So, the Mighty Vics are 2/111 with young Puc playing well. We need to set them a target well above 350. Still a bit of cricket left in this. So, c'mon N37 I thought you'd be fully engaged.

Could be a great day at the junction oval

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The NSW Spivs have had a good start to the day Bedders. I think this could go to the wire.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Number 37 might reappear as his NSW Spivs get closer to a win.

I must say I am riveted by the Shield, even when the mighty Vics are not doing well.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Terrific win for the big V.

You bloody ripper!!

Well done Vics, you managed to win a final without cheating. *jokes*

What a great game it could have been with both sides at full strength , instead of playing a series that no one even bothers going to watch

Disappointing from you N37. Smith and Warner play for your mob. Oh right, they were still suspended for ,,,, that's right. Cheating.

Still you should be proud of your mob who played a tough and fair game.

Whataboutism.
Warner/Smith cheated therefore it is OK if the Vics cheat?

Blues capitulated in the first innings.
Harris' classy first innings won the game.

I think a number of the bowlers stood out for both sides. Copeland and Conway for NSW and Pattinson and Siddle all had games to remember. Pattinson got swing and seam at speed to remind everyone why he should be on the Ashes Tour.

Agree about Harris. His innings played when conditions were very tough showed he was a class above the others. Patterson also showed better resolve in the second dig and again showed his talent. I thought Hughes also showed great resolve.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

It would be terrific if we had a red ball match between full strength teams from both States.

Hughes, Warner, Patterson, Smith, Sangha, Edwards, Nevill (c), Cummins, Copeland, Starc, Lyon (12th Hazelwood)

Harris, Dean, Pucovski, Maddinson, Handscomb(c), Maxwell, Harper (k), Pattinson, Tremain, Boland, Holland (12th Finch)

Haze has been in poor form and Copeland deserves his place after a stellar season.

No place for Finch. Others are better against the red ball. Siddle is stiff.

Faulkner thing causing offence is pc gone crazy

Dean Jones dead, 2020 can **** off

 

[RW]

Just heard the news, he was only 59 too

 

[Mister B]

Well that bowling performance from Cummins and Hazelwood was nothing short of ****ing glorious.

And here was I chuckling away about that run out on Day 1.

 

[Mister B]

A fitting end to the test with a dropped catch off an Indian going for 6.

 

[bedford]

I've had to do some mod stuff here. Can y'all give it a rest? It's holiday season and I'm busy watching Australia flop in the cricket...

Cricket thread ?

Pucovski expected to be available for the third Test apparently

See bedford I posted this in the right thread!

As was I.

Agreed on the batting, no intent to put pressure on the bowler. Ashwin allowed to bowl whatever he wants all series, no one came down the pitch to mess with his length at all.
