Not liking how they're putting leg byes and byes as dots on screen

Bowled too full, finally Agar hammers away at a good length and gets rewarded

Bright start for the good guys.

Maxi playing at the expense of the incredibly unlucky McLure which means we have the deepest batting line up we have fielded in yonks.

Winning the toss was the big win here

oof Harris just gone!

Par here here I reckon is 340.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

If Ash gets a start today I would really like to see him take more singles and turn the strike over.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

It is no cure for the disgrace of yesterday in BanIndia, but there is just great delight in watching a hard fought Shield game.

The quality commentary is such that I don’t have to mash the mute button.

Dean lucky to survive that LB shout

Is it just me or does Doggett seem to spend too much time off the park?

Buckingham should have opened honestly. He's better with the new ball than Agar

Hmmn agree, though Buckingham has plodded thus far.

Lehmann still in the team, Kelly omitted. Bullshit selectors.

He did play 4 matches in a row prior to the T20 invasion and was in the team last match v WA, so that was 5 matches in a row. No idea why he's not playing today.

Poor knock from Ash today. He must learn to play with more intent.

 

[2notepockets]

Dean basically bowled twice in the last 2 balls of the session

I think I posted at end of last SAussie game that Agar and Johnson would make a rather brutal opening attack. Well I see Johnson has joined the spiders attack, in what, his first Shield game since about 2018 if memory serves. Australia is crying out for a fast lefty for the future. Spence may be the man.

This deck looks like assisting spin going on the bare patches both ends of the pitch. Has the curator been watching his Indian counterpart.

This is his FC debut. Only ever played List A for the Redbacks before this.

Pretty happy with 3fa at lunch. I assume Maxwell to bat 6 despite the app having him down at 11….

Jellybacks on top. Really a sad knock from Trav. Agar is an ordinary Grade cricket bowler.

Short will fail as well.

why does Vic Cricket continue to select these blokes?

Yep, if he can't get it away, he has to learn to rotate the strike.
Looks like he has a mindset of just not getting out.

Early days but a career strike rate of 28 won't get it done.

Mathias will have a story to tell about his first class debut. On a plane at the time the match started!

And how many matches have started with the 12th man keeping?!

 

[hotchilli]

Surely going down leg there.

 

[danielnajdek]

That's a horrible decision.

 

[Cotchin 9]

Wtf, missing another set.

 

[willba_victory]

grim for Maxwell. Thought that was sailing down leg

Thought he kept well from the snippets I saw.

Looked straight to me.
