Our bowlers so far making the most of a pitch with some help, hopefully continues. 

 

 

2 days to get a result means that any number of combinations of re-jigging of the match is possible ... even down to a 20 over match

But it's advantage Australia with the South Africans being 4/44 off 14 overs ... even with the D/L method.  They don't get to start again 

Right now, we hold the upper hand and play is possible until about 4am today (and then all day tomorrow)

Maybe so but I reckon any change to the format which if play resumes will be certain will help SA.

Ha ha!  How?  

We've got 'em on the ropes Deevs - you worry too much!

I’ve been at banner but have been keeping abreast of the scores. Not much to say… SA in all sorts. But…

I never saw the very beginning of Maxi’s innings vs Afghanistan ‘til now. I didn’t know Azmat was on a hat-trick when Maxi came to the crease. Maxi was lucky not to have been caught behind without scoring a single run. He’s amazing, is our Maxi. And he’s a Victorian! 😁

Macca’s right, Deeves. You can relax, we’ve got this.

If I recall correctly, 'Cowboy from Hell' started a thread here in 2013 with the now infamous catch-cry of 'Relax, we've got this' 

The team?  The Eagles.  The venue?  MCG

We lost by 15 goals!! haha

But I'm quietly confident as South Africa have to keep wickets intact which should curtail their scoring rate somewhat

How good has Hazlewood bowled!?

Yeah, you give him a track with a modicum of assistance and he is in his element

Top class seam bowler 

I reckon one of the reasons that England prepared so many flat decks in the Ashes was that they were very worried about Hazlewood

I've been watching Ashes series from England since the mid 70's and usually, we get at least 3 or 4 seaming decks per series

None in 2023

My thoughts was and I may be wrong is the D.L. model will project out a number of overs that S.A may not have even actually faced being at four down already.

Whately* on radio just said that the reserve day is when the conditions of the match can change

In other words, they keep playing today to 50 overs each innings even if they know they're going to run out of time (today only) 

 

*The game is being broadcast on SEN


Travis Head, you beauty!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
