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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
