Shield Round 3: South Australia vs Victoria

[eth-dog]

Sorry forgot you know more than everyone.

Everyone? Nah. You? Easily, not that it's hard.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Perhaps he is playing for the draw.

He always plays this way.

 

[Voice of the G]

He always plays this way.

Well he is out now and hopefully out of the side.Kellaway is batting not much faster so perhaps Victoria are playing for a draw.Will no more on what the Vic,s plans are with Handscomb in.Can not see a Vic victory from this position.

Ashball isn't getting dropped after scoring 52 and surviving 169 balls when they're playing for a draw.

For doing his job? We're clearly playing for the draw.

I am starting to agree with you,if they are playing for the draw he has done his job.

 

[eth-dog]

It's an interesting point in the game. The door is only the slightest bit ajar for SA. I reckon we need to be 3 down when they take the new ball before they agree to call it.

You are three down. Do you mean 4?

 

[eth-dog]

You are three down. Do you mean 4?

I know. And no, I mean 3. Four down probably pushes it back 5-10 overs.

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah now they have momentum.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The man with the comb hands only made 1 and 8 this match

Handscomb and Rogers have been disappointing this match

 

[eth-dog]

Well we're in deep trouble. Simply must bat the overs now.

 

[t_94]

Everyone? Nah. You? Easily, not that it's hard.

Are you the Vic cricket equivalent of a cheer squad member?

 

[eth-dog]

Are you the Vic cricket equivalent of a cheer squad member?

Nah. I'm a CV member and know a couple of former players.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Jeez. Kellaway and Captain Clueless as the last real resistance here.

Nah. I'm a CV member and know a couple of former players.

Not sure when but t_94 turned rather bitter lately. I'm on his shit list.... somehow... For something, I'm sure.

As for Drunkcat dude, we're playing poorly and we need better players. But JFM ain't it.
Was let go for a reason. White ball cricketer.

 

[eth-dog]

32 overs left. New ball probably comes at a reasonable time for us if these two survive to it. If they face 300 balls between them (about another 20 overs) we should be okay.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Chris Rogers. Open your eyes and get Sutherland out of the top 7.
And find a new captain also.

 

[Cleavy]

middle order have really hurt us in this game.

 

[eth-dog]

Biggest problem is that players who failed in their jobs in both innings are Merlo (last chance saloon), Handscomb (been good first two games) and Rogers (same as Handscomb) and all the others have had one good innings.

 

[eth-dog]

We'll be facing far more than the minimum amount of overs here.

 

[Moonwatcher]

SA still a chance. Kellaway doing a good job though.

 

[eth-dog]

That wicket just keeps it alive. 35 minutes to survive.

 

[eth-dog]

****. Well batted Kell. SA will do this.

 

[Cleavy]

now we're in trouble
