Shield Tasmania v Victoria. Bellerive Oval, Feb 8-11.

[BGman]

Tassie is in this match up to their neck at lunch on final day with three of Vic top order back in the sheds and still 210 to win in two sessions. My danger man is young Harry Dixon who played a mature knock in f/i. I saw him destroy the Poms in the Junior Ashes so he has both gears to call on. May well be a moot point as will Hobart's fickle weather have the final say.

 

[Drunkcat]

The end for Merlo in this Vic.Shield team you would think.

He is like Travis Dean has about another 10 shield games.

 

[Voice of the G]

Handscomb is the key wicket required for Tasmania.

 

[eddiesmith]

Handscomb and Elliott making short work of the target with the sun out and some very, very ordinary bowling and fielding from Tassie

Sam is definitely proving to be a better batsman than Victoria’s no3, a list that now includes all 21 other players in this game.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Rogers looking very loose. Dropped multiple times in single figures.
No foot movement.

....... and gone next ball.

Perhaps time Rogers is dropped as well and time bring Peake in.

 

[BGman]

I missed what happened to Neil-Smith. I dunno if Silk just doens't want to rely on McMillan in such a big spot.

Looked like a torn hammie. MacMillan is a good prospect and is capable of handling this responsibility even on his debut..

 

[eth-dog]

Just got home from work. Nervous as hell. Carn the Vics

A 4th bowler would be pretty handy.

Did his hammy running into bowl yesterday evening

The live streaming needs to add a target to the score so you can keep track.

And how many overs left

 

[eth-dog]

Gobsmacked Macmillan hasn't bowled. Did he injure himself too?

 

[Drunkcat]

21 runs needed 9 down and still need 21 but we are all out.

 

[eth-dog]

Tassie ahead now. All on Handscomb and O'Neill I think

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The real captain is still there. The man appointed failed another test when the going was tough.

 

[eth-dog]

Tassie gonna win this. Siddle needs to face out the over.

 

[ptrg]

Feet clearly touched the rope

After. Doesn't matter anyway.

Massive by Tassie. Well bowled. Especially by Elliott and Bell. Harper, Sutherland and O'Neill's shots were poor to say the least

 

[eth-dog]

Great game of cricket. We probably should have won that but only one player in our middle order stood up. Rogers, Merlo, Dixon (gets a Mulligan due to being his debut), Harper all went out to poor shots too.

 

[Hamingja]

Radhakrishan was the bloke that bowls with both hands right, and he doesn't even bowl anymore?

 

[Cleavy]

dammit

 

[Saints4ever]

Great win Tassie.

The season is still alive.

 

[Gak Attack]

Good win by Tassie with a very average looking side on paper. Thought they were going to blow it on multiple occasions.

 

[BGman]

Vital win Tassie, still alive but have to keep winning.

average looking side on paper.

Yeh, their brittle middle order hurts them often. So often the top 3 and bowlers drive their matches.

 

[jannissary]

impeccable innings from weatherald there.
