They didn't quite pass my weight though.

Indictment on both parties.

I seem to remember the Adelaide Test on India's last tour - they had a similar lead to this, and we then bowled them out for 36. I'd like a repeat, please.

I'd still struggle to see us chasing that down haha.

The pitch will settle down in this heat. Tomorrow and Monday should be the best days for batting.

Outfield is much quicker already today with the extra sun.

Did India get close?

Maybe if Marnus can find a bit of form, he might get to 3 .

I did read that if the Port gals don't win the flag, their punishment is having Ken coach them next season

I call him Minibus, because he's half a coach.

Brisbane Lions AFLW team trolling Adelaide ahead of tonight's prelim - seems that when Adelaide were about to enter the field before the match started, whoever was in charge of the music played Port's theme rather than the Crows

Bancroft 's form drop off this season should be studied. He no longer knows how to bat.

At least he's only making 1 mistake per innings.

Tough day for the South Australian AFLW Clubs

He might need some more sandpaper

This went in a very different direction.

Wonder how he'd go in the commentary box sitting alongside Davie

I'll never get the Hinkley hate
Before a ball was kicked last year, where did you think Port would finish?
Virtually no one had them top 4.
Kenny's biggest crime is getting a decent but not excellent side close enough that the fans think they can win.
The reason they keep losing the big games is because they are playing teams better than them!
Kenny develops players well, year on year has his team finish above the experts opinions yet every year they want to sack him.
It's not ridiculous as the sack Horse debacle at the Swans but still laughable

Not at all - the bloke has had 12 chances to get Port to a grand final, and he's failed every time. Nobody in the history of the game has coached more games at the same club without reaching a grand final - how many more chances should he get?

Fact is, he's a good minor round coach, but his game plan doesn't stand up in finals.
