    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
