Played some really good shots, doesn’t look like a typical bunny batting at 10.

In his last 14 innings on MyCricket, he's averaging 11 with a high score of 38. Saves his best for the big stage!

Piss poor effort WA none for 188 and then to only manage 386 wow.

Let the door well and truely ajar for the Vics to win this.

Polite version ......... very disappointing .

The second new ball started hooping and doing a bit. Vics bowled well. Game on.

Still filthy at Cartwright.

Bowling attack normally pretty strong with depth .....interesting game now with Bonus points system also .

7/96 is some collapse, but the conditions have to come into it. Great day for batting yesterday, made the most of it. If we get wickets today, it’ll probably show the conditioned are helping the bowlers, and the collapse can be slightly more accepted. If they finish the day only a few down, then I’ll jump on the outrage wagon.

 

[darksquare]

Joel Paris still a superb swing bowler when fit. He'll be a handful in these conditions.

So ...

... Bounce Pucovski y/n?

 

[MIKE85]

Ha, I was gunna post similar and say, surely you bounce him? Fair game if he’s out there

 

[ioppolo]

Abbot didn't stop bowling bouncers after hitting Hughes. Bounce Pucovski for all he's worth, see if he's learnt to play a short ball.

 

[MIKE85]

He’d be fully aware that players will target him, so I’m sure he’s put in plenty of time working on the short ball

 

[MIKE85]

Also, do we know what the target is for the BP??

248, plus 10 runs per wicket lost.

 

[RookiePick]

No early breakthroughs.

Carn boys!

 

[FKASC]

Useless campaigners

 

[FKASC]

Keeping that RR down at least

 

[new breed]

Pucovski is some player if stays well , for Australia too ...... get him out then they tumble maybe !

 

[ashley12]

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Breakthrough!

c Wyllie b Hardie

The Hard Willie combo.

 

[Dazzler9]

Pucovski gorrrrn!!

 

[Tugga27]

Pucovski gorrrrn!!

Huge wicket!

 

[Ochre]

Do Haddin and Lehmann ever have any strategic insight beyond 'they need to keep moving the game forward'?

So as far as draw equations sit, at each FOW Victoria need to be:

1/258

2/268

3/278

4/288

5/298

6/308

7/318

8/328

9/338

10/348+

To overtake on BP

Thanks for that kane249 thats much appreciated, now I don't have to take my shoes and socks off to work out the calculations.

Oh probably "back yourself in" and "you have to play your natural game" will get a run at some point.

 

[The Passenger]

Bonus Point target is now 131 off 42 overs. Add 10 runs for every wicket. Without early wickets WA will be in trouble on the BP.

Couldn't find what the story is if the match is draw and teams get even BP's. Shared title or home team. Hopefully home team. I've never liked the idea of shared titles.

Would be good to see a tight finish. Queensland falling over the line by 3 wickets in 11/12 is the last tight one. Most of the rest were over bar the shouting halfway through day three. 2014/15 WA had a good shot against Vic, 2015/16 SA gave themselves an outside chance of beating Vic the only two exceptions.
