Redbacks No More - SACA spuds are back

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Anyone else having issues with the stream?

Yeah it's been in and out. At one stage the button wasn't even available.

Is up and running now. Game tightening up. Need a wicket.

Mine not working at all. Damn. Yep a wicket would be good. will be a close finish especially with Worral down.

That was close.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Phew!

 

[hey shorty]

Gonna say it........

We are making finals a habit

 

[Jars458]

Great win in the end. That Sayers over the difference. Cooper with the icing on the cake though they were still in it in the last over. The Vic NSW game was abandoned due to an unsafe pitch when 80% of the game was done. Bizarre stuff. Prelim final against Victoria. Will Richo and Head be available for that game?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Apparently Richardson, Head and Xampa available tomorrow.

Presumably Maxwell, Stoinos available for Vics. Where there other Vics away with the Aussie team?

Apparently Stoinis is a WA player this year. Christian can play for Vic.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Oh... that guy.

Will be tough!

 

[jo172]

Obviously will jinx us but hell of a start. 0/174 off 31 overs, Carey 76*, Weatherald 92*

So what is the logic behind these games being played in front on neutral empty grounds?

It started out of necessity - early season only Qld and northern NSW could provide turf wickets and good weather. Plus having teams in one place meant lower travel costs.

But it's somehow edged later in the year slightly but retained the neutral element. I can only think the reasoning is that they're trying to do the stupidest, least popular thing possible.

They could play it at Glenelg Oval and get more people.

Thats meant to be the premier 50 over comp and it gets as manu people as a district cricket match.

 

[hey shorty]

Thread change ??

Redbacks make yet another final

 

[Aussie_boy]

The Redbacks have now made 5 finals in under 6 years... Close to 7 in 7 if you include T20

I think Channel 9 was a pretty big fan of all the games being close together (while it was still broadcast) too in the lessening of production costs?

It was to create a 'tournament' feel to help players prepare for World Cups. Not sure how playing in suburban Sydney does that but it's the line CA have been playing for a few years.

SA teams have really done very little when the pressure is on.

2x AFL losses, 2 shield loses 1x domestic OD matches and how many times have the strikers flopped?

 

[brucetiki]

AFLW side did ok

Losing finals is a new form of disappointment.

Sure, we might miss out on the endless months of laughing stock cricket but now all the disappointment is packaged up in one bitter end-of-season pill.

What's worse? The frustration being drip-fed over several months? Or having our hopes raised all season only to crash n burn when it really counts?

I've just accepted that SA teams are there to entertain during the regular season. They rarely disappoint.
