Shouldn't be too hard - a match yesterday at the Adelaide oval

    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!

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
