Not the Redbacks anymore... in name anyway

[Cromulant]

Doggett’s performance was really out of the box has not really produced anything close to that for SA at least for a while and Cricket Australia refuses to let Johnson play 4 day cricket it seems. Buckingham will be a huge loss as it means Agar, Conway or Thornton has to play that 3rd seamer role and neither are close to Buckingham’s quality in red & white ball.

We'll be fine. 1 bowler doesn't make a squad


It's our batting that often (always) let's us down.

We have the Vics on the backfoot atm 4-77

Manetti the destroyer ATM.

Probably will be his only wickets for the season

Harper this time keeping their innings alive, why can’t we get keepers out??

You didn’t even jinx us this time DABM!!

Konstas 16
Harris 36
Bancroft 16
McSweeney 22*

C'mon Nathan! Put the test spot beyond doubt

7/195.....

This is weird watching SA not completely suck

And without some of our better players too.

Who knew it was the Redbacks moniker holding us back all this time

So we agree claiming McSweeney if he makes the test team, right?

Like Lyon, it's where you are playing when you make the Australian team.

Manenti with a 5fa and an absolute one handed screamer in slips! Ended up with 2 slips catches too, so involved in 7 of the wickets

He's capable of these sorts of games once or twice a season.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

232 all out, so a lead of 75

Hopefully can score reasonably quickly in our 2nd innings. We've got two spinners on a Day 4 pitch so is set up for us. Need to give them time + runs

Early days of course but it's been pleasure to see us string some decent games together

Finished 88* and hit the winning runs for Aus A.

He's put his name in calculations.

Probably needs to open in the next game, mind you he effectively did in this match

Lehmann is 8*

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Redbacks playing this perfectly. Ticking along at a decent clip.

3/152 from 40 overs, leading by 227

Lehmann 45*, continuing his solid form of late...

A shame it's not hotter today. Want the pitch to start drying out and breaking up

 

[Crow-eater]

Manenti 60*(69) as we barrel towards a 350 run lead

EDIT: Declared with a 345 run lead.

 

[Firewalker]

SACA’s hopefully don’t waste the now seemingly annual time in a season where Ben Menenti sheds his usual skin and turns into the right-handed Gary Sobers. Looking at the scorecard from this morning they’re basically just hoping he can do it all himself.

At least with Chandrasinghe out there for the Vics you know you probably can’t lose the match

[jackster83]

And what a delivery to knock over Sutherland.
