Tasmania v. N.S.W. - Pura Cup

[Donny]

The Blues won the toss and batted.

Slater (16) went with the score on 33 and Mail (21) on 52, both bowled by Wright.

Katich is 29 n.o. 2/73 at lunch.

[Donny]

Katich goes to 50 n.o.

Waugh is 33 n.o. as N.S.W. move on to 2/121.

[Donny]

Katich is making every post a winner since he replaced Darren Lehmann for the Sydney Test.

He's just peeled off another century and in only 117 balls. His partnership of Steve waugh is 173, so far.

At tea, The Blues are 2/225 with Katich on 114 n.o. and Waugh, 73.

[Donny]

Anything could happen in this session.

Waugh hit the first ball after tea to the boundary and followed up with 2 sixes. He races to 89. Another 6 takes him to 95.

Has he got a bet going with the Kat ? At the moment it's 122 to 95.

[Donny]

Will he try another six for the hundred ?

On 95, he hits a 3 then Katich hits a 6 and takes a single. I feel it coming .......

[Trippy Pie]

Well done Mr Steven Waugh!!

Another century.

How many first class centuries does that make now?

I would like to thank the Australian selectors for leaving Waugh and Katich out of the joke of a tour in India.

Go you two blues.

[Donny]

.... only a 2.

100 from 143 balls. Well played, Tugga. Has he ever been in better form ?

[Donny]

That was his 79th. first class ton. 93 fifties.

[HAL]

[Trippy Pie]

Ta. Is it possible he can crack the 100, 100's milestone.

He will have to play at least 3-4 more seasons but if his enjoying his cricket and his form warrants selection, then why not?

[HAL]

I guess its possible. . .

[Donny]

After a 270 run partnership for the 3rd. wicket with Waugh, Katich was run out for 171 from just 189 balls. He's certainly in a purple patch.

The Blues are now 4/346 in the 84th. over. Waugh is 129 n.o.

[Donny]

Steve out for 157. Mark not out on 9. 5/384.

[Donny]

At stumps, N.S.W. is 5/408. Mark Waugh is 20 n.o. and Brad Haddin, 18 n.o.

[Donny]

After 8 overs, this morning, Waugh and Haddin have added 44 runs.
