Shield Sheffield Shield Round 4: Victoria vs Western Australia, Karen Rolton Oval, 8-11/11/2020 @ 11:30 AM AEDT

WA have taken out any chance of either side winning here. Terrible captaincy

If sides want to win outright, how about they declare after they face 90 overs and then, assuming
the other side will, that makes a game out of it?

Pretty sure Victoria had only lost 1 wicket up until that stage so they could've really put the foot down
around the 70 over mark.

Once a side bats for way over the 90 overs, it makes it hard for the side batting second to win IMO.

Why would you pick 90 overs as the arbitrary number?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

I actually didn't mind Handscomb declaring when he did. Just needed 2 captains to be thinking the same thing and obviously they haven't.

Never know Victoria might collapse NSW style.

Surely there is not going to be a batting collapse on this road of a pitch

Maybe your captain shouldn't have put Victoria into bat lol.

You are the one that wanted a declaration 100 behind basically though has to be some middle ground

Most likely not. I was kinda taking the piss out of NSW tbh.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Now you’ll get some declaration batting that will make some happy lol

Too late she cried

Regardless of the number, make it the number of overs bowled in a day.

You seem to want a side to declare 100 behind and then end up chasing 350 plus on the last day.
Put some onus on the side who 1/360.

To be fair it’s NSW 2nds playing

To be fair to WA, if they were playing NSW they’d now be on target for an innings victory!

Why that though? 100 overs is the cut off for bonus points, why not that? We declared after 119 overs, where there were 265 overs left in the game.

Lol, there are 6 Australian test players in that team...Missing 4 doesn’t make it a 2nd XI

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Barring WA going 100% SA - we should be the only team that can win from here!

Neither side can win from here.

Whatever, start 20 minutes early and you have to bowl 100 over in a day.
If you bowl the opposition out before the 100 overs, you get their overs.

On flat decks, you're not going to get that many outright wins when a side bats for 119 overs.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Good to see Frankston Peninsula players Scott Boland and
Jon Holland making up Victoria’s bowling attack

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Not sure why Green isn't opening.

Even if it is for his 4 overs

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Typical Vics, trotting around at 2 an over.

Make a game of it cowards.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

How can you complain about WA. Complain to the curator, another crap pitch. The pitches are becoming so batter friendly it's almost impossible to get a result with declarations.
If you want results then you need a challenging batting wicket, one where the captains want to bowl on. It's not rocket science.

Games dead why would Victoria bother trying to score quick

Spirit of the game.

WA doing their best to make a game of this. Keep running in champions.

Game was dead before it started

 

[danielnajdek]

Damn that back foot drive.

Reminds me so much of Ponting.

No surprise the WA v VIC thread contains a heap of whinging.
