45HG

This is what the sane have been arguing for possibly a year now. You don't always bowl, but you certainly bowl when conditions suit.

I reckon my analysis quite a few pages back did the job very well, especially considering I've seen no stats or information to support your stance - aside, of course, from stating that some Waugh and Taylor teams couldn't chase in the fourth innings. I'll give you some more info: Australia have won the toss and batted 295 times for 145 wins - 49%. Australia have won the toss and bowled 77 times for 40 wins - 51%. Game. Set. Match.

And in the fourth dig we scored 230 with a sub par score. If 230 is sub par in the fourth, and 150 is good in the first, how the hell do you figure that it was easier to bat in the first innings?

How many times?

150 on day one was a good score, 233 in the first innings was much harder batting than day one? Surely you're joking. That doesn't make sense at primary school level - possibly earlier.

Vics are dominating. 8-93 in the first dig. 53 of 136 in our first innings, including the highest partnership of the innings. 5-95 and still rocking in the third innings. No doubt they'll be required to make some runs later too.

Non-event. Does this count for Friday night's final team selections, however? Could be a massive shake up to Supercoach!

774 were just talking about this. Open with Siddle or Pattinson to shield Hughes. Maybe bat Hughes at 9 or 10 in the first innings because of his rubbish average. Good stuff.

Is that now 22 from 31?

How about those Vics. Memories of India West Indies a few weeks ago. Dropped catch, missed run out, 2 needed off the last ball only to get one. Set the Q'landers 400 - 9-399 at stumps day 4. I only just found this out today, but for anyone else who's interested and didn't know, you can stream shield cricket off of www.cricket.com.au

There goes 10!

Says a lot.

Do you even try to use capitals properly?

India - West Indies. What a riveting finish. Only the second time the scores have ended up equal for it to be a draw.

Caro is, as she usually is when it comes to off-field issues, on the money.

Pat Cummins. Ripping prospect.

Who's giving him the bananas though?

I don't think that you were in any position to disclose that information.

Quite dodgy circumstances.

Let's not forget that Northern Premier League Division One South is division 8 in the English system. It'd be difficult to work out the equivalent in footy terms, but possibly the TAC cup? But yes. We are not the oldest.

Huh? Squeezed out?

I agree.

Shannon Grant against the Pies anyone? (Rubbish, rubbish umpiring aside)

29 for 299 in 92 overs. 2 for 364 from 74 overs. Cricket is a crazy game.
