Redbacks: Title Town

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Tassie 1/41 at stumps
Weatherald 26*

No leg spinner so we're relying on the quicks + Manenti who I really only regards as a bits and pieces option (averages 47 with the ball)

Yep, Pope would be handy, should still win it from here though

Where isn't Pope playing? Injured?

I reckon horses for course/ Manetti selection

Manentti plays every week

Manentti plays every week

Yep he does but we are only going to play one spinner and we really want an extra batsman because we are still to scared to trust our top 6 (with very good reason mind) and Manetti fits that bill.

He isn't a great spinner though and definitely not one you would say gets wickets but holds up an end. He is like a redbacks version of Lachie Murphy and like Murph, he has a leadership position

He's better than Murphy.

Has a FC batting average of nearly 37, which is higher than most of his regular teammates.

Lachie couldn't say that.

Lachies SC average is nearly 37...

205 runs behind
8 wickets in hand
48 overs left in the day

 

[Eagleboy2011]

2 quick wickets. 4-230

 

[GreyCrow]

Out to 6 runs an over for Tassie

Not sure we take the wickets but a good draw should help

 

[Firewalker]

Tim Ward for Tassie forgets how to bat for the best part of 2 seasons then comes good the last 2 matches, lot of that going around it seems at Shield level with Kurtis Patterson & Jake Weatherald as well.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Cracking one handed low catch from Nielsen off the bowling of Agar to finally dismiss Ward! Game still alive.

Nah. Bowling is rubbish.

 

[1990crow]

This is a completely disgusting performance.

 

[jackster83]

Benny Hill music required for that catching attempt.

They raise your hopes, then play like this. It's just pathetic.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

This is a completely disgusting performance.

Calm down, pitches in Tassie have flattened out as the game goes on for a while now. This one was even flat from day one. The days of this being a bowling paradise are gone.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

This is literally only a game because SA declared their first innings early after all the rain. Without that, this was heading for a draw. No idea how Tassie collapsed for 200 on this pitch in their first innings.

There's a difference between flat and bowling deadset rubbish, dropping catches and letting a team be 5 down for nearly 400.

It's not acceptable.

 

[jackster83]

Oh dear.

SA were 6/398 on this same pitch, calm down, it’s flat. Has been some great batting to consistently hit gaps too. The catch dropped a bit earlier was ****ing tough too (not the Hunt one, one before that).

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Oh dear.

Glad we didn’t just bat out our first innings and turned this into a contest. Credit to Tassie here too, hitting gaps superbly on the boundary.
