Franger Cup 2007/2008

Sozzies cruising...

Losing to the Barrels. How embarrassment!

Indeed.

That mob should be called the Effies.

Well that was pretty ******.

A 250 run JAMODD partnership by by 40 year old Sozzie has beens.

How low can the Wozzies sink?

Aye, they gave him some tap. He just didn't know where to land it at various points in each of his spells. Great swansong for the HFRC, and Elliot batted brilliantly as well.

But what a pie of a wicket. That Sandy Grade player Zimbot Irvine could even smoke a fast unbeaten 130 odd. God, I hope that's not what gets served up for the Adelaide Test. Otherwise it'll be Adelaide Ashes 06/07 all over - except without the last day genius of Warnie, i.e. a very high scoring bore draw.

It was the flattest deck I have ever seen.

I reckon if you see a track like that in good weather you have to chase if you win the toss.

At least that way you know the target.

I assume Voges won the toss?

now that even mumu is saying magoo has past his best, it was particularly poor timing of Piggsy to be carted all over by two superannuants

A more likely scenario would be a reapeat of the India Test of 03-04 when Australia lost after making 550 in their first innings.

ODD Qld v VIC.

A few showers increasing to thundery rain.

Radar shows weather coming from Lismore direction which is due south. Not good.

Looks like a shortened game at best especially with the late start.

Pity.

erm...i believe it is Vix v the bills, not chips v spivs

Thanks the Vics have only been here 5 bloody days and I get it wrong.

Anyway here is an updated forecast that looks a bit bettter.

Forecast for Friday
Cloudy with a few showers about, tending to rain at times tonight. Light to

Precis: Few showers. Late rain.

Qld 5/193

It's pouring at my place at the moment. I'm about 50 minutes drive south of the Gabba.

Vomits are struggling big time to chase down the Banjos modest 243, currently 5-116 after 32nd over with SHYTYT retired hurt.

Off topic but I am currently watching an old JAMODI match between the Saffies and OZzies in Sydney in 93/4.

I was enjoying seeing Billy bowl, was amazed to see a young MtFTB score 20 off 69 balls and of course the might AB just before he called it quits.

Then TGM came on to bowl and I have to admit I was close to tears.

Aye JGK, I watched the same replay. Amazing how 230 made by Aus was so competitive and difficult to get. The game has changed a lot in 14 years or so.

Stoopid Vics! No wonder we have 0 International representatives.

That's still too many

I don't get why Victoria can't field a decent side. I't the second biggest state populationwise and facility wise may be the biggest. Take the talent in Qld and NSW when they put their A team on the paddock.

WA keep producing talent also and usually play above their weight but Victoria are not pulling their weight yet in AFL they are tops in the production line.

Kumar Sarna will do Victoria proud in the next few years. Great talent.

Maybe they should import a few youngsters like Hughes.

Then there's the weather.

Surely they don't need any NZ players?

Blues choose Hughes for Pura Cup debut

Phillip Hughes is set to become New South Wales' second-youngest first-class debutant in 30 years after being named in their Pura Cup side to take on Tasmania in Sydney starting next Tuesday. Hughes will be aged 18 years and 355 days on Tuesday - 111 days older than Michael Clarke when he debuted for the Blues in 1999.

A left-hand batsman, Hughes starred in the four-match Australia Under-19 series against Pakistan Under-19 in Queensland in April, striking 101, 101, 48 not out and 74. He was also one of Australia's top batsmen at the Emerging Players Tournament this year and made 51 and 137 for the New South Wales Second XI against the Victoria Second XI this week.

"I'm delighted to be selected for the first time," Hughes said. "I've been working extremely hard on my batting and this is a tremendous opportunity for me. I'm looking forward to training with my team-mates and preparing for this match."

Hughes has replaced Nathan Hauritz in the Blues' 12-man squad, while Tasmania have included Nathan Wegman in place of the injured Adam Griffith. Wegman, 30, made his one-day debut for Tasmania this month and starred with 4 for 44 with his right-arm fast-medium bowling.

The Tigers have also named their FR Cup squad to take on the Blues following the Pura Cup match. Ricky Ponting is expected to play in that game, with Australia's Test commitments finishing early next week.

Nice article . . .　but wasn't that game played last week with Hughes scoring a debut 50? Why post it now?
