The future Australian XI did well to restrict the star studded Redbacks outfit to 313 after they won the toss and elected to swing the willow.

A pumped up Bluetongues blew off the demons of losing their 50 Over match off a last ball misfield by scoring 576 runs in reply to the SA total, a superb effort from the pre-pubescent future Baggy Greens against the recently pronounced sane reverse swinging demi-god and “India-Ready” Shaun Tait.. who spectacularly failed to take any wickets at all with the first ball, then managed a massive 1 batsman and 2 bowlers with the second.

So, Day 4 and we were looking at bowling the Redbacks out to add outright victory to our firsts innings points, however Younis Khan has finally shed the jetlag and has been batting most of the day. What’s more he’s now taken the SA total past ours meaning we’ll have to bat again, Bastárd.

Bloody Hell, we lost to the Redbacks! Surely even NSW F should be able to whip the whipping boys, but Shaun Tait with 5/27 says No. Mind you, Shaun Tait also says he should go to India due to his impressive record against them (21 overs, 1 maiden, 0/92 in Perth) and his proven ability to reverse swing the white ball implying he’ll find the magic with the SG Ball that the incumbent Baggy Green bowlers and their coach one Troy Cooley have thus far failed to. Life must be just peachy in Shaun’s Head.

Now I’m not going to make excuses for the loss, by all accounts Tait was devastating with the ball, and it’s not like losing our top 27 players to an India tour and another to a debilitating man-hair injury has adversely effected us.

As long as NSW continue to breed the big names we should pull through this season, and if we can find a way to make the finals then get our big guns back we’ll probably win the Shield, again.
