well at the moment we can still do it!! DIZZY!!!!! is our only hope!

 

[dylan101]

Delmont out for 13

 

[ams4crows]

we're screwed no way out of this hole now!

 

[ubolt]

i'm giving Rhino a chance.

i reckon he can do it.

 

[dylan101]

It is still definitely possible, I'm not giving up hope just yet

 

[CarnCrows]

We may just well win this.....

 

[dylan101]

bloody Rhino should've done better, gonna be very hard now

 

[CarnCrows]

Im glad Harris is out - 19 of 34 is pathetically slow. A wicket maiden when we need 7 per over - yea good work lads.

C'mon Dizzy!

 

[kimirocks]

Not going to happen.

If only there was a booby prize for coming last, we might actually begin to fill the old rickety trophy cabinet.

 

[ubolt]

not looking good now is it.

31 runs off 16 balls.

at least we have been putting up a real decent fight

 

[dylan101]

efforts from Manou and Harris were just not good enough. Coming to the crease they knew we needed a run a ball and have been nowhere near.

 

[dylan101]

Manou out, we should bring out Taity.

 

[ubolt]

nope.

we're just not good enough sadly

 

[dylan101]

Cullen goes, Harwood gets 5, we lose by 16 runs

 

[CarnCrows]

oh well, cant say it was an unexpected loss.

It will hopefully only get better.

 

[hey shorty]

So sad, couldnt even make it through 50 overs..... we were so close !!! haha.

Its a pretty sad state of affairs when youre movking your own state team.

 

[bus24]

Cameron Borgas..... hang your head in shame.

That was absolutely pathetic. Game on the line, big partnership just broken, needed to consolidate. So he goes and takes a massive swipe like that.

Great knock from Cossie. Such a wonderful talent, if only he was more commited.

Adcock was decent, terrible way to get out though.

Harris just played a ridiculous shot.

Manou......can we have a keeper who can hit it off the square?

 

[ShearMagic9]

Much more impressed by the effort.

I'm not one to support mediocrity, but this season is looking bleak so far.

Positives:

• Cossie showed just what he can do, needs to do it more often though
• Adcock played a decent innings, until wrecking it with a ridiculous shot
• Delmont looks talented, only made 13 and showed his inexperience by the way he got out, but he's definitely one for the future I think
• TAITY IS BACK!!

 

[hey shorty]

There were quite a few positives yeah. I mean Harris bowled quite well at the death. Just shows what a guy can do when the entire attack isnt resting on him when he just isnt a main strike bowler. Delmont will be better for the experience, Adcock played a good knock before throwing it away as did Cossie and I also thought Dan Harris looked OK before he got that ripper.

Bad points were the way in which most of the guys got out, Cossies petulance again (for those who can lip read), Manou just isnt good enough and Dizzy appears to be really struggling. His wife did have a baby last night so he was more than likely up at a late hour but he didnt look like troubling anyone after the first 4 overs.

And then theres the fielding. Not just the dropped catches but this missed runouts. Surely they have to throw the stumps down once. Pathetic.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I went to the game yesterday, it was an enjoyable game to watch albeit a little bit cold.

For me we never really looked likely to win it. Even when we were travelling nicely you looked at the batting order and we were one wicket away from being in deep shit. As it turns out I was right, Borgas has got to go, 3 ducks in a row, I can understand it if he is unlucky, if he gets some unplayable deliveries but he is just batting poorly, no footwork at all.

Glad to see Tait back in action, the man draws people to the game.

 

[jo172]

Wasn't that bad in the end.

Feel for Borgas 3 ducks in a row and a dropped catch.

At least Captain Dudcock did something.

The team will actually look alright with Boof coming into the middle order

 

[ams4crows]

all i can say is thank god for Boof and if we'd had boof firsay night we probably would have won!

 

[swanfan]

all i can say is thank god for Boof and if we'd had boof firsay night we probably would have won!

The sad thing is Boof won't be around forever. His body is starting to feel the wear and tear. The young blokes have to step up because we are relying on too few to do the job.

 

[hey shorty]

Exactly. At the moment we are relying on an ageing star (Lehmann), a highly talented but overweight, inconsistant, petulant batsman (Cossie), a quick who wont be in SA colours much (Tait), a few guys who have a bit of talent but cant be the "gun" players, and a fair few who have nothing to offer. Its a sad state of affairs.

 

[brucetiki]

The Borgas drop, while hilariously pathetic, has nothing on one of the dropsies last year. Where 3 guys stood around while it fell right into the middle of the 3 of them.

I remember that. I've never laughed so hard in my life!
