Has any playa been watching the TAS/QLD game? Is the wicket as tricky as most of the scores indicate? (thus giving me more of an excuse to push the barrow of my boi D00lan)

 

[Spikey]

i think it's just that QLD can't bat

 

[Spikey]

i mean, if Wells is scoring runs..

 

[Spikey]

hey Riggins, which ground is most likely to host the final if SA get it and they can't use Adl

 

[Riggins]

Probably Gliderol Stadium (Glenelg oval)

such an absolute joke that there's never gonna be a shield final at adelaide oval again. man.

 

[Riggins]

they've played a few of the futures games there this year, one at prospect oval.

glenelg historically been pretty low and slow, breaking up plenty even by the last session on day one. the last 2 (i think) years its been taken over by new ground staff it's gotten a lot better, bit more true bounce and consistency. outfield not great, nice cafe on the boundary though.

Can anyone actually answer this question?

 

[Spikey]

i mean, you'd like to think that could put off ripping up the ground for a week or two


(also you'd like to think SA won't win hosting rights)

 

[Riggins]

i flicked it on before and it looked fine, colour wise and the few balls i watched didn't look crazy. who knows though, probably just some swing early and a runout don't help.

 

[Riggins]

you would think so.. but no. and never again.

 

[Top_Cat]

mennies bowling trash here

haha, you've been waiting several games to say that, eh.

Geez, what a time to have an off day, though, against the (basically) bottom team with top spot on the line. Goddamn blow-ins.

 

[Spikey]

come on the tie!

 

[Riggins]

wait when we lose this do we still get the 2 first innings points?

how many points for a tie?

Yeah, remember slow and low being the norm. Don't mind that at all for this SA team.

you get two if you lose outright. 3 each if it's a tie. first innings not added on to the 3 if it's a tie

 

[Top_Cat]

Sayers giving them nothing, looks an entirely different bowler when compared to before this season.

 

[Top_Cat]

Tea coming up very soon, with 9 down do they take it or is it one of those extra half-hour dealies?

EDIT: This game really feels like a loss for SA at this point....

 

[Spikey]

don't see why the half hour wouldn't be taken

 

[Top_Cat]

Mennie vs Hogan is a good move,

 

[Spikey]

uh oh. hand claps!
