Matador's Cup Match 14: Victoria vs South Australia

[eth-dog]

SA batting. 5/135 after close to 35. Ferguson top score of 39, Lehmann on 38 n.o. Jon Holland the pick of the bowlers with 2/30 off 8.

 

[eth-dog]

Lehmann gets 50. I think Holland's injured unfortunately for the Vics.

 

[Hazen]

Can't believe Ludeman still persisted as a top order bat.

Seriously, he's poor as a batsman at best.

 

[eth-dog]

Victoria looking at chasing sub-200 here. Not good, I have bad memories of these sort of scores.

 

[JUBJUB]

Has Head got any runs since his opening game double century ?
Seems to be single figures in most games since

Some people were talking about him as a test cricketer after he slogged a few in last years BBL.

 

[eth-dog]

So, 199 to win. Any predictions? Going to go with Victoria by 5 wickets and 6-7 overs to spare.

Agree, his batting is bordering on atrocious. Still one of the best keepers in the country, will say comfortably better than Nevill having seen him closer throughout the Ashes. Would've liked to have seen us actively recruit a back up keeper just so there is some pressure on Ludeman's position, as at the moment he is gifted a game because we have no other options.

 

[eth-dog]

Dan Worrell is really s**t. He can't bowl all 10, can he? Even 5 overs from Head would be better for SA.

You think he's s**t, wait until you see Mennie

So if we keep Richo and Zampa to less than 4 wickets this game is done?

Probably, Zampa and Andrews have been fairly economical this tournament considering the conditions but Maxwell could do some damage to them.

Worrall another wicket

To be fair one of those was LP iirc.

If South Australia win this they make the finals.

Though Victoria suddenly are not so secure with two games to come - including one against NSW

 

[Torz]

What is Ferguson doing bowling and taking wickets?

 

[The_Reaper]

South Australia would be favourites to play NSW in the final now

We have to win a final to get to that stage... which I wouldn't feel confident doing. Oh and win this match.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Please get these last two wickets!!!

 

[Hamez]

Vic's 9/ needing 20 from 17 balls

 

[Hamez]

SA win

 

[Aussie_boy]

Good win, should see us through to the playoffs

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well that's demoralising. Losing to SA. SMH...

 

[The_Reaper]

Good win, should see us through to the playoffs

With the CA XI to go something amazing would have to happen to miss out

 

[Greasyrhys]

Lucky to win that after batting poorly.

Wouldn't put anything past the Redbacks, still not convinced over the current lineup. Cosgrove would be quite handy, so Ludeman could drop down the order where he plays better.
