Nah was genuinely interested. I felt he had been less effective since we haven’t seen much reverse in recent times.

I’m presuming he had a very good series against the Pakistanis Last summer? Yes he did, 14 wickets @17 at a SR of 32.4 and Economy of 3.14.
Took 15 wickets @17.86 at a SR of 35.9 and Economy of 2.98 against New Zealand aswell.

Pakistan v South Africa, first test in Karachi, South Africa's first test match in Pakistan in 14 years.
The match is being live streamed on the Pakistan Cricket YouTube channel.
SA currently 2/63.

Against Pakistan! Their fielding has been surprisingly good.

Ponting coaches the T20 doesn’t he?
He was the interim T20 coach in 2017 against Sri Lanka.

All I can find is the following:
Head Coach: Langer
Senior Asst: Andrew McDonald
Assistant: Matthew Mott
Batting: Trent Woodhill
Bowling: Troy Cooley
Fielding: Mike Young
Performance Coach: Den Oliver
Performance Analyst: Dene Hills
Physio: David Beakley
McDonald has a good T20 background so I suspect he will head over the ditch.
It was confirmed yesterday that McDonald will be the coach for the T20 series.

South Africa currently 1/164 in their second innings, in the lead by 6
Markram 67*
van der Dussen 60*

Today belongs to Kagiso Rabada, taking 3/70 in Pakistan's innings has seen him reach 200 test wickets. He is the third fastest behind Waqar Younis and Dale Steyn to the mark by deliveries bowled and he has the lowest strike rate (40.8) of bowlers that have taken 200 test wickets.

That's a ripper of a nut from Neser to knock over Lynn.
And from earlier, always nice to watch a Ben Laughlin special, what a catch! Has a crazy knack of taking rippers.

Weatherald's was even more of sitter than Briggs drop.

Can't really disagree with what you've posted above highlighting the age of some of the guys and this team looks pretty good, I'd have Warner and Starc in a full strength line up if the selectors go that way and only one of Carey (preferably) or Philippe as the keeper/opener.
The only player I would never consider because I don't rate him at all is D'Arcy Short. Also he can only really open the batting and we have so many better T20 openers to choose from.
I hope Behrendorff is able to come back into contention for Australian selection in the future.
Short is hit ands miss, he had a couple of stellar seasons and I guess he's performed when I've watched him, he has it all but has probably under achieved for a year or two so I can understand your lack of love for him.
Agree with Starc, I'd say once they give up on him in the test arena he'll hone in on his short game to keep the dollars rolling in, on his day he is virtually unplayable, I hope we haven't seen the last of him in the white ball game.
Totally agree with Behrendorff, loved watching him in full flight previously, I was under the impression that he was finished through injury, I'm glad I was ill-informed, I always have a soft spot for left arm quicks, I modelled my action and run up on Akram once he hit the scene.
While he's been very good and consistent in the BBL Short has been a miss more than a hit at international level so far to really demand selection over the likes if Warner, Finch and Carey, and he's already 30.
Starc is our best white ball bowler and while perhaps his test future is becoming uncertain you'd think he'd play in the T20 World Cup.
It's good to see Behrendorff back on the first class scene after all his back injury issues, he may even be considered to play for WA in the Sheffield Shield again.

I had my Bucks party yesterday, a great Sunday session with all my good mates and massive afternoon and evening in particular, I got absolutely blind. We had a Cocktail Night at my cricket club on Saturday night too so I'm feeling alot worse for wear today haha.

We went Go Karting at Gepps Cross in the morning, then across the road to the Ale House for lunch then onto Maniax, the Ax Throwing place on Port Road at Thebarton followed by a long stop at Big Shed and then onto Pirate Life. There were plans to head to the city but there was no way that was going to eventuate because of the state we were in last night. I got dragged to the Fed at Semaphore by a few lads aswell but that didn't last long on my part.

The Ax Throwing was the main thing I've wanted to do for awhile and boy did I love it, the guys had alot of praise about it too. If anyone on here is looking for something different to do for a Bucks party, birthday, work party, something to do with friends etc. I fully recommend it, it was so much fun!

I had my wedding on Saturday at Anderson Hill Winery at Lenswood.
Incredible day and my wife (feels weird writing that) looked absolutely gorgeous. So happy with how it all went.
Luckily the rain stopped in the early afternoon and the weather for our 5.30 ceremony was perfect.
My cricket team had a 10.30am start (instead of 12.30) organised so my close teammates could come but the match was washed out anyway. IMG-20210314-WA0010.jpg

Thanks everyone for your kind words (and your banter haha), I really appreciate it.
@Dutchy Yep great venue, my wife always wanted to get married at a winery and I was captivated by the view Anderson Hill has. Anyone on here that loves visiting wineries and sampling wine and wants a spot in the hills to go for lunch I full recommend it.
@Wedgie Thanks mate, yes that's a great photo, I'm real happy with it and that's why I shared it on here. We are ecstatic with the preview of photos our photographer has given us.

I'll do Div 3 if there's enough interest mate.

I actually thought Bevo had a better test average than he did, he struggled real bad against the short ball, hence the huge difference in his white ball form, I don't think they were allowed to bowl over shoulder height for a while when he was playing. 10621 runs @60.69 with 42 hundreds (the second most behind Boofs 45) in Shield cricket is an outstanding record but then to play 18 test matches, have 30 innings and average only 29.07 and not make a hundred shows he's (unfortunately for him) perfect for the in-between category.

Magpies by 20 points at the half.
I got sucked in after they showed a bit against Richmond last Friday and picked Carlton tonight. While it's only a half so far they've done nothing but show me why I hate them and why I shouldn't pick them FFS.

4/68 effectively 4/35

:shock:

Head and Carey fail again when required. When required? Head is top of the Shield runs (893 @68.69) FFS, what more do you want?

Carey out in the second innings to a reverse sweep and batsmen getting out to a reverse sweep always looks bad.
Scott out cheaply again at number 3, a change must be made. Looking him up on MyCricket I can see he's played a fair bit at 3 in second eleven and grade cricket (although he has mostly opened) so I get why SA have got him there but feeling sorry for him now as he's clearly out of his depth in that spot at this point in time. Boland got him with a regulation delivery, edge and catch to keeper Harper.
The positive again though is Hunt, he's the one that has continued to get better as an opener. He's had a consistent season, 568 runs @43.69 before this match and scores of 36 and currently 73*, his fifth half century of the season to go with his top score of 109.

I'll help out my old mate LM and run the Div 3 tipping comp again.

One point for every correct tip obviously and an extra point is up for grabs if you select the right margin aswell- I'm going to run with the 1-30, 31-60, 61+ margin selection.

No tips for the round means you get zero! If you don't put your tips in for 3 weeks in a row you will be removed from the competition.

Please BOLD the team you are picking or name them singularly like I normally do.

Please do not quote someones tips and say 'same' or 'x2', post your tips properly.

Please enter your tips for each round before 2.15pm Saturday, tips will not be accepted if entered after that time.

Please get your tips in ASAP and good luck!!

Congrats Davo, that's magnificent - does the Cricket Club have the same weird Life membership qualifications as the footy club?
Thank you FC!
The Cricket Club has similar qualifications in that you have to play for a minimum 10 years and play 100 games.
Footy club life membership is a playing life membership where as for cricket it's a club life membership so aswell as playing for the club you have to had served on the committee, volunteer or do something to serve the club (eg. Coaching, Scoring) to become eligible. Also you have to be nominated by a fellow club member to the club committee then the club committee decides to make you a life member. I like that because you are voted in by a peer/your peers and it makes it more prestigious.

I hope those who went to India for cricket are on the end of the list of citizens to come back

Been enjoying watching the Bombers this season, even before tonight their kids have shown plenty to think the future looks alright. Third highest scoring team in the competition now too and they sneak into 8th on the ladder for now. Even before tonight’s win they were 12th and were the forth highest scoring team before going ahead of Melbourne and joining the Bulldogs and Lions on 1000+ points in 11 matches.

I bought my wife some Airpods (2nd Generation) off Ebay for $38. They are refurbished ones apparently and they were packaged up like brand new and work fine.
I bought them on the 20th of May and they were supposed to come by the 1st of June. They hadn't come by the 4th, last Friday so I made a request to Ebay about them not being delivered and the seller had to respond and resolve it by the 10th of June. They didn't do that and I got a follow up message from Ebay to say they hadn't received any tracking info from the seller so they refunded me.
On Wednesday the Airpods came in the mail, thank you very much Ebay for the free Airpods!

I have a 2018 X-Trail and it does the job, have done 40k on it and 2 trips to Melbourne, its middle of the range and thats all I need as Im not a car person.

I read today that Scott Pendlebury needs just 4 disposals to move past Sam Mitchell into 6th spot on the most disposals in AFL history list so I looked into some more AFL stat lists.

Pendlebury has 8684 career disposals and is the highest on list among current players, Joel Selwood is 10th, Dave Mundy 18th, Marc Murphy 24th, Josh Kennedy 26th, Shaun Burgoyne 27th and Travis Boak is 29th.

Mitchell has the highest average disposal count of the top 30 (26.4) and Pendlebury has the second highest (26.32).

Pendlebury has the most handballs in AFL history with 4360, Selwood is 5th on that list, Kennedy 6th, Boak 13th and Mundy 15th.

Last round Lance Franklin (973 goals) moved into 6th spot on the most goals in AFL history list and he's currently 4th on the most behinds in AFL history list with 686, 4 behind Gary Ablett Senior.

Selwood has the most tackles in the AFL with 1662 and of the other current players Pendlebury is 3rd on the most tackles list, Burgoyne is 8th, Kennedy 10th, Liam Shiels 12th and Mundy is 14th.

Patrick Dangerfield is just 2 behind Jason Akermanis on the most Inside 50s in AFL history list, Dangerfield is 5th on that list with 1325. Of the other current players on that list Selwood is 7th, Dustin Martin is 11th, Pendlebury is 13th and Boak is 15th.

Looks like they're going to get whitewashed 3-0. Apart from Kusal Perera (who is the veteran of this SL team) and vaguely knowing Dhananjaya de Silva and Hasaranga I don't know any of Sri Lanka's team.

Meanwhile despite missing Archer and Stokes England still have a very strong side, they have excellent white ball cricket depth.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has explained why sporting clubs will be allowed to resume training when lockdown lifts – but won’t be allowed to compete.

Sporting clubs will be allowed to resume training when lockdown lifts on Wednesday, but competition will remain on hold until further notice.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said restricting teams from competition would minimise contact between people from different areas of the city and state.

“The difference (between training and competition) is that, if you’re training, you’re training with a group of people that you normally come into contact with,” he told ABC Radio Adelaide on Tuesday.

“When you allow teams to compete, they invariably come from different parts of the wider metropolitan area or different country locations to compete together.

“You’re bringing different communities together, which means, if we do have an outbreak, the potential spread is much wider than if you just have it within a group of people who normally get together.”

Mr Stevens said he was hopeful that the state could keep “moving in the right direction”, and the rules were being worked out in consultation with the Department for Recreation and Sport.

“We think it’s the right step at this point in time, but we’re really hopeful that, over the next seven days, we continue to keep on top of this Modbury outbreak and we don’t see any further seeping from New South Wales,” he said.

AFL was also put on hold during the state’s seven-day lockdown.

Adelaide had been due to take on Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval this weekend, but the game was brought forward and instead played in at an empty Marvel Stadium in Melbourne last Saturday.

Mr Stevens said he had not been involved in any conversation about re-starting footy in the state this weekend.

“My last understanding was that both Adelaide teams were currently out of Adelaide and planning to play their next round out of Adelaide as well,” he said.

https://www.cricket.com.au/news/domestic-cricket-schedule-2021-2022-sheffield-shield-marsh-one-day-cup-fixture-day-night-ashes/2021-07-21

Cricket Australia finalised its men's and women's domestic schedules today, with the Marsh Sheffield Shield returning to a full home-and-away season after it was shortened last summer due to the pandemic.

Each state will also play seven Marsh One-Day Cup games before the final on February 27.

The domestic season is scheduled to begin in less than eight weeks, with two full rounds of the Marsh Cup from September 11-16, which could allow Australia's white-ball stars to take part before they fly out for the T20 World Cup.

It remains to be seen how COVID-19 restrictions and border closures will impact the schedule.

The Sheffield Shield season will begin on September 28, its second earliest start in history, and feature five full rounds before Australia's Vodafone Men’s Test against Afghanistan in late November.

The sixth Shield round before the mid-season break will be played concurrently with that Test, while an Australia A match against the touring Englishmen will be played at the same time as the first Vodafone Ashes Test at the Gabba on December 8-12.

But for a fourth consecutive season, there are no day-night matches on the Shield schedule, even though the second Ashes Test in Adelaide will be played under lights.

There was at least one day-night Shield round for five seasons between 2013-14 and 2017-18, and in recent years, some of Australia's Test players have had pink-ball preparation via 'A' games.

Pending COVID restrictions, Shield cricket is scheduled to be played in all six states as well as one game at Manuka Oval in Canberra, with Queensland to take their home games to Townsville and the new Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane due to the redevelopment of Allan Border Field.

The Shield final will be played on March 26-30 and be broadcast on Fox Cricket and Kayo Sports. Foxtel will also broadcast 13 Marsh Cup games, including the final, while broadcast and live streaming details for the remaining domestic matches will be announced later in the year.

Peter Roach, CA's Head of Operations said he was comfortable with the 22-game Marsh Cup schedule, despite recent criticism from Australia's ODI captain, Aaron Finch, that the scarcity of 50-over domestic cricket means Australia is falling behind other nations.

The one-day cup hasn't been played as a full home-and-away season in a decade and Roach is confident the balance of the current schedule, with 31 Shield games and 22 one-dayers to go with a full home-and-away KFC BBL, is the right one, especially once easier international travel allows for the return of full 'A' series at home and abroad.

We actually won!

Swepson with outstanding figures along with Tye but it was up to the batsmen and finally we were able to bat well enough to chase down their score.

Christian with a match winning innings, who would of thought @daysofourlives
Maybe that listened to us hey?

Although Tye collected 3 wickets they were tailenders going the tonk, there's still plenty of tinkering needed to be done with that batting order, isn't McDermott a 3-5 operator?

There is no room for a no-rounder like Turner, I'd sooner see us with another specialist in either discipline, playing Swepson and Zampa wouldn't kill us, at least Zampa has a dip with the willow too.

Do we have a limit on how many Mitch's we're allowed to play or does Starc just struggle too much over there?

I would've thought getting as many games into him as possible would've been paramount for his condition for the WC, he will bowl our first delivery in it. We'll do a extensive review tomorrow once this current T20 is complete mate!

Getting the COVID relief payment alot quicker than I expected.

Initially I tried doing it last week, linking Centrelink through my MyGov account and got to a page after doing the initial identification pages where I needed to provide a bank account number. I've never used Centrelink in my life so the account number they had on record was a mystery to me. I tried few different account numbers, including my mums old accounts but none of the numbers we had worked. I tried ringing Centrelink three separate times and couldn't get through and I also tried going into the Port Adelaide Centrelink office last Monday morning but after lining up to go in for an hour and a half I got very frustrated with it so gave up temporarily.

On Monday morning I rang the services Australia number and after an hour on hold and it hanging up on me and then a further hour and a half on hold I finally talked to someone and they gave me the details I needed. The records they had on my profile were from when the time when I was in high school.

So from there I was able to continue with the Centrelink identification process yesterday and I got in. It took me a bit of time to do relief payment application which was frustrating but I got through it. I checked my bank during my dinner break last night and the payment was already there! Certainly didn't expect it to be that quick.

I had to jump through some hoops to get it but how quickly I got it was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't recommend signing up/trying to link up with Centrelink with any urgency though.
