South Australia routed for 29
South Australia has been decimated on the opening morning of the Pura Cup match against New South Wales at the SCG - bowled out for 29.
The Redbacks were routed in 80 minutes from 14.4 overs with Blues left arm speedster Nathan Bracken collecting 7-4 from seven overs.
Stuart Clark picked up 2-10 while Matthew Nicholson managed 1-13 from five overs.
Five South Australians - Tom Plant, Mark Cosgrove, Callum Ferguson, Mark Cleary and Shaun Tait - were dismissed without scoring, and not a single batsman managed to reach double figures.
Nathan Adcock was the Redbacks top-scorer with eight which comprised two boundaries. Jack Smith (5) was the only other batsman to score a boundary.
Greg Blewett spent the longest at the crease - 38 minutes - for his four runs.
At 9-24, the Redbacks were still three runs shy of the lowest-ever score in a Pura Cup/Sheffield Shield match set by South Australia against NSW at the SCG in 1955-56.
But a last wicket partnership of five between Dan Cullen and Paul Rofe helped them to avoid setting a new domestic first class low.
By lunch, Blues openers Greg Mail and Phil Jaques had managed to wipe off half the deficit as New South Wales moved safely to 0-12 from eight overs.
