Redbacks: Title Town

[Smoooothy]

I had no interest in cricket at that stage (gained it in '97) but it is interesting to look back at how Gilchrist almost destroyed us.

That was the first time I remember seeing him. Absolutely tore us a new one.

Jamie Siddons 2nd innings was the most patient innings I've ever seen. How you can score 4 off 150 odd deliveries is beyond me

The sort of thing that used to be possible before T20 destroyed batting skills and technique

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Siddons was the flashiest, sloggiest player going around too. Long before T20 was on the scene.

 

[Smoooothy]

Ah, the days where run a ball tons were nearly unheard of

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Didn't Gilchrist blast us to all parts for 180 in the same game?

There are people in the crowd!

And what the hell was that stand on the north eastern side.

Final day was like that final ashes session in 06 where the ground filled up in the last session. Amazing atmosphere

And what the hell was that stand on the north eastern side.

That was built for the Adelaide Rams. A couple weeks before the season was due to start the courts got involved. So that stand got pulled down

I remember a chemistry teacher put up a Rams poster on the door of his classroom at my high school. I think it outlasted the team by about 5 years.

How many was that?

 

[Smoooothy]

How many was that?

Would have been 20 odd. Its a real shame they couldn't get going, needed a couple more years. Apparently there's nothing in Australia west of the eastern cities still

Bloody McIntyre and George.


Enjoy people, was a great feeling finally having WA in the final, when I was old enough to appreciate it.

 

[Smoooothy]

Enjoy the final.couple overs from the last shield final

 

[hey shorty]

2 of the worst batsmen of all time. What a noise, brings a tear to the eye.

We had absolutely no right to win this game.

I like the bit about being remembered for a long time.

We haven't won one since so it can't be forgot!

 

[Hank93]

For all the excitement, I'm really interested in how many actually bother to turn up tomorrow.

I'm planning on heading down!

 

[hey shorty]

If i wasn't working I'd head down, hopefully Monday after work I'll be there

 

[brucetiki]

I might head down tomorrow, and will definitely try and head down after work days 4/5 if it looks like we'll win

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'll be there tomorrow. Reckon a few will be hanging out for something to do.

Shame it didn't start today!

I reckon we'll go with 4 quicks again, Andrews 12th.
