Cricket Discussion - Part 1

[mic59]

NSW 7/337 are 65 runs behind but Bollinger scored 32 in the first innings so even if they get to 1 wicket left they still have a good chance. GraveDanger was obviously spot on about the conditions, even with their bowlers in NSW are not letting the required run rate get over 4.
Bangladesh are 4/143 and need 48 runs to win.

EDIT : NSW 8/364.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Now 8 down with 39 runs needed. The ex-keeper still at the crease, get him out quickly & hope the last falls cheaply.

 

[Grave Danger]

Looking like a charmed day for SA teams - Collywobbles let Lady Crows into the AFLW final; the Reds scored a 98th minute penalty to beat Brisbane Roar and now NSW are falling in a heap at the WACA.

Kissed on the proverbials or what?!

 

[Greasyrhys]

I can see N$W winning by one wicket, would be so, so cruel.

If it was raining female movie stars, we'd catch Julia Roberts in her birthday suit

9/379 ... Bollinger out!

Turner 5 for

 

[mic59]

If they add 24 you will not hear from me until I get a computer to replace the one I will have put my foot through. And Bangladesh need 29 with 5 wickets in hand. Sounds like us against WA except I think they will win this one.

Serious question: in the event of a tie, who makes the final?

Even a tie would be unacceptable.

N$W as it's 3 points for a tie, 1 for a draw. We were less than 3 points ahead of them after our game finished.

 

[mic59]

4 overs remaining, NSW require 18 runs.

With the way things are going at the moment, that would mean the suit that she wears to go to birthday parties.

Nevill out, WA wins by 6 runs. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

 

[glitch01]

Way to go WA!!

 

[ozph1870]

To Alice springs we go....

 

[mic59]

Nevill out and WA win by 6 runs! We are in the final!

 

[philreich]

Dare to dream: Chadd Sayers bowls SA to Shield glory.......still won't be considered for an Ashes berth next summer LOL.

 

[Rising Power]

6 runs required with 2 overs left and Nevill goes for the reverse sweep. Hahahahahaha sucked in NSW

 

[1954]

Gutsy effort by NSW, let's hope the Redbacks show as much comic cuts in the final.

Nevill's new nickname is Mike Gatting: he stuffed up a reverse sweep in a World Cup final, to hand victory to Australia .

 

[Greasyrhys]

Phew, a little too close for comfort. At least this time we'll be at full strength for the final. Head really needs to pull his finger out & lead like a true skipper.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

So will more than 50 people and a few stray dogs be watching the final at Traeger Park in Alice Springs next week?? Surely there must be an oval in Victoria be it places like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo etc that have an oval good enough to host the final if they can't find one in Melbourne because footy starts.

 

[philreich]

Tricky little session coming up for our batsmen before stumps. India has just declared at a mammoth 9 for 603, a lead of 152. Can Warner play within himself and survive until stumps? I'm nervous.

 

[Greasyrhys]

The Bangers have won by 4 wickets in their 100th test, good on them!

And they did something we couldn't do last year: win in Sri Lanka.
