Re: Cricket
For the final the previous record might be Queensland's 664 when they first won it in 1994/95. They beat South Australia by an innings and 101 runs.

Re: Cricket
Thought the Vics scored 700+ in a final a few years ago , possibly v QLD , so think this is 'payback'..

Re: Cricket
Downstairs, in the old Richmond Social Club, there was a framed photo of the scoreboard of that record Innings. It was positioned near the far end of the back bar.
It must have been over 20 years since I've seen that photo.
I remember looking at it before every home game of every season, when I was a teenager.

Re: Cricket
Exactly, if they needed to take 20 wickets to win the match they would have declared by now.
I suppose the draw being good enough for the home side is in order to avoid a replay with the Gabba and the SCG being needed for football in the next few weeks, a situation which would normally apply to the MCG as well. Although the final was held at Neumann Oval/Allan Border Field when the 'Gabba was being resurfaced in 2000, and I'm sure the Junction Oval or North Sydney Oval could be used if circumstances required. Not like you get huge crowds for the Shield Final any more, unless Tasmania were to host it in Hobart.

Re: Cricket
we should bat all day and defend grimly. no attacking shots. let them field all day while we score 0/100 off 70 overs.

Re: Cricket
Second Test, Durban
Australia 369 and 307/4 dec. (Ponting 116, Hayden 102)
South Africa 267 and 29/0
Stumps, day four
South Africa require a further 381 runs to win with all ten wickets in hand
Looks like there was no further play last night. Haven't seen a weather forecast for the last day -- rain or bad light might have the biggest influence on the outcome.

Re: Cricket
Agree entirely - I watched that last night and couldn't believe my eyes - classic case of ego before ability.
I rarely admit to disliking a Cricket Team but this South African mob irritate me something fierce - I don't know whether it is their arrogance or their demeanor or whether they are all related to the boars of 1901 fame - but they rile me.
PS the only other Cricket team I have ever disliked was Illingsworths English team that played our second XI during the early days of the Packer Series Cricket....
Hartbalme said:Andre Nel is officially a tool.
Gilchrist belted him for 22 in an over and the dill was still mouthing off at Gilly. Thought he was going to hit him for a minute there. What a wally :
