Last ball of the day, and Ian Healy has walked up to Shane Warne to discuss something. Is this shades of Basit Ali all over again? Hopefully jackster83 keeps his legs together!

 

[Tonga Bob]

89.6 Warne to jackster83, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down, ball pitching way outside leg stump and turning back viciously but jackster kicks it for touch. Warney tried but thankfully jackster heeded my advice!

End of over 90 (5 runs)

END OF DAY 1

Warne 18.0-3-65-0
jackster83 88(178b 15X4)
KBLT 11(26b 2X4)

Honours even on day one, slightly favouring us after being sent in but one more wicket and Australia are into the tail. Good knocks from spudmaster moginie & Van_Dyke but jackster83 has been the star with 88 not out. McGrath & Young with two wickets each the best for the 1997 Aussies. Which team will make the most of what looks to be outstanding conditions on day two?

​

I don't know either, actor Steve Buscemi! We'll find out together tomorrow then aye?

Seeya then.

 

[KBLT]

This Warne bloke is a bit overrated, hey?

TBF, you were stuck tagging people who haven't been on BigFooty in a couple of days. All eyes on KBLT, Gralin, Roonescape, HinkleysHeroes and Ocha905 now to see if they can keep our last batter in a bit longer.

This Warne bloke is a bit overrated, hey?

You reckon the baked beans are taking thier toll?
