Tassie gonna spank us here

How does Maddinson keep getting a game, can’t remember last time he got a half decent score


Wheels have definitely fallen off for the Vics in the last 2 games

 

[sherb]

Victoria now 7-83, all wickets bar one caught behind or in the cordon.

Bird 13.3-7-9-4.

 

[11kgm]

She's a green wicket surely

Think the only reason Maddinson is in the side is because we need some experienced players there to help all these young blokes,Dean is another for the same reason and should not be there.

He's had a bad season but he has credits in the bank from the last 4 years since moving down.

Lets hope so as it is a poor batting performance by Victoria at the moment but whether that in experienced attack they have can produce the same results.

If so he has used up all his credits.

 

[ioppolo]

Swinging around corners at the MCG?

 

[crows dude]

So Wade not keeping

So Wade not keeping

Tassie has three keepers in the XI plus a keeper as 12th man.

They seem to prefer Doran as first choice now that Paine has been relegated to 12th man.

 

[gordo2016]

Three ducks in a row for Dean. Seems to make a score when he is about to be dropped. Then the cycle repeats itself. Run of low scores, something decent and then another run of failures. Time to move on from him I think.

Wow. Paine now can’t make the 11. Captain of the Australian test team 12 months ago.

I think it's safe to say the shield will be between WA, QLD and TAS this season.

Curious to see how Tassie go against WA next week. WA firm favourites for me.

Bit of Dizzy Gillespie about young Elliott mainly the hair, but nice action too.

QLD play WA. Tassie have the bye.

 

[BGman]

Doran getting red ball runs for a change.

 

[largebus]

Rain forecast for late tomorrow and Sunday, Tas may need to bowl the vics out fast.

 

[Voice of the G]

Surely Dean has used up all his credits now.

 

[eth-dog]

If we can manufacture a 200 run lead we might be a chance

Lets hope your man Maddinson can put some credits back in the bank.A good start so far for him.

 

[sherb]

Bird match figures 27-15-27-7.

 

[largebus]

Maddinson is so frustrating, gets one good start scoring at a decent clip then throws it away
