Dominant Day for NSW
Spare a thought for Peter Forrest who is making his first class debut for NSW. Whilst NSW dominated the first day's play against Queensland with a score of 2 for 402 in which Jaques, Katich and Thornely all made centuries, Forrest sat with the pads on for hours watching his teammates carve up the Bulls' attack.
Meanwhile, Tasmania have made an even better start in their fixture against South Australia, claiming first innings points on day one. And, in the tightest Pura Cup competition in years, Victoria fought back well after Justin Langer made yet another century for Western Australia.
It is going to be a fascinating couple of weeks for Australian cricket tragics such as myself. As a NSW supporter, I hope Forrest gets a good night's sleep and I wish him and NSW well for the remainder of the season.
