past two matches (albeit that 57 was in a 9 over game), lets hope NSW continue their batting woes

6/61 after 10

(12/65 since the rot started against Tasmania)

I agree better to get this shit game out the way before the final!

 

[BACCS]

I would say this game is gone, just quietly...

 

[brucetiki]

NSW 1/78 after 7.2

Warner 54

At least NSW are making it quick and painless!

 

[brucetiki]

I would say this game is gone, just quietly...

I agree

 

[brucetiki]

NSW 2/84

The pain is over for tonight. Big concerns leading into the final

The optimist in me says get the bad one out of the way now, the pessimist in me has big concerns.

Considering the 6/4 collapse against Tasmania (and both batting capitulations against the bottom two sides of the comp), I say we have major concerns with our batting.
