Not the Redbacks anymore... in name anyway

Is Tom Whitney related to Mike?

I don't believe he is any relation to Mike.

Wrong again

Peirson only managed 94

Although their tail wagged too much

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

He's clearly rated by CA given his Aus A captaincy duties for a couple of years now and is putting together good form over a long period now, so why not?

I was at the game today. The captaincy of the SA side after taking the wicket of Ben McDermott was abysmal. Harris would have been having kittens I reckon watching that. So lucky to get 1st innings points thanks to Swepson being an absolute donkey. Barbecue'd Peirson solely because he didn't want to face McAndrew and then after almost getting Qld home thanks to a cameo from Whitney, tries to guide Agar over the keeper and only manages to nick it.

Unfortuantely they got rid of first innings points a few years ago

The new points system from CA website is.....

Teams get six points for an outright win, one point for a draw, plus 0.01 of a bonus point for every run over 200 they score during the first 100 overs of their first innings (ie: 350 after 100 overs nets you 1.5 bonus points) and 0.1 of a bonus point for every wicket a team takes during the first 100 overs of their opponent's first innings (ie: 10 wickets before 100 first-innings overs elapses nets you 1 point).

So the points breakdown from this game so far are

SA
1.14 points batting
1.0 points bowling

QLD
1.08 points batting
.9 points bowling

Marnus bowling absolute pies and has apparently been annoyed with the commentators taking the piss out of him all match . Mate, go back to bowling leg spinners or simply just back in your actual bowlers like Swepson. Thankfully he ain’t the captain for Aus so there’s no chance we see these pies for more than a couple of overs this Summer!

Thankfully we haven't collapsed in the 2nd innings.

I'm guessing we'll declare at stumps and send QLD in tomorrow needing around 350.

If we make it to stumps

If we make it to stumps

Another 4-5 overs, get Carey to his ton and then declare.

Well he did it quicker than that.

 

[jackster83]

Well he did it quicker than that.

There's something about the name Carey and going hard through the 90's lol.

Barring Labuschagne and Khawaja putting on a clinic we might actually be well placed to get an outright in this, we've definitely batted well in the 2nd innings.

Hopefully the wicket on day 4 will favour the bowers a bit more.

Shoving up those interstate who want him replaced.

Should be our 1st choice Test & ODI keeper.

Inglis for T20's.
