At least we have a new opener

First day of the women's test match vs South Africa tomorrow at the WACA.

I was planning to be there as my 8yo son was signed up to play on the ground during the lunch break but the forecast is for 42 degrees so they've cancelled it. Bummer.

Will the kids still be allowed to play if the test is cancelled though?

The SA debutants comin back hard against NZ in this second test after the first test shelacking.

Tom Rogers (Vic v NSW] with one of the best centuries you'll ever see, 196 off 142 and out in the 47th over.

Nope. Crappy place to watch cricket at the best of times, and given the heat and total lack of shade for non-members, I'm at work instead.

Apparently a fantastic day for bowling in the west

Apparently a fantastic day for bowling in the west

I watched the 1st 4 overs of South Africa before going to work.

There was 2 wickets and 2 dropped catches. There was good bounce and a little swing but the batting techniques were terrible

42/43… great day for beach or pub

We watched most of the innings. I can tell you it didn't improve.

However at 3/16 earlier it looked like Australia might have been lucky to avoid the follow on.

They have hit the lead though.

Why not both? The Cott?

The Cott and I have this love hate relationship since my 20’s…

I still love her but she really hates me

Healy out 99 ffs. Shattering.

That's rough.



But...

 

[CURVE]

Healy out 99 ffs. Shattering.

Healy and her husband have something in common, a highest test score of 99.

Jadeja absolutely burning India's version of Mark Cosgrove, Sarfaraz Khan who was 62 off 66 balls on debut while on he was on 99 then bringing up his century the next ball was a classic alpha move by the veteran.

 

[Sillygit]

NSW with a decent 50 odd opening partnership, until a quick 5 wickets leaves them 74/5 against the vics

i cant remember which match it was, but i think it was BBL, where the commentators were baffled by positioning a fiedler on the fence directly behind the keeper, "what do you even call that position?!"

it's f*cken long stop, how do you not know that?
