Eddie Rainsford is certainly looking the part. 3 very important wickets to his name.

Reckon this one's heading for a draw, personally.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back - I'd forgotten the final was a 5-dayer. But Eagles really haven't been themselves so far, at the moment Rhinos are firmly in charge. I blame the combination of Eagles being out-of-practice after a long layoff, and the coaching change enforced by Silverwood's return to England.

Looks like Lamb and Chigumbura are showing there class. Lamb gets a lot of stick but if we played a test match tommorow he would be one of the first names in the middle order as he has the temperament. However i do admit that his batting is unproven in the shorter format

agree with you zimfan about lamb in test. Zim needs a batter that will just hang aroung while others can feed off him

Finally, a century for Chigumbura! And a big one for Lamb!

Well batted Greg Lamb. Just keep scoring runs and prove to the selectors that you've got real talent, well done :)
Well batted Chigs, just helping boosting his pedigree even further 8-)
And Cremer's wicketless :shock: Now that's a first 8-)

Just one wicket taken by Rhinos in a full days' play. That's not good.
...unless you're an Eagles supporter. :D

Way to go Eagles they surely dusted off the rust quick enough. We are in a good position now to take this game. I would mind Lamb getting a really big. To be honest I have never been his biggest fan.

...and they went completely to pieces this morning, from 400/5 to 451 all out. Grrr.
Still, a 1st-innings lead of 87 isn't to be sneezed at - should have been a lot better, though.
