Pura Cup Final: New South Wales v Victoria @ Sydney (Sat-Wed)

[redragger]

NSW win the toss and bat. Did I just see Mark Waugh pump his fist? Have to restrict below 300 if any chance

surely u jest?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Just looking at that pitch, its day 3 already isn't it?

EDIT: Guess Nannes needed an over to warm up.

 

[redragger]

Hughes gone in 2nd over. Good catch by Dussey.

Didn't realise that cheating pr ick Rod Tucker was umpiring, that is a disgrace...

Nsw vs Victoria. Tough call

WOuld you rather a fork in the eye, or a glass to the face.

Good news for those without FOX- you don't have to use CA for updates- cricinfo has a ball by ball on the match

Does A New South Welshman rival a dutchman or a Frog for arrogance ?

Here we have Mark Waugh suggesting that MacGill should go to Windies with the Aussie team, and the second spinner should be the NSW No. 2 in Beau Casson ?

Do the other 5 states even exist in their minds ?

Let's do a little comparison shall we

McGain v Casson Pura Cup this year

Casson (8, 25 @ 35)
McGain (10, 35 @ 33)

When you factor in that Casson is 10 years younger, averages 24 with the bat (vs Bryce's 13) I have heard worse suggestions.

 

[thepower]

solid start from the blues!!

incidentally B&H world series game on now, m waugh comes into bat. aust 3/25 off 10 overs. great run rate!

anyway m waugh, is he just mucking around with casson? gotta be!

selectors may go with that but as cousin jed said he is younger than mcgain.

so go with this.

is player from nsw young? yes? select him, reason being look to future
is player from nsw older? yes? select him, reason being need experience

WTF. I've never heard that. The Dutch are too stoned to be arrogant (i'm 1/4 dutch)

Bowling first on a dead pitch makes this really hard. We can win if we get them out for less than 400.

 

[Bernie Quinlan]

Hodge's dropped catch in the morning session costing the Vics big time at the moment.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Jaques is out lbw for 53.

 

[Romeo]

We need to get Clarke early!

 

[FordGTHO]

Good start by NSW ..the game is already starting to slip away from Victoria, they need wickets and fast.

The NSW bowling attack looks pretty potent .

 

[LongBomb]

Katich picked up by McGain!

 

[Cousin Jed]

Clarke out plumb LBW.

Looks like I was right the first time this is about a day 3 pitch. Will definitely get a result.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Vics back in it with those two wickets - they need to take 3-4 this session and get deep in the tail

 

[w00dy]

harwood just removed thornley, vics getting on top... great bowling from the victorian quicks... NSW have a long tale with casson at 7 now coming in...

 

[grimlock]

Need to get to at least 300.

 

[FordGTHO]

350+ would be a very competitive total on that pitch .

 

[NWTYRX]

Stumps - NSW 8/266
Katich 86
Haddin 63

Siddle 4/57

 

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

Are the vics take first day honours, Edward would be happy, bushranger is in the same boat.

 

[hujsh]

Very good finish
