O'Keefe is very good man. He's been kept out of the side for so long because he's a jerk and nobody likes him. True story. His first class averages are extremely good for a left arm orthodox (good by any standard tbh). 174 wickets at 24.79.

Or more accurately, Clarke didn't like him.

The Gods are crying for wasting a great game on such a poor city

You wish you had a ground as good as the SCG.

Has everything

Ask Warney

How in the hell is Stephen O'Keefe the next best spinner in Australian Cricket

I reckon Geo could land them better than O'Keefe

I know that I joke about NSW players being useless but in O'Keefe's case …....

I think you're underestimating him. He's a great spinner and good with the bat too.

View him the same lines along with Shane Watson

Not a good enough batsmen or bowler at International level

Drops too many balls short from what I have seen

Probably get a wicket in the next few minutes

Queensland ever going to produce a good spin bowler? O'keefe is going pretty well.

You stole Hauritz off us

Allan Border was a handy left armer LOL , took a 12 fa against the best side in the World at the time (same ground as well )

The all time great Nathan Hauritz hey?
And AB is from Mosman. Hardly known for his bowling anyway. Boyce is probably the best QLD spinner there's been for a long time.

Tears of joy from the Gods for the wonderful arena

Malcolm Francke was a spin bowler from the 70's in Qld

Sri Lankan background , actually played against his son who went Brisbane State High with Michael Kasperwicz and Stuart Law in the same side

Wonderful weather in NSW

Probably time we stripped them of Test cricket status , can't even get the weather right

 

[happy_tiger]

LOL more rain

There are twice as many floods in Northern NSW and in the Hunter than Nth Qld

Don't worry give it 50 - 75 years Glen and NSW will be getting cyclones and you won't have a Barrier Reef to help slow the tidal surges

 

[Glen_McWilliams]

I've never had to pay extra tax to help them out.

Covers all floods

Rain in Sydney again, surely not

You'd think the people in the smart state would of been smart enough to put a retractable roof on their stadiums to cover for this

Disgraceful

 

[Sabre]

Looks like it's raining in Brisbane too. Shocker.


 

[happy_tiger]

But we aren't hosting a Test match , are we

If they can't get this match going shortly I think the rest of Australia should declare war on NSW

Its just not cricket old chum
