It was mate, they're showing the games on GEM.  8)

Blues vs Tassie yesterday kicked it off I believe, Vics played Tassie today and won. Was a great effort by the boys. #vicsdoitbetter

It's on free-to-air, all our prayers have been answered!  ;D

Yep all of the Cup games are on GEM, except when there are 2 games on one day, then there is just one on the telle.

Vics played well today, Tassie off to a bad start with 2 losses. I have no idea why Tasmania are playing Gulbis and Rainbird over Butterworth, he is a quality player.

Also why weren't White and Christian playing for the Bushrangers over Hill and Boland? Still, we played well and Bobby Quiney looked really good at the top of the order. Could have gotten a bonus point if it weren't for Hill's horrible running ::)

Victoria are playing in the next 2 games as well, so hopefully we can win both of those as well!

I'm pretty sure White and Christian are playing clt20. As is my boy Maxi (well, he's warming the bench for Mumbai... ::))

Really surprised Butterworth didn't play, easily one of their best.

I actually think Doolan's been looking good.

Fawad was also quite good.

How good is it to have cricket on channel 9 on a tuesday!!!!!

[BB67th]

Ah ok, CL makes sense for those 2. I don't think Fawad deserved man of the match, his first spell was quite bad and he did get all his wickets against the tail. Hastings was BOG. From what I have seen from Fawad so far, I don't think he is a genuine test level bowler, his stock ball is not good enough and I don't think he has anything really special. I think we should just stick with Lyon in the tests and Doherty in the shorter forms. Wouldn't be surprised if Jon Holland gets a call up this summer though.

[Nige]

Dutchy definitely deserves consideration.

Ryobi Cup is on free to air?!?!

Well I was about to come on here and bag the fact that they aren't paying any attention to 50 over cricket because of this format, but if all the games are on FTA then that's awesome!

Up the Redbacks! :D

Where are SA playing since they only just put the pitch in? :P Woulda been nice if they could play when im working it would make the day go much faster, training is quite boring to watch :P

[BB67th]

Every game is in Sydney. They are doing a carnival style tournament with all the games being played across 4 suburban Sydney grounds.

[Nige]

Vics doing well here I reckon. Every Redback has had a start, but nobody's gone on to make a big score. If we can keep them to about 200ish, I think we've got this.

Vics chasing 233. do this
