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)

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
