*If unfit, probably replaced by either Sam Harper or Jake Fraser-McGurk. Went with the one spinner for Victoria due to there being a bit of rain over the most of the past week in Sydney so there'll probably be a bit of juice in the track.

Thursday: 19-27, 1-4 mm
Friday: 20-27, 0-2 mm

Vic batting looks light

Vic batting looks light

Pretty much the same top 7 as the first two games, but yeah it is a much better attack in comparison

 

[Mkcaptain]

Victoria win the toss and bowl

 

[andrewmillman]

Good to hear Chippers commentating. He was great on abc grandstand over the summer.

 

[eth-dog]

Is the stream playing up for anyone else?

 

[Mkcaptain]

Patto gets Larkin LBW. I'm looking forward to the Smith vs Patto battle

 

[eth-dog]

That was hitting the top of leg stump.

 

[kenneje]

Vic batting looks light

We'll miss Puc hugely.

 

[corbies]

Pattinson just in a different class to Larkin. Was always a fair chance he'd get him.

 

[eth-dog]

Scotty is bowling too short here.

 

[eltrain]

Scotty is bowling too short here.

Getting some decent shape when he pitches it up

 

[eth-dog]

Getting some decent shape when he pitches it up

I don't think he's a new ball bowler honestly.

 

[eth-dog]

I thought Perry would bowl from the other end honestly

 

[Mkcaptain]

Decent scalp for Perry!

 

[Seedsfan]

Carn the Vics

 

[k31th]

Perry rolls Steve Smith for 7... good ball cutting away

 

[eth-dog]

Huge wicket. These two aren't in form but they love playing us.

 

[11kgm]

And again i say how is Patto a worst option then Starc. If we had Patto this summer we would have won

 

[k31th]

Sutherland will be pumped that was given out; looked high to me

 

[Seedsfan]

Why isn’t Warner playing?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Sutherland will be pumped that was given out; looked high to me

And possibly outside the line of off. Doubt in a couple of areas. Lucky.

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah, didn't look adjacent to me.

 

[k31th]

cracking delivery from Pattinson there to bowl Hughes

 

[Mkcaptain]

A perfect fast bowlers wicket to get Hughes
