Nope

Baggers 4/32

Not watching the Spiv game (no access) but Woody tells me that "Chips are grubs". Apparently didn't call Roarer back after he got run out after colliding with the bowler. Qunts.

Cutting has been suprisingly expensive so far despite his wicket.

Rubbers humiliated again although the Roarer thing was quntish.

the chips have the vile slaw in their genes...poor spivs

To be honest, he may as well play as a batsman...


Panesar offers to help out spin-bare NSW

Former England spinner Monty Panesar has put his hand up to help NSW out of a spinning crisis in this week's Sheffield Shield clash against Western Australia.

The Blues' spin stocks are bare thanks to injury and representative duty - skipper Stephen O'Keefe the latest casualty after splitting the webbing in his hand in Sunday's one-day loss to Queensland.

Leg-spinning allrounder Steve Smith is unavailable as he pushes his Test claims with Australia Ain Brisbane from Thursday, while former Australia tweakers Nathan Hauritz (shoulder) and Beau Casson (heart condition) are still working their way back from injury.

Enter Panesar, who is in Sydney playing grade cricket as he attempts to work his way back into the England team.

"I've bowled quite a bit already, I've had three or four games for Randwick-Petersham, I'm more than ready to be honest," Panesar told AAP on Monday.

"If the opportunity came now, I'd love it."

The Blues desperately need to get their Shield campaign going against the Warriors at the SCG, having managed just two points from their opening four games.

They seemingly have few options but to turn to Panesar, who took 126 wickets in 39 Tests for England, the last against Australia in Cardiff in 2009.

Panesar's fall from grace coincided with Graeme Swann's stunning run of success in an English side now rated the best Test outfit in the world.

He has been training with the Blues in between club commitments while also working under the tutelage of former Australia offie Greg Matthews.

Panesar has taken 10 wickets in six matches for Randwick-Petersham at an average of 25 and is hoping to force his way back into the England squad for the games against Pakistan in Dubai.

"I'm out here for three months, it beats sitting at home and watching the football in the cold weather and being indoors," he said.

"Playing in a match and getting 20 overs - you can't beat that."

NSW officials are still hopeful of having fast bowler Trent Copeland available for the clash against the Warriors.

Currently in Johannesburg with the national side, Copeland failed to play in either Test of the series against South Africa.

If Copeland does not play, the Blues will be missing 11 players due to representative commitments.

Doug Bollinger will be out for two weeks as he nurses a hamstring strain, joining the three injured spinners on the sidelines.

Hauritz is expected to make his return in grade cricket this weekend.

Seriously? Is he still playing grade cricket in Perth?

Tassie will be struggling against the Vixen with Bailey, Cowen & Milf in the Aust A side. Vics lose Wade & Pattinson also. Interesting to read that Cam White agrees with me that Doherty should have been selected in the 'A' side. Prolly just as well he was'nt or we'd really be up shyte creek.
