Cricket Part III

It’s the CA XI, I figured they were all accountants, are they not?

They can’t even count though. Not sure why they have referred to it as an XI given they are actually playing XII.

Next round of SS starts this Friday

If only CA had something to do with planning these tours!

Another quack for Callum Ferguson. Weatherald not got off to a great start this year either.

SA 2-24

NSW with the test attack 2-43 against Qld

SA collapse. Head out for 87 and McInerney 51 and the rest ■■■■-all. 8-175

Henriques 102* out of 4-196 NSW.

Did anyone see him on 7.30 last night? Recovering from severe depression.

I didn’t see the 7.30 report but there was a fascinating article in the Weekend Australian a couple of weeks ago regarding Henrique’s battle with depression. Has been in a bad place. Pleased to see him getting some runs.

Remember a while ago he posted a tweet then said it was hacked? Was it him or another cricketer?

NSW lost their last 6 wickets for 16 runs. Good to see batting collapses are not only a thing of the national team.

I thought NSW was the national team

Asfar as blowers are concerned.

All 6 Pom wickets so far have fallen to the sweep.

6-269 with Root on 104

So 7 wickets sweeping now with Root?

Rapt to see Root get a ton. Go on with it son.

Ridiculous reviews by both sides, particularly by Stokes, saw Moeen and Rashid gives out to shockers.

Curran got out first ball to a ball that just glanced off-stump.

And Dickwella should be completely ignored when asking for a reviews. Worst appealer ever. Lankan commentator said”Dickwella definitely heard something”. I’m thinking “you reckon?”. RTS line was completely flat…not a flicker.

Been a great test match so far. Plenty in it for the bowlers, enough there for the batsmen if they are good enough. Glad to see Root get a ton, played a great captains knock when we needed it most

If we can somehow get a lead of 300 I am confident we can roll them in the 4th

That review by Stokes was a shocker

Tas 8/78
WA 5/89
Qld 5/98

And we wonder why our test side can’t make runs

Tas 9/81

Tremain 4/13
Boland 2/22 (marvellous figures, those)
PATTO 3/13
Siddle wicketless
Holland probably not going to be required just yet.

Only 28 overs in!!!

Is it a green top?

We’ll have to see how the Vics go on this wicket.

To be fair to QLD, literally facing a Test attack (and not a bad one at that).

NSW… Mozzie 152, noone else passed 30. Not ideal.
