Sheffield Shield Round 6: Victoria v Western Australia @ Melbourne Cricket Ground

[Art Vandelay_]

I suppose a North fan would know a fair bit about irrelevance.

Excuse me.
Interstate franchises haven’t earned the right to chastise Vics. That’d mean we give a s**t about those irrelevant clubs.

Pipe down son

Just seen the Maxwell dismissal. Poor bastard!

Gotta laugh though, I have been involved in exactly the same style of run-out. I was the bowler. My team mates gave me so much s**t over dropping the catch.

How big was the fine?

Were you maxed out?

I actually saw worse- our spinner dropped a dolly onto the stumps and ran out the opposition batsmen as he was laughing too hard at his mate getting out.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Love you Maddo!!!

There was no fine, I was the captain

trying again to make it about you. Weird.

 

[rippersnipper]

Maddo I love you
Maddo I do
When we're apart
My heart beats only for you!

I love him.....most ardently

 

[Dayan Warna]

Wow
Vics 2nd xi looking good
I guess WA pop gun attack emphasised that.
Let's see how WA go batting after tea tomorrow

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I must admit I didn't like Maddo at all when he was at NSW. Given the nature of the score I take it this wicket is a road ?

Yeah, it’s a pretty standard MCG wicket. Flat.

mitch having a good sook this morning.

 

[Ben B 96]

well done cam

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Big Bear you little legend!

 

[eddiesmith]

Short should be dropped and never picked again, disgraceful

 

[Carbine Chaos]

When is the last time a side went into an MCG match without a front-line spinner?

Ridiculous.

 

[Cleavy]

White justifying why he should have played the previous game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

All we need is Moody taking late wickets to keep a spot in the team. Don't rate.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thank God we recalled Wells.

Remember that time when Hilton played tests. Back to his typical WA spudliness

Cartwright's career Shield numbers, as we speak:

Batting - 40.24 average (4 hundreds, 11 fifties, 5 ducks)
Bowling - 54.50 average, 79.61 strike rate, 4.10 economy rate

It's the idea that he is or should be an all-rounder that's the problem. Probably taken a lot of focus away from his batting.

Interestingly, he's bowled just 11 overs in 5 1/2 Shield matches so far this season. WA is hardly struggling for bowling talent, so they don't really need him to bowl anyway, but perhaps both player and state have realised that he's just not a bowler.

Interestingly, Stoinis' vast improvement as a bowler continues. He is becoming a genuine all-rounder.

 

[Damon_3388]

I didn't even know that Maddinson had changed states, and he opens with a strong century for Victoria. Has boosted his career Shield average from 32.02 to 34.15 with that one innings alone.

Would be funny if it earned him a rapid re-call to the Test team, especially at ol' Finchy's expense.

 

[Ben B 96]

I reckon Patto man is about to crank things up a bit.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Pure dog s**t.

Good win Vic. Looking good for the title.

 

[eddiesmith]

It’s amazing to think Mitch Marsh is in the Australian Test squad...

Anyway was criticism of the MCG pitch a bit premature?
