Another decent Phillippe catch there

If we get the next wicket for 5 runs or under, we cannot lose under the BP system.

 

[DanWCE]

Oh boy

 

[Dazzler9]

Vics have knocked back a few singles here. Like last year, I don't think their game awareness around the BP is quite there.

You beauty! Let's bat for 4 days now lads!

How often does an opener carry their bat and not even make 50?

I did it once. But we were bowled out for 72.

And I ran out four partners.

I’m sure it is rare but I would think most of the time when it happens it’s because the batting side completely collapses and doesn’t even get to 100. Has to be incredibly rare to carry the bat for more than a day’s play and not reach 50.

Unheard of.

So how does the bonus points system work if it’s a draw?

If BPs are a draw you mean? I'm assuming the host side wins the Shield.

But for all I know there could be some provision that says the team with a first innings lead is declared the winner, but I would doubt it, since it would quite often mean that scores are level anyway.

And I ran out four partners.

And put the mocca on the other 5 no doubt.

I sent some jitters through the changerooms, that's for sure.

We lost outright and I was the last wicket to fall in the second dig. Memories.

Considering we've rolled them for 195 before drinks on day 2, I'd hope WA aren't thinking about what happens in a draw tbh

Yes, my thoughts too. Unlikely this game is a draw, barring weather. But it does mean that the Vics might have to do something crazy in the second innings.

Chands going to have to up his SR to 40 odd

 

[THE A5]

Think most boundaries win if it’s a draw guys

Whiteman getting out just before lunch was sub-optimal.

Need Banners to go large 1st innings.
