Cricket Part II

Ferg withhis usual second innings runs. 140no at stumps apparently

Mini Boof shooting right up in contention for the no.6

I reckon he should be given the chance. Can counterattack and is a good age.

Vics 3-160 with Handscomb about 60 and Finch 9.
Maxwell out for 64 lbw to Mennieā€¦looked a fair bit legside to me. No doubt Hawkeye would have had it cannoning into the very edge of leg stump. Mennie all 3.

WA 0-179 with Bancroft 84 and S Marsh 91

Marsh out for 91, Cartwright made a pair
Bancroft still to be dismissed in the game on 85

Handscomb out for 58, Finch and Christian on 32 and 24
4/206

2 hatricks in the game for Starc!
NSW win

Heā€™s done the Sorbent and cleaned up the tail.

Bowlers of his type can so often make love Greek style and f**k up the tail.

All six wickets were around the wicket with either a yorker or a fuller ball. They know whatā€™s coming but are powerless to stop it.

Good win by NSW, they need to cash in whilst the Oz reps are around and two outrights to start the season is obviously ideal.

England second innings falling apart. Just lost 4 / 3.

You can watch it live online.

Milenko tearing them up. Poms 7-125

Does it say more about M Starc or WA?

WAā€™s got all rounders from #3. Cartwright (albeit green) seems a legit top order bat, but MMarsh, Turner, Agar, Stoinis?

I will never understand this fascination with picking all rounders, as well as just as many tail enders as you normally would. Defeats the purpose.

Most fail the litmus test of being good enough to be picked solely in either discipline. The real all-rounders are a captainā€™s best asset, which is why England are leaving the door open for Stokes. If it were anybody else they would have already been ruled out.

Their middle order is meant to be their real strength as well. I realise no Stokes and Ali but Iā€™m still taking it as a good sign for Australia.

Just checked the score. Cricket aust xi are 7-51 in the chase. Ball must be moving all over the place, not a great advert for the pink ball game

The side they had in had 3 full time bats - coming in at 2, 6 and 7, Bancroft kept and opened the batting, 4 full time quicks and 3 all rounders.

Not sure what Mitch Marsh did to get the captaincy, but Iā€™d guess he gets a selectorā€™s spot with it. He really needs to be told heā€™s got the potential to be quite good as a bowler who bats a bit - not the other way around.

Ellyse Perry has scored a double century not out in the Ashes test match.

Super effort, not to mention opening the bowling with a 3 fa in the first dig.

The best cricketer, male or female, in the world.

NSW go into the match against QLD without the Oz pace trio and have QLD 4/111 - Renshaw (16) fails to pass 50 for the fifth time this season and his form is starting to become a worry, Khawaja on 47*.

Tassie stinking up the joint as usual and
Wade fails again with 5 whilst trying to pull Siddle through mid-wicket only to have his furniture disturbed.

Renshaw is a big worry, his confidence has fallen to drastic levels.

Sorry to see your absence didnā€™t endow you with any sense, pazza.

Best in Womenā€™s cricket by a mile Iā€™ll agree on but best in World cricket is taking it too far
