SA Footy

starts today

14 a side

3 day game ( 120 over limit for first innings)

Looks like England have decided to go with Jones for the first test. Read not named in the 14 man team for the 3 day tour game against NSW.

Jaques is toweling them up again, 68* off 90 balls at Lunch, NSW 1/124.

Hoggard, Harmison and Anderson have all gone for more than 5 an over....Flintoff for 3 an over

C'mon JL get runs aginst QLD at the WACA.....

This is the one of the few times I will go for Team NSW.

NSW 1/186, Jaques 103* of 146 balls, the same three bowlers still above 5 an over...

Another ton for Jaques and Langer out for 7 at the WACA.

Langer faced better bowlers.

Blue Baggers, 3/216 of 55.3 overs. Jaques 107 of 157 balls out to Giles, Giles has two and is winning the battle of the spinners wich is good as he is the a dart thrower compared to Panesar......

The last Pommy spinners to do any good out here were Embury and Edmonds in 86-87 when we were sh!t....

The form Jaques is in it would be almost impossible to leave him out of the first test side. The selectors will though

Johnson 3/52 off 19 overs, including the wickets off Hussey and Martyn....pretty usefull scalps,

Gee this test team is going to be harder to pick than a broken nose.....Some blokes are going to misss out that have legitimate claims.....a good position to be in, blokes are going to know perform or else as their is cover for everyone....

HON REEKS out lbw to Harmison this morning but it is now raining at the SCG and NSW have only batted for 94.1 of thier 120 alloted overs. I hope it rains all day so the Poms will get **** all batting practice LMAO.

I was thinking the exact samething! Its a joke they have made it 120 overs max! they dont do it for us when we go over there, do they! seem to remember essex batting for days there at 1 stage!

Where's the rain dancer Reb ???

Looks like a pretty good performance by the England bowlers in the end to get the last 8 wickets for 160 odd runs. 3 Wickets to Harmison and some respectable bowling figures to all of their bowlers after Jaques took to them on the 1st Day.

Trescothick out again cheaply bowled Lee. If Cook can perform well, I wonder if they may open with Cook and Strauss in the First Test and play Bell at 3 and Collingwood at 5? Cook is an opener in County cricket isn't he?

England 1/95 With Struass (ominously) in the runs again with 50 not out and Cook not out 31. Not too sure about how good England's bowling was when you look at the RPO stat.

3.5 per over isn't too bad. Respectable considering they all pretty much went for 3 an over except Harmison, however, he got 3 wickets. England nudging 5 an over in their innings so far.
