Just heard as well. I feel sick. Heartbreaking. Sparing a thought for Sean Abbott as well.

There are no words that can suitably describe that effort from Rhino. If anyone stayed up to watch it, I am extremely jealous.

He shouldn't really need to. He's toughed it out for years with a bad back to become one of the best batsmen and captains in the world. People are going to hate him because he has made them look stu

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.

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.

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

Ah yes.

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.

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.

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!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
