wow....suddenly I don't feel so bad for when I was playing in the Yr10 cricket B team, and we got rammed out for only 32 runs...

[AndyP]

How would you like the figures Bracken has? 7 for 4.

NSW took 2 points from the match just after lunch.

Shield record ???? surely some record ???

No indian bookmakers in the crowd ????

No indian bookmakers in the crowd ????

No, just raw talent of the crow-eaters..

Not even John-the-Bookmaker can see value in paying that team to under-perform

second lowest score in pura-cup (sheffield shield) history.

SA also has the lowest score :P

.. what about those mighty Bulls though 'eh

What about Bichel saying there will be an investigation into the pitch a comment made before the fact.....Bracken got his wickets with yorkers......no pitch involved and PA Jaques 154 not out.....must be a lot to do with the pitch

Just like a QLDer to jump the gun

Go you MIGHTY BLUES

Did you see the highlights?
Looked like there was quite a bit of moisture there and it was swinging all over the place.

That said, 29 is a very dismal effort.

[Onewood]

Did'nt notice the moisture in the pitch but it must have dried out quick ALL OUT 29 against 2/233 it was very dismal

I only saw about 4 wickets on the highlights on Channel Eddie, but there were two bowleds (one where a left hander chose not to play at it), an LBW, and a bat pad.

No comments on the pitch in the baggy green report either.

who's on top of the ladder mate ...... BY MILES :P

[Fishman Dan]

We've had 2 consecutive days on, or around, the 40* mark, and today was overcast all day and humid as heck. There would still be residual heat in the pitch, and there'd be some dampness. Swingers delight.

Hmm, moist track? Swingers?

Just checked - Jacques has 150 of 233, not a bad knock at all! He's a great talent, as is Thornely - with atleast a full day to bat perhaps we could see a rare double - 2nd Lowest and 2nd Highest Pura Cup totals in the one match.

SA won the toss and batted
