SACA Redbacks 09/10 Thread

[RoosterLad]

Cosgrove out LB and apparently wasn't too happy with the decision! Wonderful century though.

Get rid of Hussey and bring in Cosgrove I say.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Over 86.6: Hastings to Cosgrove, OUT, a lovely yorker right on midle stump! Cosgrove lbw Hastings for 103 (#178, 146b, 4x14). SA Westend Redbacks 3/268 (Klinger 68*). Next to bat is Cameron Borgas.

Cricket Australia say it was on middle stump, maybe he wasn't pleased with his attempted shot

 

[RangaInTeal]

UNder edge, He hit the ball down towards his toe

 

[Moonwatcher]

oh bugga, well Klinger brought up his 100 just now. Hope someone can go on with it.

Robbed!!!!!!!!!

Would have made a double ton by now if he wasn't give out.

Good to see Klinger get a ton but needs to go on with it now, this could be a battle for first innings points so need a huge score as Hodge will score his usual ton against us.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Did anyone see the appeals for Klinger in his first over. Apparently they were pretty close, so swings and roundabouts i guess.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Disagree, while Cosgrove is as naturally gifted as anyone you mention it's just not his physical shape that lets him down. He's mentally soft and fails to produce runs when needed and freqently gets out in soft and lazy ways.

What rubbish.

He averages more and has won more games than any SA batter of recent times apart from Lehmann and Blewett.

What critics like yourself who lampoon the likes of Cosgrove and Mark Waugh don't ever seem to understand is that batters who play an attacking game are going to get out playing attacking shots. And batters who bat with a relaxed, elegant style are going to have the same style on the ball when they get out.

 

[RoosterLad]

I have read elsewhere that Klinger was dropped on 0 by Hodge as well...

 

[Moonwatcher]

Over 130.5: Hastings to Klinger, FOUR, short, pulled off middle stump to the backward square boundary to bring up his 150 and the 400 for SA.

backed up with a four of the next ball too. 90 run partnership.

 

[RangaInTeal]

100 run partnership, declare at tea, giving them 2 days and a session to make 430 odd, it is possible but we need first ininnings points!

 

[RoosterLad]

Victoria would make 430 in more than 2 days easily! It depends what we want to do, either keep batting and rack up as much as possible and go for first innings.

Or declare in the hope of getting all 6...

Hes doing a pretty good job of going on with it. 167 as we speak.

Fantastic effort by both Cosgrove and Klinger. Good to see the Corporal finding some form again this season after we jerked him around earlier.

What rubbish.

Oh please, both Ferguson and Klinger would have won more games for SA than Cosgrove.

What critics like yourself who lampoon the likes of Cosgrove and Mark Waugh don't ever seem to understand is that batters who play an attacking game are going to get out playing attacking shots. And batters who bat with a relaxed, elegant style are going to have the same style on the ball when they get out.

World of difference between the two. The amount of times Cosgrove gets out just trying to tonk it over the infield not to come across is just plain easy.

For the record I love Mark Waugh.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Maiden ton at the G and has gone on to get 200 the ex Vic.

 

[Gets!]

Let's just keep batting and batting and put them in with 5 overs to go today.

Great stuff SOUTH AUSTRALIA

edit: declared.

 

[jo172]

Not to mention Klinger and Christian putting on 103 off 106 balls

I really like Christian, gun fieldsman, bowler who moves the ball and a good striker of the ball.

Reminds me alot of James Hopes.

 

[RoosterLad]

Christian is a ****en champ. Our batting lineup looks alright except for MANOU.. who is batting too high.

O'Brien has been in decent form this season and Christian is a star, both should be above him in my opinion anyway...

Anyway super knock by Klinger, his knock and that last partnership have give us a very good score. Get a few wickets tonight and we are looking good ladies.


We get 13 overs at them tonight.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Snagged Rogers at the death.

Fantastic day for us. In a very strong position to walk away with points, which helps alot in the race to the final.

 

[Drummond]

How good is Christian? Superstar. No idea why he continues to be wasted down the order though.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

get Manou down the order, horribly out of form, to be honest I think last year was just a fluke. He should just get his baggy green put in a decortavive frame because he will not play another test.

 

[cammo6556]

On current form he deserves a gig in the Aussie t20 side at least. Only problem is pup keeps getting a game.

Warner
Hughes
haddin
white
henriques
Christian
smith
Johnson
hautitz
tait
bollinger

bat well down the order with tons of bowling options.

 

[Mismatched]

Great work by Klinger and Cosi

Great to see 95% of Cosi's runs didn't come from boundries, only about 50%, thats a lot of running for the boy, I think he might sleep well tonight

Also great work by Klinger, 4 sixes on the MCG is no mean feat, unless they brought the boundries in a fair way.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good effort by the boys. Apparently Vic didn't concede a single point last year. If we can go away from the G 2 points all from our two encounters, it would be a big 'win' for SA. We could push for a finals birth this year.

Great effort by the boys - are we turing a corner finally

as for Cosi if he can make 100's regually then who fxxxxn cares about his weight - its a Cricket Ground not a Catwalk!

 

[RoosterLad]

Hodge only made 11!

Vics 5/192 now.
