I reckon Vague deserves some latitude. It wasn't that long ago he was averaging 100 in Tests. Keep him in and replace Puddle with Ferguson.

Vague fails against good opposition.

Still he is a genuine batsman as Sniffy2 puts it. Sniffy says they may go with 6 "genuine" batsmen. Also looks like Lyon will miss ostensibly because of the pitch.

We'll see.

Radar showing persistent rain to the east of Hobart. Bellerive is clear ATM but forecast is not great.

by lardbucket Fri 11 Nov 2016, 21:01

Dampness is in the air, but there is no actual precipitation. I am heading over in an hour or so.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 21:27

Enjoy!!

Today is the sort of day (overcast, greentop) where you expect your not-going-very-well team to lose the toss and be inserted.

by JGK Fri 11 Nov 2016, 21:56

Yep. We'll be sent in. Be 8 down for about 80 before the rain comes.

by horace Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:11

Faf wins toss and opts to bowl.

Sadly for Oz snorkel was not selected but then Lyon was.

So farking predictable. Yup - a double digit total on the cards now.

by horace Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:38

GCS fails. Farkiol... Stoopid spiv.

Doubt we'll make 100.

by Nath Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:38

Warner out 1st over playing a reckless shot. 47 all out coming up.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:40

Predictable abysmal shot by the Slogger. You're VC, FFS, show some commonsense for once in your life.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:41

And now Monty is gone. No referral. 47 will be a good score.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:42

So now we have I-don't-move-my-feet Ooze and Twitchy McGee at the wicket. We are so farked.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:43

Smith must've just sighed and thought "yeah, that'd be right" when Faf called correctly.

by Henry Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:43

There's a bit of Twatto in that technique from Burns.....

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:44

The DRS replay might be interesting on the Burns dismissal.

by Big Dog Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:44

Burns fails. Who'da thunk it.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:45

DRS says just clipping leg, so a wise non-review from Monty.

by skully Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:46

All I can say is thank fark I'm going out.

by Henry Fri 11 Nov 2016, 23:47

So which FBers are currently at the ground? And where are you sitting?
