State Victoria - The Mighty Bushrangers

[eth-dog]

Because the Australian selectors want Dan Christian to play...

We have an opening in the top 6 regardless. You would have thought he'd be the perfect player to fill that role

Holland on the comeback trail.

That pretty much telegraphs White will replace Handscomb. Good.
Dean must score this game, in a bad rut.

Oh for *s sake. The kid is as talented as anyone.

A real shame, I noticed he was captain for the game. Talk about heaping pressure on someone, just allow him to focus on his batting.

Yeah, Short should have been captain IMO

These guys are going to end up playing 6 straight days of cricket for some. T20's Saturday and Sunday and now this four day match

That at least 6 head knocks for Will Pucovski is the past 12 months.

Progress score:

Vic 2/100
Vines 51*
Short 21
Pucovski 5 ret hurt
Underwood 0
Thomson 13*

Vines simply has to play the next Shield game. It's a bit of a joke that he's playing this with the season he's having.

I haven't really seen the kid bat but there must be something in his technique that is awry if he continually gets sconed

Harper out first ball. Just hasn’t been the same since that hit to the head

6/228
Short 21
Pucovski 5 ret hurt
Underwood 0
Harper 0
Holland 5
Smyth 42
Thomson 21
Vines 118*

118 of 228... This guy is a genuine gun.

Does anybody know why 15 players were named? Maybe Short, Vines and Pucovski are only playing 2 days as well because they're in line for the Vics (and concussed obviously)?

concussion sub? Holland and Muirhead only playing 2 days

 

[ROOTA#6]

Any updates on how the young bloke is travelling?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It’s now very very simple. Dean has to score big this match.
The marker has been put down.

Article talks about his history with concussion.

Tas 4/114
Koop 3/51 but has been expensive.
Holland hardly used so far.

Ahmed stiff to go straight out I reckon

Ahmed stiff to go straight out I reckon

Maybe, he's bowled much better this year, but his bad days are horrible nowadays (see second dig vs Tassie) and we like playing the one spinner, especially with Maxy and potentially Short in the XI.

 

[Cleavy]

who is the likely 12th man?

You'd assume it'd be Vines, unless Maxwell wants to bat at 4 and then either White or Short will be out.

Siddle needs to take wickets this game. If he doesn't I hope Koop, Sutherland or Coleman get a game next game.
