[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Assume it will be Zampa in for Richardson for us. Very handy that Mennie was able to fly back and play rather than serve as 12th man for the Aussie team.

Interested to see the wicket. The pitches at AO improved a lot last season. Much more sporting, fair for both teams and conducive to results. It seemed that the experimenting around the pink ball stuff opened their eyes up to what is possible in terms of grass cover, preparing wickets later, amount of moisture left in.

SA should win this

 

[jackess]

Good toss to win for Tassie. SA have a pretty strong top 13-14 this season so it'll be interesting to see how far they can go.

 

[grimlock]

Kingston and Richardson 12th men.

 

[jackess]

Looks like Sayers could be in for a big season. I don't think he should play for Australia though. There are better options.

Cricket Aus finally streaming these games on their Apple TV app

 

[strauchanie59]

Another first class game...another batting collapse for Tassie. 2 or 3 seasons in a row now where the top order just crumbles.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Couple of interesting overs for Worrall in that first session.

Bailey dropped by Lehmann at 3rd slip. Next ball caught by Cooper at 1st... no ball.

Next over snick behind... celebrations, ball thrown to square leg umpire, high fives all round... Not out says Umpire Strikesback. Cue disbelief.

Next ball snick behind... out.

Then a wide.

 

[jackess]

Sayers with 5/25 now. Tas 8/83

 

[jackess]

Tassie have lost 4/3. All to Sayers.

 

[carnthemlions]

That Tassie batting lineup really is woeful at the moment.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Great work from the boys.

 

[MisterMarcus]

That Tassie batting lineup really is woeful at the moment.

On paper, they're not too bad. Just really under-performing.

 

[jackess]

Getting embarrassing for Tasmania now.

Is Bird injured? Hasn't bowled since tea.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Boyce with the half tracker to help SA to 0/103

 

[MisterMarcus]

Seems like SA have finally found a good opening combination.

It's good that they're continuing to back the young players.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Christmas has come early for weatherald with that over.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Getting embarrassing for Tasmania now.

Is Bird injured? Hasn't bowled since tea.

Hes on now.

 

[Gray Day]

This is the most consistent SA side I have seen in a long time. Great to see and surely some of them will be earning baggy greens over the next couple of years.

 

[Aussie_boy]

If ever Ferguson wanted a big knock it was today. Weatherald is class, i'm sure today was the first of many tons.

 

[hey shorty]

Looks like Sayers could be in for a big season. I don't think he should play for Australia though. There are better options.

I don't think there's Mennie better options at all.

 

[Chuckie357]

Like who? He consistently swings the ball just like Ryan Harris did. Give him a crack

Loved that 12th man reference!

Seems like SA have finally found a good opening combination.

It's good that they're continuing to back the young players.

Smith has to learn to keep his bat straight, not the first time hes nicked off trying to work it.

He has a ton of potential though
