Endless Summer of Cricket

[King Elvis]

The ICC has to give this pitch a poor rating, or even an unfit rating

Was it the G that got a poor rating a few years ago?

This pitch is a hilarious.

Was it the G that got a poor rating a few years ago?

This pitch is a hilarious.

Almost needed goggles to keep the dirt out of the batters eyes after it exploded upwards every time the ball pitched.

 

[Peter Doherty]

200 to Head.

 

[Concussion test]

Redbacks declare 8/510.

I think this would be our highest score in Perth since 9/575d in 1970 when the great Barry Richards scored 325no on the first day.

KG played in that match as well, but missed out on the run fest.

 

[BronCrow]

Look like the Redbacks might get up. 3 more wickets to take with 17 overs left in the match.

 

[hey shorty]

Unlikely, we are usually rubbish at bowling out the tail.

The fact we've got this close is a quality effort.

Have to get Cartwright out. While he is still there they can eek out a draw.

There's that mouse again!

So damn unlucky in the end! That last ball of the match just popped up off the bat and somehow missed the million fielders in close ☹. Brilliant bowling from Worrall and Grant in particular. Declaring 100 runs behind is always very risky.

Corey Kelly debuting for SA today, dad is Adelaide Crow 2 gamer Matthew Kelly.

 

[Cap]

ahh, the Redbacks

 

[hey shorty]

ahh, the Redbacks

They're flying now.

 

[hey shorty]

1/200 after 30.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ahh, the Redbacks. Never change.

 

[Cap]

1/200 after 30.

And queue collapse.

Real shame that one

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Even for the Crapbacks this is quite the choke

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The choking and loser mentality is ingrained on the Redbacks culture and I can't see anything ever changing that.

 

[hey shorty]

Not even sure it's a choke, it's just a pure lack of talent.

Kelly doesn't fall over, Cooper stays in and we probably win.

 

[Concussion test]

4 runouts!

Four runouts is a choke, lost 9/100!

 

[hey shorty]

Four runouts is a choke, lost 9/100!

The Cooper one was a slip I reckon.

 

[BACCS]

Four runouts is a choke, lost 9/100!

Head’s runout is hardly a choke, there was two there, just some elite fielding from Green/Inglis. Also would’ve been quite tired by that point too in what looked like hot and humid weather.

 

[BACCS]

The Cooper one was a slip I reckon.

Definitely, but he could’ve at least had a quick look first before committing so far.
