Shield Game 5: Victoria vs Western Australia, Junction Oval, Monday 17th-Thursday 20th October, 10:30 AEDT

[HODGEYROAD]

Marcus Harris doing his thing at State Level. Yeah it's a shame we have to use the Junction oval as opposed to the MCG.

 

[eth-dog]

Great catch. Harris didn't do much wrong there

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Runs in Victoria should be ignored.

It's like Adelaide oval of yesteryear

The only reason Ryan Harris didn't have a longer career was because he spent too long bowling on featherbeds.

In Brisbane?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

In Brisbane?

In adelaide

 

[Torz]

Paris injured mid-over and leaving the field.

 

[eth-dog]

That spat out of the rough. Great catch too.

 

[eth-dog]

Hank is batting extremely well here

 

[eth-dog]

Pretty much have to declare as soon as we pass the follow on mark. Unless Whiteman agrees to not enforce it.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You could land a boeing 747 on this pitch.

 

[Torz]

Less than zero chance of a result. Really disappointing deck this.

Frustrating is how I'd describe it. The rough is there, just needed to break down that little bit quicker.

 

[eth-dog]

Who's WA's 13th man?

 

[Torz]

Who's WA's 13th man?

Kelly or Fanning

 

[eth-dog]

Kelly or Fanning

Fanning then. Was asking in case Bancroft was concussed.

Take as many points as you can and run.
No point manufacturing a result on this

No more points available.

Declare now Pete. No point staying out there.

Pass our score then declare?

 

[11kgm]

What a shame Vics should have won the first game and this one would have been better not being played on the M1

 

[eth-dog]

Pass our score then declare?

I'd rather declare around 100 behind and put it on WA.

 

[Westend]

Well its a road but I still think we should of done better with the ball even with Paris going down again

Concerned that jhye has done nothing so far and its a bit hard when the umps don't give it out hitting middle

Well done to both Harris and Handscomb.

Harris will always put his name up but I just dont see him as a test cricketer IMO....he just cannot take that next step up to test level....Our Hick

Very happy with Handscomb started this season off well.....if he can continue and have a 600 run plus summer he is on track for a test berth

 

[11kgm]

You know it's road when Harper scores runs

Shes a draw unless WA fold in the second innings

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Surely if Sam Harper gets a hundred both sides agree the match should be stricken from the record?

 

[eth-dog]

He's no D'Arcy Short.

In fairness, he's now 25 and the penny seems to have dropped from what I've heard

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Jeez even Harps is tonning up.

 

[eth-dog]

Not a fan of Bruce Eva's commentary honestly.
