.... and the inevitable run out without facing a ball. What Redbacks inning would be complete without it?

Redbacks remind me of a book I read as a kid. It was titled "I Can Jump Puddles". At one point, the crippled kid in the book entered a race and was given a handicap to give him a chance. When the gun went off, he stood there waiting for the others to catch up before he started running. That is how the Redbacks play cricket.

There was only one dismissal from a good ball today (for both teams). That was a terrible display of batting from both states, it wasn't a 17/180 in a day type pitch.

Nice start to the morning. Generally being 45 behind after first innings is a pretty good result :p

We had a bit of a rough spot mid innings, losing 6/8 to be all out 71.

If we all batted left (wrong) handed would we fare any worse?

Luckily Qld also stink.

Good to see a few seasons in that our batters have adjusted to the Dukes ball.

Unless I'm missing something, the majority of the dismissals so far have just been poor batting.
