To be played at Area 51

[Marcuss]

Furball's don't have the greatest of home records. 2 defeats, a draw and a game against Spark that could've easily gone the other way.

Hugely controversial dropping of Kabir Ali for Warne as well. How Sidebottom survives I'm unsure.

[GingerFurball]

Marcuss North made 93?

SACK EVERYONE

[GingerFurball]

Think I'm right in saying that's 100 CWPL wickets for Steyn?

Really shouldn't screw this up from here, hopefully we'll bat them out the game.

Indeed. Butterworth and Siddle are scrapping for the other podium spots.

Pitch just starting to show signs of misbehaviour

** Tea - Day 3 **

Current Conditions

Ball : The ball is nice and new.
Pitch : A fairly good batting pitch with a few cracks.
Bounce : Okay bounce with the odd one keeping low.
Outfield : Fast outfield.
Weather : Overcast.

So any kind of decent batting effort should see Furball safe.

[GingerFurball]

Judging by how bad pitches seem to work at cricsim, I expect the opposition to chase 500.

[Noble One]

In a spot of trouble here. Don't fancy chasing a target against Warne and Murali.
