[RoosterLad]

Marsh and Clinger are going along nicely now.

5/155

Both batsmen are on 28.

 

[ShearMagic9]

Handy partnership this one.

 

[RoosterLad]

6/173 at Tea


57.2 Bollinger to Clingeleffer, OUT, edges a good one from big Bolly to first slip and that's Tea
SG Clingeleffer c Thornely b Bollinger 41 (106m 97b 5x4 0x6) SR: 42.26

 

[PHX]

****. Once again, starting to revive a bit and there goes another wicket . . .

 

[My North]

Go the Tassie boys.

 

[RoosterLad]

Doug has 5/35 with Marsh out

7/191, Tassie in big trouble now

 

[Vedder]

Yep we are in huge strife unless tailend miracle happens..

Is Darren Berry the Australian version of Tony Greig? = tosser

 

[Benny_]

Both these guys can bat. We will still hack out 300+.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Tassie must get to stumps with wickets in hand. This reminds me of last year - Victoria made it to stumps with 7 out for about 250 and they were bowled out in the first session. The rest is history. NSW are on top at the moment.

 

[Zeke]

Tasmania 228/7 (75.5 ov)

Tigers clawing back.

 

[Vedder]

Yep with new ball due shortly we have to, hopefully, have Wrighty and Butters there at stumps..

Thesr 2 are doing ok for us so far (knock on wood).

 

[Zeke]

7/300 by stumps is not out of the question.

 

[Bugz]

Lambert to Wright, 1 run, ordinary shot, the footwork of a drunk Muppet..

Who is this guy?

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Too many tassie fans around here, or jealous Victorians lol. Carn the Blues!!

 

[jko'neal]

250 up for Tassie great effort from where they were earlier in the day, Katich has helped by setting some strange fields. Get the feeling if the Tassie bowlers had NSW 5 for 90 odd they would have ran through the rest.

But, they didn't.

 

[Vedder]

Great 50 from Wrighty, crucial knock

 

[Vedder]

Oh man that was a close shout on the last ball of the day..

Pretty happy to be where we are at now when 200 was looking doubtful..Tail wagged nicely

Good comeback Tassie

Well done Wrighty and Luke Butterworth

 

[RoosterLad]

Great fightback by Tassie, a wicket on the last ball could have changed it but now they have to come out tomorrow and surge past 300.

 

[Marklar_33]

Strong position now that we lasted the first day, struck that psychologial blow, and ate away at crucial NSW wicket-taking time!

Be nice to bat until lunch tomorrow, and then let Hilfy and Griff loose on an inexperienced NSW batting line-up

One of my bosses was trying to encourage me to pull a sickie and go down and watch with him tomorrow haha, still undecided!

 

[Vedder]

He's a boss and wants you to chuck a sickie..Thats one of the easiest decisions you will ever have to make lol.

 

[sherb]

Do it!

That is a wonderful comeback from 5/94, it would be lovely to get to 350 tomorrow. Either way at least there is a workable total in place now, which would hardly have been the case if we had been rolled for 150 odd.

 

[RoosterLad]

Plus he might dip into the petty cash and buy you beers all day.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Good fightback by Tassie - honours even at stumps. First session is crucial - if the tail continues and gets around 350 or more, it will be a competitve total. What worries Tassie is the pitch got better during the day so it could be great for batting over day 2 and 3.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Good fight back.

Hopefully Wrighty and Butters can guide us to a lead of about 320, then let Hilfy and Griffith let rip.
