Can't blame Nevill there, pretty good ball. Need Abbott to not be dumb and stay with Tugga Smith

Abbott's FC average is 13.64, that's Gulbis-esque

 

[samFFC]

Carn lads! Into the long tail!

17/96 down for Vics.

Hey Gulbis just made a double ton...there is hope!

 

[stormee]

Is Abbott supposed to be an allrounder?

Gulbis was always a very good bat top order bat in the District comp and a part time bowler. It is no surprise to followers of Premier Cricket that he got a ton and then turned it into a big one.

Bowling A/R I guess, but meh he is no more than a number 8. O'Keefe is a better bat!

I don't know why but SOK has been batting below Copeland and Abbott all season.

C'mon WA, Smith must be playing another impressive knock. 60-40 NSW at this stage I would say

Supposed to have a shoulder injury that needs surgery that means he can't bat much in the nets (hard to grip the bat)

Smithy is a gun no surprises...joke that we have let it go this far...Carters out slogging, Maddinson being Maddinson....and Pattinson being dumb!

 

[stormee]

Yeah pretty sure Smith is gonna win this for the Blues from here.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Aboott you spud

Yeah Carters fell to the Marcus North trap, spot on with Maddinson haha, Pattinson being 20 will effect his batting mentality in a situation like this.

True but surely you don't sweep an offie when Smith is at the other end!

 

[samFFC]

25 down for Vics still 1 down.

Get SOK and should be game.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need SOK to hang in there. Get it down to 25.

Need Smith out

Given the Marsh overturned decision it's going to be pretty major if NSW lose by under 13 runs

The paper this morning said Blocker overturned it after Marsh held up his bat indicating he had hit it

 

[Aussie_boy]

Bit of a shame Cricket NSW didn't include it on their highlights, I was eager to see it.

 

[The_Reaper]

Surely Blocker must have already thought marsh might have hit it.

Overturning a decision solely on the batsmans word just makes no sense.

It is Blocker...wouldn't put it past the dud!

 

[The_Reaper]

NSW have got this

 

[Aussie_boy]

NSW have got this

Never say never, plus it still looks like you're going to be in the final.

Regardless - that has happened a million times before - we are told to accept the umpires decision and walk off - reviews are only stuffing up the system down the line - we are struggling to attract and retain umpires at lower levels.

We are heading down a dangerous road.
