Shouldn't be too hard - a match yesterday at the Adelaide oval

    what is happening with the 20 20 match today?

    QLD 4/110 (9 overs) NSW 7/53 (8 Overs)

    only get score updates

    NSW - Homebush interrupted by rain again *sigh* - typical Sydney weather.

    Reduced overs, looks as though the Bulls have done it easy.

    The Redbacks are already in the final, and it will more than likely the Bulls or Warriors for the Prelim.

    How do you figure that HT? Doesn't a win get us into the prelim?

    We need a BIG win over Tassie. We have a very poor Net Run rate thanks to the big loss at the hands of SA.

    That's why I stated "more than likely".

    It's possible, but we need a massive win on Friday.

    edit: also the Warriors and Bulls play each other so who ever losses and Vics win it will come down to run rate. Vics are well into the negative though.

    VICS still a minor chance

    Put it this way, a win over tassie like SA had over the Vics will give us a chance for the Prelim.

    It'd put us on 6 points - two clear of the loser

    Apologies...I thought I saw on table on fox cricket after the match, both warriors & bulls on 6 points, so I gather they've both had 2 wins - as the Vics have.

    We have to win then.

    edit: Saw the table again since. They are both on 4 points with Vics on 4 points, confirming that the Vics are a better chance than I first thought.

    Must have been hallucinating.

    2/52 with both Aussie openers out after winning the toss and batting.

    Why is Clarke coming in after M. Hussey ? Strange.

    Shouldn't Hauritz come in before Clarke to protrect him from the new ball?

    What is there to protect ?

    His back ?

    His Aston Martin ?

    I was being sarcastic over the Melb test when he squibbed the final overs on day 1 of a Test match.

    His alleged fiancee *cough* can look after the Aston Martin. Its not good having a bingle around such a fine car.

    Indeed. Leaving the keys in the car. I suppose we could forgive her, being blonde and all..

    Or if she had allowed someone access to the keys.......... Hmmm ;)

    On a better topic, Punter gets a ton and the owner of the Top Gear Toy is getting close.

    3/226 of 61 overs. Pitch is a belter. We need to bowl well to get 20 wickets.

    Or Pakistan need to bat like...Pakistan

    Batting well the skipper and 007.

    I'd really like to see them bat on and make "BIG" (sorry 45h16) scores. It's about time Punter got a double century.

    edit: -

    8 runs from the 200 partnership.

    Good to see Punter sent his Baggy Green in for a Service :lol: Like a classic old car it needed some TLC!

    England win the toss and chose to bat only to be humbled by Morkel and Steyn, with the latter taking 5-51, for 180. Steyn now has a five-for against all test playing nations.

    Strauss becomes the first Englishman to go first ball in a test for 73 years!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
