Shield Sheffield Shield Round 8: Queensland v Victoria @ The Gabba

[LukeParkerno1]

Yep. I'm naturally more conservative about these things. Whilst it is rare, it isn't unheard of, especially when the deck starts as a green top, with rain about during the four days. It won't break down.

And the winning well part isn't exactly true. If we win and WA don't we'll only be a few points behind Queensland and roughly the same as WA whether we win by 100 runs or win by 10.

Not as if this old side has Lab, Khawaja, etc in it. You have a very good bowling attack, I did question the batting (didn't expect Dean to have a turnaround) but your bowling is very good. Siddle there helps. I feel in Shield cricket 350 odd is more than enough.

Each to their own, I feel Handscomb will want to win easily. I get what you are saying though mate.

0/51 at tea. I'm starting to get even more nervous.

Wait till they are 0/200 before you do. Still 300+ to get

Great partnership here

Burns batting really well

 

[eddiesmith]

Even Burns is making runs, obviously flattened out completely. Looks like this time Handscombs generosity will bite him in the ass

136 balls to give away a gift like that with a few overs left in the day. Ugh. We might crumble from here

******* burns is playing his one good innings

Similar thoughts about the declaration but that weather forcast for tomorrow does not look good and I fear a draw for this game.

Yeh weather look terrible tomorrow, shame, looks like it was shaping up to be a great finish.

 

[SSwans2011]

Burns keeping us in this, but it does look like a pretty flimsy batting line-up. Hopefully the rain stays away.

Might be time to start the rain dance with Burnsy out...

Burns wasn't happy with the decision either. Thought it was going over the top.

I thought it looked pretty out live

145 with plenty of overs left. Queensland still favourites for me.

There's no batsmen left though!

And the new ball due just after lunch

Not convinced he hit that but oh well

Have watched a few highlights recently and not one batsman has taken their LBW well, bordering on dissent from Cam Green y'day and others recently.

Yeah Green hung around a long time yesterday. You get some shocking decisions in the Shield though. I don't know how anyone can watch it and think cricket without DRS is better.

Green’s decision was a howler

 

[toml]

That's a shame. We have got close enough that I wouldn't mind a loss if it meant we gave the target a shake.

Game on now or will the rain ruin a good finish.If you believe all the BF experts on here who do not rate the QLD batting line up the Vic's are nearly home.And down comes the rain.

 

[eddiesmith]

QLD in the box seat but rain will probably be the winner

 

[11kgm]

I swear the Vics have had no luck this year. We should run through the tail but this bloody run

You mean in the box seat for a draw.lol.Would have thought Vic's would be the favourite to win if the rain had of stayed away,a good game though.
