I’ll be keeping an eye on this one, 2 strong teams with some young guns and experienced campaigners. Hope it’s a ripper. Weather looks perfect

 

[year of the roo]

Perry rested, Eliiott in. Vics batting first.

 

[jannissary]

will be an interesting watch. keen to see how dixon and kelleway go against hazlewood/starc. might be the time for kelleway to really let loose.

Only early days but good start by Dixon.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Not sure why Dixon was confused about possibly the most plum LBW this season.

Going down leg side perhaps,an edge but looked out to me.

 

[Voice of the G]

A good session by both sides.Hopefully Kellaway can get a big score here,a future test cricketer at this stage of his cricket career.

Clipping leg stump at best.

Most plumb this season, this must be someone’s first cricket match of the year

Perfect yorker, would have hit middle and leg.

and starc has gone and injured him!

Does not look injured tp me,a good 50 by Kellaway against some of our test bowlers.

Yup, saw out the first session and took the shine off the ball. Good solid innings, shame he didn’t go on with it.

 

[eth-dog]

Dumb Sammy. Already had 22 off the over

 

[ioppolo]

Salzmann subbed out, that's a bummer. He's been a surprise packet this season

 

[StillAtLarge]

Handscomb seems to be crunching out runs every time I check a Vic scorecard. They're always at a slow rate but I imagine they're gutsy as he's often coming in when Vics have lost early poles

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wow! The wheelie bin with gloves did something with the bat.

An early Christmas miracle!

It’s really the perfect pie chucking attack for him to play against.

Just a shame the kids got awestruck against those pies.

He’s upped the pace a bit now, looks like he wants to see NSW bat a few overs this arvo

 

[eth-dog]

Looking at this deck, you'd want 350+. Looks great for batting.

In a test I’d 100% agree, but Victoria have had a bit of success putting teams in at the end of the day and getting g a quick wicket or 2. I’ll be interested to see how they approach it.

That's when you're entering a second innings. I think it's more about getting as many BP as possible as that cost a spot in the final last year

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Looks flat. Set up perfectly for a Smith ton tomorrow

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Lazy from O'Neill.

Has a bit of Neser about him as a bat. One day he'll score FC centuries. Handy bowling all-rounder.

Who did they replace him with?
