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.

    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)

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
