those cheeky monkeys

Getting the score at lunch, and knowing that in all reality the game has well and truly slipped beyond our grasp, I was disconsolate for all of about 30 seconds.

There were no tears, but there was a general malaise that had affected by very being.

However then a lightbulb went on above my head.

I remembered David Hussey and his double hundred to beat the speedblitz blues a couple of years back.

This is obviously what Victoria has been planning the whole time.

How else would the let a rookie make a spectacular hundred.

I am sorry boys, I just never saw it coming.

So now I’m assuming that this is a cunning plan that is intended to inflict maximum pain on New South Wales.

Sounds like a brilliant idea, just don’t take it too far gents, because if they make, say 800 runs, like the look like doing, Hussey is only good for about 400 of them, and after that the rest of you are going to have to share them.

But kudos to you on this wonderful initiative.

second new ball's due in 4 overs, and you're quicks have had a decent break now.. last chance for the Mexican's I reckon.

About time for Clarke to score some runs, he's been bloody quite this year on the domestic front.

Kattich on the other hand beat Bevan's record for runs in a domestic season when he hit 50...

Moses @ OxenShizer said...

Dammit - Katto run out just short of 2000 calendar runs.

Clarke seems to have opened up though, boundaries flowing now...

and Clarke gone

and Haddin gone

not sure about the merrits of this plan - play out the old ball then attach the new one. hmmpff.

Speciallist batsman Beau Casson's coming in now to save the day.

Obviously they think 400 is enough.

Sarah you asked for wickets, now they are coming thick and fast.

Moses @ OxenShizer said...

400's enough - as a winning margin. I don't want to merely win the Shield by 150, where's the fun in that?

Perhaps I've been watching too many Greame Smith films...

Sarah said...

Yep, quite happy with that. Just need to get the ranga out now.

well I for one am happy to see the Ginga and the Dominator bring some sence of normalcy back into this game. Lets just make it to stumps and then think about getting a lead tomorrow.
