Vics need a few wins to climb up the ladder. Nudge nudge wink wink, Mr Curator.

Anyone know why Shaun Marsh isn't playing? Injured again?

If you wanted to be really charitable, you could say that they’re trying to abbreviate them all to 3 characters, which would explain the weird WAU and SAU. But then the Queensland one makes no sense, because literally everyone abbreviates it as QLD.

Hurt his finger last Shield game against SA.

Our Shield side has lost its mojo.

Edit: bit of a greentop apparently, so maybe we're doing ok?

Would have been doing better if Stoinis didn’t get run out. Bird is a pretty handy bowler at this level

I'm guessing but I think you've answered your own question.

Nervous 90s for Inglis

Nah, he's got this.

My curse is lifted.

He got run out in the first innings last match too. Someone needs to remind him that these matches are 4 days, not 20 overs each side.

Wasn't his fault today.
He got burnt by Inglis.

I remain baffled as to why sides won’t send out one or even two night watchmen when they have 2-4 overs to negotiate to open their innings, but then they’ll use the night watchman when one of their openers gets knocked over.

You have to trust the openers, that is their job after all to negotiate tricky conditions as the front line

Maxwell out for 5

And a duck in the second innings. Probably should have stayed hatting at 11

TBF, he got a shocking LBW in the first innings.

Then why not trust the number 3, whose job it is to come out and face the music following an early wicket?

 

[Ochre]

Why send out a nightwatchman when you could send out a nighthawk though?

Trust the plan A, but revert to plan B if that doesn't work

 

[kane249]

Why send out a nightwatchman when you could send out a nighthawk though?

Or a Gillespie

As someone else said, why send in the night watchman at 3 then? I understand not using the nightwatchman and I would understand using them as an opener, but to me if you’re going to send in a tail order batsman in the second over after your opener got knocked over, then why not just send him out to open?

 

[Ochre]

If you send two nightwatchman out to open, your halving the length of your tail and greatly increasing the chance a recognised bat is left stranded at the end. I do think sending one out isn't a bad idea though
