Was a great result

Where were you last night

I expect that someone in the squad will 'pull a hammy' and Patterson will be included.

always chase your loses

Only training that should have happened last night is have a few beers at the club rooms and watch the cricket, most teams probably have a few new guys good way to get to know them.

Starc: 14 overs, 0 maidens, 57 runs, 0 wickets
Other bowlers: 36 overs, 16 maidens, 57 runs, 8 wickets

South Africa in crisis mode..... Duanne Olivier at 26 turns his back on international cricket to sign a 3 year Kolpak deal with Yorkshire

The political situation over there must be the main reason they are leaving in droves.

Decent 11

They rushed it, they needed to take 5 years developing 16-21 year olds to teach them the skills of the game...when you have 30 year olds that can't mark or kick a drop punt then there really is little hope for them. The quality will no doubt improve its just whether people will still be interested when it does. If they can get to under 15 male quality then they would have done well.

My team would chase all runs in 30 overs, not that they would be chasing many.

I forgot how much I dislike David King

I dare say Kallis would make any team as a batsmen.

But maybe not as a bowler 292 wickets at 32.65 sr/ 69.2 going on stats


Andre Nel is the only fringe pacer I can think of at the moment 36 tests - 123 wickets at 31.86 sr/ 62
Edit. Nantie Hayward 16 tests - 54 wickets at 29.79 sr/ 52.2


Kallis not being a complete physco gets in before Nel = all rounder

Tas batting for the draw

McDermott is 1* of 68 balls

No Redbacks player could do that

For South Australia to go past second-placed NSW, it needs to beat first-placed Victoria (6 points), and bowl the ladder leaders out in the first 100 overs (1.0 point) as well as piling on 1806 runs in its first 100 overs with the bat (16.06 points).

Port have been outstanding 10/10

Campbell Brown used to be on there too but he must have got the boot.

The Libs love giving the wealthy a handout. 'Trickle up' policy at work:

According to Treasury documents, flattening tax brackets will result in a total tax cut of $1,205 a year for a person earning $50,000, $1,955 for someone earning $80,000, $3,040 for a person earning $100,000 increasing to $11,640 for those earning $200,000 or more.

Based on the government’s figures that the Coalition’s plan will cost $230bn more than Labor’s, the Australia Institute analysis finds those earning more than $180,000 will get at least $77bn in tax cuts over the next 10 years. Most of that benefit ($64bn) will flow to those earning more than $200,000, it says.

The majority of the income tax cuts (54%) goes to those in the top 20% of taxpayers, according to the Australia Institute.

The analysis also reveals that under the flat tax plan high-income earners – defined as the top 20%, estimated to be those earning $203,000 by 2024 – will be paying 4% less of the overall income tax take than in 2018-19.

Low-income earners, the bottom 30%, will pay 1.7% more of the overall tax take and middle-income earners, the middle 50%, will pay 2.2% more.

Those that pay the most tax get the most benefit from tax cuts, what an outrage.......

Great result, covers over the crows craters

These umpires should not get another gig ever

Fair career turnaround by Boak

Another 38 disposals tonight

Hope Jenkins knows his way around Adelaide, won't be playing at Adelaide oval for a while.

How funny was that crows player a few weeks ago with that wanky celebration in the first quarter, they went on to get pumped.

Good luck to him, with so many games he is likely to get a few goes at it, don't think he is best11 but you never know.

DOC wrote:Trengove still can't crack a game. Must be more to it.

He is just too slow and in a team not blessed with pace he would be a liability no matter how many disposals he gets in the SANFL.

Umpiring is just so bad... so so very bad...

How hard is it though?
If you drop the ball in the tackle it’s holding the ball.

Nah

You can drop it in the tackle thats fine
You try and kick it and miss the foot its ball

So it would appear from the umpiring these days

Correct decision

To me it Port looked like they went back to the god awful 2018 gameplan by getting maximum numbers behind the ball and having nothing to kick to, Westhoff is not a key position player and Marshall isn't yet. Its no surprise Crows likely earned the world record for intercept possessions Saturday night.
