what is the minimum total for overcast on a sticky pitch u reckon?

[roo boys!]

130 is defendable I reckon. My target is 220 but doubt that is gonna happen with Stevenson opening. Will drag down my ratings also as my top order is normally my strength.

well 130 it is after this

2.6   W   Polzin to Walsh : Bouncer, and hooked straight to the man in the deep! Out!
F. Walsh c K. Charles b. S. Polzin 4 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR:36.36

End of over 3 (6 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(9-1) RR 3.00
S. Ritula 4 (8b) , F. Crook 0 (0b) , S. Polzin 2-1-6-1

i said in my opening post i had a gut instinct bout this one but could still be proven wrong i was 4-37 last week at one stage

3.1   W   Hussey to Crook : Bowled through the gate as Crook attempts a forward defensive. That's a brilliant ball from Hussey as the timber goes flying.
F. Crook b. M. Hussey 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

T. Stevenson 5 (11b) , K. Jaseam 6 (13b) , J. Omesh 2-0-8-0

I think Stevenson could seek a new career as an opening batsman :o :o

slow and steady wins the race

on another note

6.1   .   Polzin to Vidur : Ouch!... Vidur has copped one which may prevent certain activities this evening. Polzin and Gecko clearly feel sorry for him as shown by the glowing smiles on their faces.

ouch my keepers gonna fell that one in the morning...lol

M. Pretty 19 (22b) , T. Stephens 8 (15b) , A. Srivaths 3-0-15-0



Going pretty steady right now which I am happy about. Windy conditions so playing 2 spec summary FS and my expert summary WS.

I personally aam wanting to put 220 on the board as well.

5.1   W   Omesh to Stevenson : Out! Good grief, he's bowled him! Omesh pitches full and the ball holds its line, nipping through Stevenson's loose defense, easy as pie, just sneaking back and knocking out off stump!
T. Stevenson b. J. Omesh 6 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR:42.86

there u go Boomz ;)

yeah 220 would be great but what would the minimum be R&B said 130 but that seems a little low for a defendable total or u reckon that about right?

((not doubting u R&B just thinking that is a little low is all and just see other ppls thoughts ;)))

beat me to it R&B

[Boomz]

Ferguson is actually going alright lol

[CrowsFan]
