[legend166]

Well, I'll take the blame for that one guys.

 

[Phone]

and he's out. still selectors would be well pleased Smith & Quiney played lengthy innings

 

[alfy!]

Any one see that bit of confusion with a possible caught behind of Doolan? Strange stuff, especially without sound.

That link is working for me.

Cheers.

Maxwell really accelerating now, 3 fours in the first over after drinks. Good partnership this.

 

[aussie1st]

Maxwell sure is ruthless on anything near his hitting range. Doolan looks like a patient batsmen.

Off Philander, too, which is good going.

 

[Torz]

Shame I can't get the stream working, love watching Maxwell when he's going like this.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good stuff by Doolan and Maxwell here.

 

[alfy!]

Tahir just dropped an absolute sitter caught and bowled from Maxwell. Both lads now bought up their 50's.

 

[Gak Attack]

Doolan doing a Cowan and timing his run of form right if Ponting doesn't play the first Test. Although with their darling boy Smith making runs you could see him coming in if Punter doesn't get up.

 

[alfy!]

Maxwell gone, caught behind off Steyn. Good innings.

 

[aussie1st]

Nice little innings by Maxwell.

Paine coming in at 9? Sounds about right for someone with only one first class hundred.

But but but he's from Tassie and it's hard to make runs on that wicket.

Look at the current shield game down there.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Look at the current shield game down there.

Mate I'm obviously slightly tongue in cheek. Paine isn't a bad batsman. But it is more than possible to make runs at Bellreive. It can be sugar coated whatever way you like, but the facts of the matter are, Cowan has seven hundreds in forty innings at tassie, Bailey has seven in seventy innings, Wade has two in nine innings, Paine has none in thirty eight innings.

How about he makes a few somewhere else then?

 

[Dagger]

A lot more difficult away from the Adelaide Oval isn't it Hughesy

True, he never made runs and 100s for NSW. Ever.

He is. Very classical in that sense. His temperament is what I liked about him from the time he came on the first class scene. He would often play important little innings that would stop us from capitulating. Even when he wasn't making that many runs, he would come in and face a lot of balls and see of the new ball, or establish an important little partnership. He's always been handy, but now he is looking quite exciting. Hoping he can keep it up.

 

[BluesMan]

Let him get some games back, geez.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Tahir just dropped an absolute sitter caught and bowled from Maxwell. Both lads now bought up their 50's.

I'd wager all my earnings on Tahir dropping said catch because he'd have been thinking about what celebration to do rather than focus on the matter at hand.

Knob. Hope we give him no wickets all series.
