i think tassie will thrash them

Do you think we should tell Purpleheart that he's got his caps lock on?

Anyway, I reckon Tassie were incredibly juicy odds for this game. In my mind they should have been favourites.

The $2.45 on offer for Tas was too good to pass up. Well played Tasmania. As usual Bevan is there at the end to see his team over the line to victory.

Absloutely the 2.45 was too good to refuse about tassie, after all i only recognised 4-5 names in that QLD line up and the most prominant, the skipper MAHER who got a tonne. Tassie should have started 1.80 or worse!!

Thankyou very much

I didn't have to back them yesterday (already backed both teams earlier in the season at better odds) but I still had an extra investment on them. The Qld team looked very weak. I agree that Tassie shoud have been odds-on.

doesn't that Phillipson look a good player....he'll be a star next season..
and that Johnson is pretty quick,,,if he gets it together he could be a bolter for the Aussie side..they would love a lefty in the team..
Maybe an Ashes Bolter.....would feel sorry for tait though.

How many Qlders do you want in there??? Perhaps I'm a chance.

The pace bowlers will be McGrath, Lee, Gillespie, Kasprowicsz and then probably one of either Tait or Bracken. If they wanted a lefty, it would be Bracken.

Just think how good QLD would be at full strength:

Hayden
Maher
Love
Symonds
Hopes
Watson
Seccombe
Hauritz
Kasprowicz
Noffke
Bichel
