Sheffield Shield Round 1: Victoria Bushrangers v Queensland Bulls @ MCG

[eth-dog]

7/80. Victoria are killing it. Bring on Ahmed (can't believe I'm saying that).

 

[Zach Package]

could well have been 8. Cutting very lucky to not be given out LWB first ball.

Hastings getting it to jag back a fair bit now

 

[carnthemlions]

Oh great, another collapse.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Wow, big collapse from Qld - game on!

 

[carnthemlions]

OUT! L.B.W. John Hastings to Ben Cutting. Length ball, defending, Play and Miss to short leg.
lol

drunk at the switch

 

[Mkcaptain]

Hastings is getting quite a bit of movement

 

[Zach Package]

Maxy!

 

[eth-dog]

All out for 103 . I told you so western royboy heh.

 

[eth-dog]

First loose shot I've seen Dean play and it goes for 4.

 

[eth-dog]

Who'd be the nightwatchman for Victoria? Siddle?

 

[Cleavy]

maybe need to promote Maxwell or Christian up the order to smash some runs, if the weather is looking iffy

I would 100% support something like:

3. Maxwell
4. Stoinis
5. Wade
6. Christian
7. Hastings

No offense to Handscomb but he's not as aggressive as these guys. Give Quiney the license to go as well.

 

[Van_Dyke]

He bowls rubbish every year, but still manages to take wickets.

Saying that I've heard regularly- "s**t gets wickets."

Aka the usual Mitch Johnson delivery for most of his career

 

[bombersfan4000]

Christian has been bowling absolute trash this year. I can remember one half decent spell so far.

Rubbing just this year I can't remember it ever being good

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I turn up. First thing I see is burns getting out in a very pissweak manner.

When Steketee was making his way to the crease, you hear from the members some flog "Hurry up... Hurry up. I paid top dollar for this!"

It drew a simultaneous laugh from the 200 people in the Olympic stand.

 

[bombersfan4000]

Got to acknowledge Saker here - big call (though I'm 1000% behind him) to drop Finch - repaid in spades by Dean - looks a very solid player with a good technique and they are just mentally disintegrating the Bulls atm.

Saker as coach has already convinced me! Two young batsmen playing in then one Victorian side

New season, new coach and same old QLD Bulls. Vics doing a number on them. They are the far superior team and are showing it. It seems like the twilight declaration paired with Pattinson and poor batting from QLD did the trick.

 

[western royboy]

Two *******s together

 

[Bucking Beads]

It is good to hear Pattinson was back bowling really well and confident. The Bulls players didn't play him well but there is no real shame in getting skittled by him with the new pill. He is in the top 3 best bowlers in the country IMO.

No there should be shame - the wicket was dead as a maggot - Burns and Khawaja looked terrible to be skittled for 100 on that deck is a shambles

Any mug can get you out with the new pill. Pattinson is clearly not a mug either. There is no shame you just like to carry on like a pork chop.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Based on this mornings weather I can't see a lot of play happening today. I hope I'm wrong
