Trengove

The pitch was absolutely pathetic. Ive seen roadkill with more life than that wicket had by the end of the match. Warner and Hughes were exceptional, perhaps the Vics could have bowled at the stumps a bit more, but every match this tournament 110 in the opening innings has been enough to win the match. NSW making 169 was astonishing. Having Lee, Clark and Bollinger in your side - 3 of the countries top 10 pace bowlers - and yet opening the bowling with Hauritz just shows how dead the wicket was.

Well done to Davey, well deserved +1 http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=878594 An article on Jimmy Stynes' speech

i like the 24 fit for Jurrah

Saw a short snippet of Jimmy on the Channel 9 news; he looks fantastic, in such a positive mind set and great spirit - what a marvelous man

Pats on the back all round for breaking into 5 digits so early! We havnt even had our B&F yet lol

what went wrong was that we were due to play Freo at the G the next week edit: imo, our worst defeat came against the roos in round 1

yes thats correct

New Presidents member

Both meesen and garland have navicular injuries. I hope it hasnt been re-damaged and that they're just being overly cautious. :/

Excellent. Given our ladder position across the last few years we dont have much bargaining power, so if scwabba is happy with it we must be doing ok

Its only a rumor that Freddie might be playing for South Australia. I wouldnt rate it much more than a 50% chance that he will play in any Australian domestic team. If Murali pulls out i think its Dwayne Bravo (?) that the Vics have lined up. Someone of that ilk anyway. John Holland will get broken into it this summer i'd assume; he seems to be everybodys love child at the moment - but Hauritz has been dominating recently, so there is no way they will drop Hauritz for Holland. I wouldnt think he'd get a bowl at the Sydney test, but stranger things have happened.

To put it in a different perspective; Trident members sit on the flank, roughly where the 50m line meets the boundary line. The Presidents sit further around towards the wing, the last section of public seating before it becomes MCC zoning. (Almost underneath the radio commentary boxes). as far as i know the Presidents guest area is the same area as the Trident guest area, which is located inbetween the Trident and President seating (half way between the flank and the wing) Not sure; but as a Trident member i usually sit in the Redlegs reserved seating 'area' which is directly behind the goals in the southern stand - so i assume presidents can sit there as well if they choose. Uhm, essentially the only other difference between Trident and President membership is that Presidents can visit the change rooms for 1 match and attend a luncheon thing for presidents members. Im trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to President level too - i think i will just for Jimmy.
