NSW v VIC Robertson Oval Wagga

[bombersfan4000]

Good start to the day by the vics.....................handscombe has come back to earth since the sheild season returned

white out stumped, Stoinis is still there & Christian
with the gun tail still to come, featuring Siddle, Tremin, Boland & Ahmed

Just heard they got a crowd of around 4,000. Top effort that

NSW struggled to be all out for 206 in a slow start to Wagga's first Sheffield Shield match yesterday.

Victoria batted out four overs late in the day and will resume their innings at 0-11 this morning.

On a day where 4670 poured through the gates at Robertson Oval, it was the Victorians that stole the show.

Siddle and Boland are good enough bats at this level for the tail. Unsure why you underrate both of them and Clint McKay with the bat.

Looks like I was well off the mark with it turning into a good batting wicket. Plenty in it of the spinners this morning, Victoria would be wishing they had the extra spinner for the second innings

Stoinis looking steady and has played some good shots.

With hindsight his much highlighted Twenty20 century against Perth was probably the worst thing for him (as well as that mid-season injury)

 

[The Passenger]

Dougeh a hat trick and the Vics in all sorts of problems 9/108.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

What the .... Been out all morning and I come back to this!!!!

Come on Vics!!!! Need a big last wicket partnership!

 

[eth-dog]

So, we're getting a result here by tomorrow methinks.

 

[bird_man]

All I can say is, thank god for Stoinis who looked like he was batting on a different wicket. Unfortunately just ran out of partners and had to throw away his wicket.

Obviously a lot in it for the bowlers, there seems to be some uneven bounce for the quicks and a fair bit of turn for the spinners. A really poor batting performance from Victoria more than anything though.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Did Rogers and Quiney even add to their overnight scores? This is very disappointing...

 

[eth-dog]

Rogers added 2. Good to see a bowlers pitch for a change, but both sides will probably criticize it

 

[grimlock]

With the new scoring system, NSW only edge the first innings points by 0.06

NSW 1.56 Vic 1.50

It was a really good days cricket yesterday, while the scoring was slow there was plenty of action. NSW won the toss and went into bat on what looked like a good batting wicket. We did have some big storms Saturday night though and the humidity was high which made me think the ball might do a bit early.

A couple of early wickets got NSW on the back foot and wicket seemed a little sticky which was making scoring a little difficult. Maddinson and Patterson steadied the ship and were looking like they might go on with it, but a big break through from Christian and a terrific run out from Chris Rogers has the pair back in the sheds in the space of a couple of overs and NSW in trouble again.

Scoring remained slow from then on and just as Henriques and Neville seemed to be getting the blues back in the game Henriques tried to get the scoring going ( hitting Ahmed for a massive 6) but through away his wicket going too hard and being cleaned bowled from Tremain.

The last session belonged to Victoria who smashed through the tail. Siddle was the pick of the bowlers, he beat the bat time and again.

The next 3 days are going to be quite hot, and from what I've been told, they expect it to be a decent wicket to bat on. Will keep you updated today.

My man said the track was no good and was keeping low on Day One and that if it got to Day Four they would be rolling, Day Two thus far would suggest he might be right.

Bad Tracks will kill the concept of playing games like this in the bush.

My boy Henry out for a golden duck.

He's a classic inbetweener dominant at Grade level, not capable it would seem of making the jump to the next level - which is getting bigger.

 

[The Passenger]

NSW now 4/45. Anything could happen here.

I'm all for taking games to the country and think it's a great idea, but from this thread and other articles i've read it sounds like the wicket was very poor for batting.

I love a good bowling track, but this just sounds like it's a poor cricketing wicket which hasn't got the right preperation.

What's the maximum the Vics can chase in the fourth innings on this 'pitch'.

I think less than 250

I think less than 250

I would think that's 100 too many based upon what my mate said yesterday. He reckoned balls were keeping very low late in the day, happy to see what bird_man thinks but this was an experienced cricket watcher who knows his wickets.

It's the most they can chase IMO.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I find things like this on the CA website really annoying, they have a picture of Tremain and the caption says it's Siddle.

Ahmed bowling trash by the looks of the commentary

Way too many for me.
