Pura Cup 2007/2008 (II)

[JGK]

Test if this is post 991 for the thread.

[LeFromage]

It let the other thread bloat to around 1100 before cutting it off back at the 990 mark.

This thread has got another day or so, I reckon...

[horace]

could be right...nice that cricket is overtaking the election (esp if the tories get returned)

[JGK]

2 more early wickets to Bubbly today.


He now has 12 of the 16 to fall.

Bollinger FFS!

There is certainly some crazy matchs in this seasons Pura Cup.

[JGK]

Ton for Butters. Tozzies holding on well with rain looking likely.

[PearlJ]

Great ton from Butters. He came in at 4-11 and scored a ton. Very good.

[Fred Nerk]

Effies 1-17 v SA in Addledville. New boy Davis out to Gillespie, possibly spooked by Dizzy's uncanny resemblance to tennis head-case Goran Ivanecivic.

[skully]

Tozzies 8-252, still trailing by 46.

[horace]

rain rain rain...

Too late horrie. Ferny gets two quick ones after lunch and it's all over. Mighty Spivs extract some revenge and win by an innings and 35 runs.

rats...tozzies clearly need practice against pie throwing lefties...still the revenge gained by the spivs is small beer against the abject humiliation they suffered in the final

Cricket Australia has ordered Shaun Tait to rest from South Australia's Pura Cup match starting on Friday as he continues to recover from an elbow injury. Tait played in the Redbacks' one-day win over Western Australia on Wednesday, taking 2 for 50, but Australia are concerned that too much bowling could delay his progress.

"Cricket Australia do not believe that playing Shaun in back-to-back four-day domestic matches is in the best interests of his pending return to the Australian team," Mark Sorell, the South Australia coach said. "While we had hoped to play Shaun we are fully supportive of Cricket Australia's decision."

While Tait will not play in Darren Lehmann's farewell game against Western Australia at Adelaide Oval, he might be considered for the match against Queensland, which starts in eight days' time. Sorell said the Redbacks understood the need for Tait to be handled carefully in the lead-up to Australia's Chappell-Hadlee Trophy games in December and the Test series against India that follows.

Tait had surgery on his right elbow in June and his recovery has been much slower than anticipated. He has played only one Pura Cup match this season and had been targeting an international comeback in the Chappell-Hadlee Series.

South Australia squad Matthew Elliott, Callum Ferguson, Mark Cosgrove, Nathan Adcok (capt), Darren Lehmann, Andy Delmont, Graham Manou (wk), Ryan Harris, Jason Gillespie, Cullen Bailey, Dan Cullen.

Western Australia squad Justin Langer, Chris Rogers, Adam Voges (capt), Liam Davis, Luke Ronchi (wk), Theo Doropoulos, Brad Hogg, Darren Wates, Aaron Heal, Steve Magoffin, Ben Edmondson, Mathew Inness.

FFS ....They can't be considering him to play against the subis....

[Ross]

Aye, if he can't handle back-to-back Shield games then HTF is he going to handle two Tests in a row.

Indeed horrie, but ya gotta start somewhere. And an innings victory is a good start.
