Not the Redbacks anymore... in name anyway

[brucetiki]

There were heaps there

Not sure what you're talking about

Not 36k though. Would've been 30 tops. Level 5 of the Riverbank and Eastern Stands were about half full, and level 3/4 of the Western Stands were about 1/3 full.

Nothing against you, but most people aren't great judges of exact crowd numbers.

Can't remember us ever winning a T20 game in Sydney

Carey has given us a good chance & great finish by Wells including the biggest 6 of the year on the roof of the stand.

So happy we trusted him to play when we lost Dunk. Though thinking about it, him being in great form probably made the decision to let Dunk go much easier. Most runs in the BBL so far? Would be close anyway.

Can see Carey playing many years for Australia.

Agree.

Carey is the exact opposite of Wade as a keeper

 

[spenze]

Bloody good last 5 balls from Nesser and the Strikers go 2-0 after DABM called them early as wooden spoon favourites

Good?

Good?

Yep, Wade reminds me of the guy you play cricket with who volunteers to wicky when your regular keeper has the match off because he did it at primary school. I reckon he was a match or two away from getting a back stop.

And how many tests has he played?

22, we would have been better off bringing a wheelie bin out behind the stumps

 

[hey shorty]

Neser pulled that out of the fire, he takes wickets but gee he goes for a few runs. We should have been in no position to nearly lose that game.

Reckon Carey might play some ODI or T20 cricket as early as this summer, he's batting really well with largely normal shots.

They needed 23 off 7 balls - we should have closed it out better than that

Then wide - six - six

10 off 5, game on.

Very unlike Laughlin in particular. Siddle is not really a yorker bowler which I guess is why Head went for Neser. He would know him well by now and trust him. Good captain's call as it turned out though I had my heart in my mouth after his first ball.

 

[hey shorty]

I think Siddle would have gone the journey, but it would have been a bit of an ego hit for Sids.

I thought we fielded well too, particularly the running catches.

2 of the boundaries off Laughlin were lucky, but then we stupidly didn't play smart & let them back in.

Was strange Head bowled himself late in the game instead of Siddle who was bowling well.

We won, but it should never have been so tight.

Good death bowling by Nesser after his 1st ball.

Squeezing an over out of your 6th bowler at some stage gives you flexibility and options at the death.

Otherwise you are locked in.

Head usually can get through an over or two without too much damage. First ball was hilarious though.

Should have bowled himself earlier though.

John Howard would have been proud...

Ton on debut for Nielsen

Is that Tim's son?

Indeed it is, wicket keeper also.

Wonder if he holds his spot when Carey returns from the T20s. Lehmann with 83 too, and Mennie playing well has rescued us.

He should play for Dalton.
I know we have Head and Ferg coming back too, but the kid can bat.

Nice to have some depth and options
