Shield Western Australia Vs Victoria @ WACA, March 14th-17th 2023

[Adelaide Hawk]

What sort of form is Short in? 58, 70, 119, 104 and whatever he gets today.

 

[eth-dog]

A dropped catch, a close LBW turned down and a missed stumping in the last two overs. We're on fire.

EDIT and now a potential nick not given....sigh

Close?

1. He hit it
2. Clearly going over

And the nick was very obviously a bump ball

 

[eth-dog]

I'm still not convinced Moody and Gannon are better bowlers than Hilton Cartwright

Very convinced now that they definitely aren't.

Good call this with the way this innings is going

I'm probably his biggest fan bowling wise haha

 

[RedTinMania]

Fair enough

Says a lot about Moody and Gannon though, one bowls absolute hot garbage most of the time and the other I wouldn't even call a bowler in the first place

 

[largebus]

Hilton cartwright, specialist bowler, now leading the side in wickets

 

[danielnajdek]

Dodgy LBW.

 

[eddiesmith]

We really do only have 2 batsmen atm

 

[Cleavy]

so Qld still ahead of us on the table?

 

[ioppolo]

so Qld still ahead of us on the table?

Victoria have overtaken QLD

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So what do the Vics have to do to make the final from here ?

Queensland lose we win and we are in

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Queensland lose we win and we are in

What If QLD draw ?

 

[4Seasons]

That Short is having a great season for the Vozzies, really cashing in on his red hot form. Very impressive.

Is there a reason Hardie hasn’t bowled?

 

[eddiesmith]

so Qld still ahead of us on the table?

Victoria have overtaken QLD

But QLD still have 4 wickets in hand and 50 overs to make about 120 runs and they’ll go back in front.

 

[largebus]

What If QLD draw ?

Vic got 1.98 bonus points from the first innings, QLD have 0.6 at 6/180 in their first innings with still 50 overs to get bonus points. If they start scoring fast tomorrow they could overhaul the Vics in the event Vics don't win.
Bottom line, Vics need to push for a result

I gather that the live ladder has the Vics 1.02 points in front. Therefore the Queenslanders will need to make 303 (or 302 to tie!) by the 100th over to move to outright second. However with the games in progress the Vics are much more likely to secure the outright result than Queensland which should ensure they make the Final.

Although Tassie losing from here wouldn’t even be their biggest collapse this year…

 

[largebus]

That Bancroft wicket probably sealed our fate

 

[ioppolo]

Trash performance. Better turn up next week.

Then W,A will throw the game eve more, as they want to play the Vics not Qld in the final

Doubt they are throwing it. Aside from playing their B grade bowlers.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Vics just gotta have WA 5 or 6 down by the time scores are level.

 

[eth-dog]

Win and we're home
