Oh well,next game WA!

49ers Lost again!GROAN!

At least The Whizkid Shota Imanaga kept me happy,with another Masterclass of Cy Young Pitching,for Da Cubbies!

[BenDoolan]

What the bloody blazes was going on with WA????

Absolutely cruising along at 3/133 to be all out for 164 to lose by 2 runs

Some of their dismissals were downright pathetic!

Not sure Benny,but they need a good oldfashioned BOOT Up the Arse to get 'em going!

[BenDoolan]

Thrilling finish to the Vics v QLD clash!

Needing 19 off the last over to win the game, man of the moment Sam Elliott, bowled 2 dots to Neser before being tonked for 2 consecutive sixes. Needing 7 to win with 2 balls to go, Neser tried to belt another 6 to tie the game, but was caught at deep backward square leg.

The only game of interest to the neautral on the last day was in Sydney,until things slowed down.Even so,it didn't appear to be the spinning top NSW had hoped it would be,to skittle SA a second time.

WA should have declared much earlier to Dare Queensland to chase a target down,but were to cautious.

And Tasmania weren't remotely interested in anything but getting what points they could and batting Victoria right out of it.I reckon that might have explained Victoria's Ultra Go Slow at the end.10 Overs for 4 Runs!Any Stadium would have been emptied with that kind of Cricket!

Heard there was a few thousand at The G on Sunday,Benny.There were actually people lining up at the Gate/s with a Big Queue forming.Probably only 1 Gate though,......

Did Smudge blow up after being given out shouldering arms?!

He stood around a bit and shook his head a few times.

Looked out to me.
