Redbacks: Title Town

[GreyCrow]

Explain to me what this means.
Is it not
SA win = champs
Draw = Champs
Lose = not champs
??

Yes because the points are ahead for SA

If SA win, then they're champs. If QLD win, then they're champs.

In the event of a draw, the result is decided on the basis of 1st Innings Bonus Points:

• 0.1 BPs per wicket taken in the first 100 overs
• 0.01 BPs for every run over 200 in the first 100 overs

SA scored 1.71 BPs to QLDs 1.0 BPs - so if the game is drawn, then SA will be champs.

However, it appears highly likely that the game will end in a result, given that QLD started their 2nd innings straight after lunch on Day 2 (of 5).

Khawaja annoyingly looks in much better nick today

Big wicket that, he looked very comfortable

Marnus plumb..... not out apparently.

Not great with the LBWs this match, seem very reluctant to give anything

 

[Crow-eater]

Got a bad feeling about this.

 

[Cromulant]

We'll be fine, weve shown all season we can trust these guys again.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Got him

 

[Firewalker]

Out off a NB looked a great catch by Scott at the ground nonetheless

 

[treeman]

What a joke!
Why do they even check the no ball. They don't check them for lbw decisions or any other wickets yet they do if the catch is dicey.
Surely just check on the catch.

I may or may not be right about that according to Laurie on the commentary

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Firewalker]

When Marnus starts hitting that ball off his pads through that straightish mid-wicket area you know he’s feeling pretty good

Maybe he’s taken Peter Doherty calling him a w***er personally….

 

[MarcusP2]

This is prime for a choke.

 

[relapse]

It's hard to be confident because unfortunately you can never trust this side.

QLD have settled and if Marnus stays in for a while they could easily get to around the 350-400 mark.

If they set a target around the 200 mark it will be very defendable, especially against us.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Only softcocks bowl first.

I’m half joking of course… but this match has awkward fourth innings run chase written all over it.

 

[Cromulant]

Theres the big one

They've been very trustworthy this season

Back in the rooms, he has wanking to do

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Biggggg

 

[rocket18]

Yes, got him!

 

[Slippery Pete]

Yes, got him!

Mate, that was light years ago. You had me thinking there was another wicket.

Of course it happened after I left the ground, saw 2 wickets in the 3 hours I was at the ground, most of the last 2 sessions have been a tough slog for the bowlers & fans that rocked up.

Will have to pry some wicket either late today or early tomorrow as it looks like the traditional absolute do nothing flatty again tomorrow. Have a sneaky suspicion it might get a bit up and down day 4 so wouldn’t want to chase too many.

I reckon late on Day 4 it might, but we'll have good batting conditions for most of the chase, provided we get them before the end of the 2nd session tomorrow
