It's criminal that the women play so little long form cricket. Ellyse Perry for instance has played 13 Tests in 16 years.

You've got to hand it to them, they dragged it back well after that opening 10 overs, although they had some help from the Thunder batsmen it has to be said. And when Owen went beserk, well that was pretty much game over after the first 7 or 8 overs of the Hurricanes innings, before we knew it...

I was wondering how last night's event would have gone in the new stadium. Was there enough interest in the final locally for it to have sold out there as well?

Clive Rice was definitely a "what if" regarding Test cricket - SA's isolation cost him unfortunately. 26331 f-c runs at 40.95, 48*100, 137*50 930 wickets @ 22.49, 23*5w, 1*10w Procter's another, he only played 7 Tests. F-C batting average of 36.01, bowling average 19.53.

At f-c level, Richie Benaud was definitely a genuine all-rounder. 11,719 runs @ 36.50 with 23 hundreds & 61 fifties 945 wickets @ 24.73 with 56 fivefors and 9 tenfors To round it off he averaged nearly just under a catch a game (254 catches in 259 games) Unfortunately, his f-c batting record...

Plus the girls have won three WNCL titles on the trot.......

I'm not a big 20/20 fan, but I'm a very proud Tasmanian, so tonight has been a great night. They've gone from the Horridcanes (after that first game debacle) to the Hurrahcanes in the space of a season. Well done!

How's Gannon's luck? Gets signed late in the season and ends up with a winners medal.

Thoughts on candidates for MOTM? :) :)

Equally remarkably, the Test record for highest percentage in a completed innings was set in the very first Test and still stands to this day, 67.34%. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-australia-1876-77-61716/australia-vs-england-1st-test-62396/full-scorecard

Here's the f-c record, 83.43%. It's a remarkable scorecard. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/schweppes-county-championship-1977-460871/glamorgan-vs-worcestershire-529367/full-scorecard

I can tell you what it is at f-c level if that is of interest to you. :)

You struggle to recognize sarcasm?

That probably went 80m up as well as 80m long.

Jewell is such a disappointment, he could have hit that ball anywhere. And Chaudhary, dumb as dogshit batting.

Jewell hits a 4, I forgot there was another batter out there.

He can become Cricket Tasmania's major sponsor.

Born in Hobart I think.

Thunder looking sloppy in the field.

0/62 off three overs. Jesus.

Meredith/Ellis - 8 overs, 6/50 The rest - 12 overs, 0/131

That's an outstanding spell from Ellis.

Tassie had a very famous win against the Vics at York Park in 1960 as well.

That dismissal looked fairly conclusive. :)

Thunder's running between the wickets has been outstanding, it's killed us to be honest.

Yeah, good point. I didn't even think about basketball. If we are talking that then, we could even go back to Launceston Casino City winning the NBL in 1981. That was a massive achievement.

Good to know he reads Big Footy. :D:D

Three shields. The first Shield win is up there for significant days in Tassie sport too. For me that first Gillette Cup win was the biggest cricket day for Tassie though, as we were still true cricketing minnows at the time (we weren't even full members of the Shield comp) and I don't think...

It didn't take long for the hyperbole to come out in the pre-match build up. "Biggest day in Tasmanian sport" they said. Maybe - although in cricket alone I'd argue the 78-79 Gillette Cup final win against WA in front of a packed TCA ground in Hobart would be up there. That was an amazing day...

That's the problem with home teams preparing tracks designed for their spinners - visiting teams have spinners too. And you are banking on your spinners and batsmen outperforming their visiting counterparts. And it doesn't always work out that way. As they say in the classics - if anyone can...
