[Mike Hussey]

Great, NSW of to a great start, in both forms of the game, looks like the start of a new, young era.

Brad Williams has a wicket, though.

But it's only Manou. Cosgrove is the one that they want

At this rate, he'll carry his bat. 4/78 - should be a chasable target, I suppose North will have to bowl a bit.

D'oh. Spoke too soon, didn't I?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

D'oh. Spoke too soon, didn't I?

On the bright side, Cosgrove is still in and Williams only has three overs left to bowl.

On the bright side, Cosgrove is still in and Williams only has three overs left to bowl.

And Cosgrove is STILL in now.

But needs to get a move on, I reckon Redbacks need another 120 runs minimum from here.

What was that about speaking too soon?

Good signs for Cosgrove though, he looks an impressive one day player.

Bah. I am gonna shut up now. Stoopid Cosgrove.

But I reckon Cosgrove will be playing ODI's for Australia soon....

 

[Nate]

Dorey looked awesome IMO. Hopefully Dizzy can back up his great beatting effort.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, Dorey's a huge talent. I can't believe he was as old as he was when he made his debut.

Anyway, good signs in that first over from Gillespie. He was a bit wayward, but he got some movement off the seam, which is something I haven't seen from him since the tour of India really.

 

[aussie]

good to hear Dizzy's looking good, btw how old is ths Dorey Fellow sean?

 

[Nate]

I actually think Dizzy is swinging it a bit.

 

[Mike Hussey]

SA have a good chance here, WA are 3/62, Hussey is the key now.

 

[SquidAU]

Bah. Redbacks threw it away. Didn't want to win it.

Greg Mail is uesless, he shouldn't make the NSW 2nd XI. When they had all the Test players at the start of the season, they played five bowlers with Stuart Clark as the extra bowler. So i would open with Phelps and bring Clark in a nine and move Bracken and Lee up one. There is also a certain Greame Thorpe around Sydney Grade Cricket...

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Definately NSW for mine.

well thats an option, but i would rather if the Blues played the extra batsman in O'Brien, Lambert or Thorpe in place of Mail instead of going for the extra bowler in Clark...
