Saffers got a free hit at us. Must be the first time they've beaten us in a WC.

Um, SA’s first ever WC match. But that was in Aus. You were probably still in SA then

Actually I went to the final in Melbourne in 1992 which is my place of birth. Yep that match had slipped my mind because we've had such a hex over SA in key WC matches ever since.

It's an ODI. They all slip minds.

I was at that match - the final result flattered Australia given that Geoff Marsh should have been out first ball of the match.

Could you tell he was out from that far away?

by JGK Mon 08 Jul 2019, 08:32

Could hear the snick.

by Bradman Mon 08 Jul 2019, 08:45

Could never hear a thing from the member's bar. Second best view in cricket though.

by JGK Mon 08 Jul 2019, 08:53

I wasn't in the bar.

Not having too far to move for beer was one of my criteria for watching live sports. Smoking being the other. Alas.....

Unders.

by Bradman Tue 09 Jul 2019, 10:13

Definately, but as I need them in the final l may as well double down. Actually probably tripling down. The ropes covered the final stake. This is just ego.

by JGK Tue 09 Jul 2019, 11:04

Well they are proving me right.

That sloppy loss to SAf will cost Australia this tournament.

by Bradman Tue 09 Jul 2019, 11:06

They're just settling in, playing the long game.

by Bradman Tue 09 Jul 2019, 11:51

Oh dear. A ground strain of some description.

by PeterCS Tue 09 Jul 2019, 11:51

NZ have stabilised this well, given the bad start they got off to.

Should stand them in good stead by the fifth day of this Test.

Oh.

What the hell has happened to Gapptull? He's got as poor as Vince.

by Bradman Tue 09 Jul 2019, 12:11

Ok so it's back to the eighties day in Manchester.

by PeterCS Tue 09 Jul 2019, 12:54

I may have been dreaming, but I thought I saw a couple of boundaries there.

Probably was dreaming. NNN ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ......
