Ke Sera etc. Would definitely heard more if wade had done sthinh less than his current pass mark.

by WideWally Wed 15 Mar 2017, 03:18

Aye. Hartley has been the best wicketkeeper on the country for many years & he can bat quite well. He's averaging 92 this season, topped the Qld Averages the previous season (44.08) & also made 522 runs @ 37.28 the season before. So the argument that Haddin & Wade were selected because they were better batsmen is fairly weak considering their incompetence with the gloves.

Anyway, rain has been predicted in Brisbane every day for the next week so there mightn't be a lot of cricket played at Border Field.

Rain on the weekend predicted for Perth too

Been having some glorious weather here for the last couple of weeks but rain is forecast for day one of the Tas v Sossie game tomorrow.Should be fine & hot after that.

by Big Dog Thu 16 Mar 2017, 07:15

Tas dismissed SA for 225 with Bell taking 3 on debut however Tassies batting woes continue. Currently 24/2 with a late finish due to rain delays.

Wozzies find corm again after copping a shellacking last week. Vix made a good start after the bowlers did the job.

by Big Dog Fri 17 Mar 2017, 05:41

Tas 332 all out. A lead of 107. Ton to young Billy the Kid. Michelle to Mennie.

by WideWally Fri 17 Mar 2017, 06:15

I was hoping that Doolan would get caught by Dalton.

really good

got lightning and thundered off on the second day ...then it pissed down and we had no chance of getting back on

game was out of reach for the second batting team anyway ( 5/50 chasing 330 with 50 overs left)

The first bowler I umpired was playing ...took (waca district) wickets 1113 to 1117 in the game

Grandson of one my old clients/friends was playing ...he scored 142, got dropped 5 times and caught on a no ball (which I called)

Best comeback ever heard

skipper setting field for his spinner

loud mouthed fielder ( he never shut up and it was mainly garbage) says " we need a deep point for his short ball"

captain says " shut up ....when do i ever set a field for bad bowling?"

LMF ...." Everytime you give me the ball"

Best spray

LMF when bowling has started acting like a pork chop

yelled "F*ck!" after getting hit for 4 ...had started kicking the pitch and had threatened to throw the ball at the batsman a couple of times
I had a quick chat with the skip that he needed to calm his player down and especially stop him swearing

LMF got a two minute dressing down with heaps of finger pointing and swearing after his over and another one before he started his next over. Worked a treat

Hehehe...great story

Qld currently 5/15 Shocked

61 all out. Could have been a lot worse.

by Big Dog Sat 18 Mar 2017, 07:59

63 by Zampa really stuffed Tassie who will need to score at 100 per session to win. It won't happen of course. One positive to come out of the game is a good performance by debutant quickie Bell who took 7 wickets. Trouble is that Tassie need batsmen.

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 08:08

300 to win on the last day seems a bridge too far.

The Wozzies will be looking for Tasmania to survive; if they can keep SA at bay WA can secure a place in the final by dismissing NSW on the last day of their match.

Cartwright is in good form in WA!

by horace Sat 18 Mar 2017, 08:47

Sad note for Hartley to finish on. Notably he top scored in the 2nd innings debacle.

Seems that OP bowled with aggression, pace and movement

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:18

WA has nearly enough runs now to put NSW in just before stumps. They need 10 wickets and that will take time. If NSW make 300 plus in the 4th innings to win, good luck to them.

by horace Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:23

should be a good final if WA win and Tas hold on

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:30

That's the outcome I'm hoping for.

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:39

Come on, WA. You have enough. Declare.

by horace Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:47

hmmn... if WA win this and the Final I am expecting some stick

by horace Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:52

might have to concede the bnlg can coach anything beyond clown cricket if they win.

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:54

You'll be the last to acknowledge it.

by lardbucket Sat 18 Mar 2017, 09:59

Cartwright slogging but these overs would be better spent bowling than adding more runs to an already difficult target.

NSW already need 400+ to win on the last day, and there are still 5 overs to bowl tonight if WA declare immediately.
