JLT Cup 2018/19 - Goodbye CA XI

[eddiesmith]

It'd be such a hollow competition to win these days, like the NAB/Wizard cup used to be.

Last decent competition worth winning was 2010/11, the last full H&A series

Interestingly the only Victorian player from that game that will also line up on Wednesday for the Vics is the Big Show with Matty Wade to switch sides.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

At least they are getting some competitive match practice.

 

[eddiesmith]

Bit slow start but hopefully Clive stays on and our r/r will grow quite rapidly

 

[HBF]

Solid start by the Vics. Just on 5 runs an over.

 

[eddiesmith]

How unaustralian to take off Clive after just 2 overs

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Oops, just started watching and Harris is out

 

[eddiesmith]

Surely the Big Show comes in next?

 

[BrownYouGun]

Vics choking hard

 

[eddiesmith]

Maddinson is just a hack

Pretty good crowd in here for a weekday, probably bigger than the Redbacks game last week

 

[Aussie_boy]

That may be the worst ball ever bowled.

 

[Torz]

That may be the worst ball ever bowled.

What happened?

 

[eddiesmith]

What happened?

Sandhu bowled a head high full toss nearly off the pitch down leg side

 

[eddiesmith]

Sandhu becomes the 2nd worst bowler to take 3 wickets here this week

It is funny to think Victoria’s 6th or 7th spinner took 3 wickets yet Tassies no1 could only get 4 overs today

 

[corbies]

Sandhu bowled a head high full toss nearly off the pitch down leg side

Or as the Cricket Australia text commentary described it:

No ball Gurinder Sandhu to Matt Short. Short, to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Wade.

Yep, thanks. I can really picture what happened from that.

 

[Aussie_boy]

What happened?

Apologies for taking up so much space.

 

[eddiesmith]

If Victoria lose today it will be their worst loss in their history

7 wickets to Sandhu, every one of them should give up batting

 

[Aussie_boy]

7fa and a hat-trick if you don't mind.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Just a lazy 7 for Sandhu.

Batsmen contributed as much as his bowling, but it’s in the book.

 

[Kyptastic]

Just a lazy 7 for Sandhu.

Batsmen contributed as much as his bowling, but it’s in the book.

I've bowled plenty of great spells for no wickets and some absolute dross for a handful. Reckon it evens out over time.

 

[HBF]

Some good late hitting by Short.

 

[Torz]

Or as the Cricket Australia text commentary described it:



Yep, thanks. I can really picture what happened from that.

Nothing can beat the commentary from a couple of years ago, where Cameron White played and missed and got caught at deep extra cover.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

First chance I've had to watch any of this comp, good to see Victoria in the final.

GO NICKNAMELESS VICS!!!!

 

[eddiesmith]

Lol

 

[HBF]

Maddo strikes again.

 

[eddiesmith]

Maybe even the umpire is bored, finally giving an LBW

****ing gutless effort by Tassie, have a bloody crack, there ain’t any points for batting out your overs!!!
