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!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
