PURA CUP FINAL: Tasmania v New South Wales @ Bellerive (Mon 19th-Fri 23rd March)

[likka]

NSW will get the best of the batting conditions on days 2 and 3 and should get 400-500. Vitally important for the Tassie Devils to get to 350 tomorrow morning and get a couple of early breakthroughs with the new ball.

I reckon batting last on this pitch will be tricky too.

 

[jezza]

Great comeback, really need to go on with it though, 350 needed minimum.


Some absolute idiots on the hill today, kept giving it to Bollinger over and over who responded by taking wickets, over and over. Nice one boys, doing your state proud.

If we can push on over 400. Thats only 117 runs away. Wright is good enougth to make plenty more and butterworth can make more.

Day 3 could see showers. Tassie just need to bat for as long as possible and keep the score going up.

Yeah well Bollinger is a bit of a stooge.

"Butterworth, 28, was just as impressive, striking five fours to equal his highest first-class score in his fifth - but most important - game for Tasmania".

GREAT REPORTING THERE - hope you guys pick up on the rather large error.

Looking at the scorecard, it is very frustrating to see how many players made a start and didn't go on with it.

Not the first time we have done that this season IIRC.

Yeah, he recently turned 29.

A couple of pics I took yesterday (I need a camera with a better zoom):

EDIT: Alright, can someone please tell me how to post images off my computer that don't have a URL?

P.S. Wright just dropped.

You could upload them to a photo sharing site (ie Flickr) and then link to the subsequent URLs.

Make sure you resample them before posting though, no point in posting 2MB image links.

Wright out for 67.

8/298 Butterworth 45*

 

[kenrosewall]

Sounds like Butterworth has smashed one at Jacques- potential arm injury.

By the sounds of it doesn't sound good for NSW

 

[Vedder]

Yeh Jacques copped a full blooded shot fielding at short leg, copped it on the wrist, looked pretty painful..

Tassie 300 up

Does not look good, swelled straight up and left the ground.

 

[kenrosewall]

Thanks likka- I'll try and post them now:

 

[ViperV10]

ABC radio just reported Jaques still at the ground, arm being iced.

Hasn't been taken for X-rays yet. Although, if it is being iced you would suspect it isn't broken...it would sting like a bitch if you did.

Thanks likka- I'll try and post them now:

If you drop the ?v=0 off the image URLs they will embed properly.

 

[kenrosewall]

Doesn't seem to work properly- oh well.

ABC Radio just gave an update on Phi Jacques. He apparently is still at the ground and they are icing it. May still take him to hospital as a precautionary measure.

Thanks mate- looks like it has worked now.

 

[likka]

No probs.

Pitch seems to be flattening right out.

NSW must be desperate to get the final two wickets and make hay whilst the sun is shining.

Good work Ken

Hmm make it to 350 and we can certainly call it a successful innings considering the start.
