The Cricket Thread (part 11) - from The Champing

benefit of the doubt given to South Australia, you mean. Had a very, _very_ good run with the umpiring.

Started 5/102, 10 runs scored, 83 still needed

Murphy flops his bat well outside off for no reason, caught behind

6/112

LOL Perry… putting your pad directly in front of the stumps doesn’t help if you don’t hit the ball with your bat.

7/112

oh dear

Cooked

hang on

i would have liked another camera angle on that front foot

Caught behind off a possible no-ball, again… ump says ā€œI’ll allow itā€ because vision from that one side is again obscured.

8/120

Boland will come in at #11 and save us, and you will LIKE it.

SA have retreated from three slips to one/two.

66 runs to go is probably too early for that.

IT’S BOLAND TIME.

This really has been pathetic.
The brittleness of Vic’s batting coming home to roost when it’s mattered most.

56 to go.

One slip, one gully, everyone else out.

They appear to be of the opinion that Boland is a bunny.

noball

When in reality Boland carried his bat and everyone else is a loser.

YESSSSSSSS!

Back to back

One partnership / some dodgy umpiring is all you need in a match where 200 is par.

Extremely disappointing! That’s an understatement. We made the running all season and fell at the last hurdle.

We really should have won. A dodgy pitch and we’re left wondering. What happened to the flat pitch for the home side?
