Would love to see the kiwis in the final, and for them to take down India. And a special bonus would be the Saffas losing another semi final. Some great traditions can continue in coming days.

Williamson is a beautiful batsman and Ravindra is not far behind him.

Saffers say: Ccccckkkkkkkkkhhhhhhh. Chhk. Chhhhkkk.

Once more NZ. You can do it. I know you can.

I'd give us a good chance if it was played in Pakistan. Harder gig in Dubai
But top order batsmen in form and spinners bowling ok so a reasonable chance

I'm backing the Kuwis.

India couldn't handle the Kiwi spinners in their Test Series at home.

Its us handling their spinners that worry me ! That new leg spinner reminds me of Anil Kumble but turns it.
We couldn't pick him last time we played them

All shield games start on Thursday

Beat SA and hope NSW beat us, or both win/draw and play us next week

 

[Junk yard]

S.Konstas is a talent but today's shield dismissal shows it'll be a long road, terrible shot.

Sheffield Shield is an amazing game. Vics take first innings. What a game.

Sheffield Shield is an amazing game. Vics take first innings. What a game.

They shat the bed early on being 1/106 or so to lose 5 wickets.
Fergus with 5/51 and Scotty with 4, keep us in the game.

Harry Dixon on 70 not out off 84 when the Vics were in quite a spot of bother. Looks an exceptional talent with a good head on his shoulders.

 

[Groucho]

The Vics were 2-160 and then 7-181. This team can sure put on a collapse

Batting has definitely been the Achilles heel this season.

 

[Groucho]

Nice double from Kellaway , pair of 70’s, needed to go on with one of them at least.

 

[7577969923]

SA 3 for 60 odd chasing 300. Vics have the upper hand at this point.

Fergus O'Neill has 2. Just keeps taking wickets at state level - had 105 at 20 leading into this match and now has 7. Doesn't fit the mold of a traditional Australian quick given his pace is probably around the 130kmh range. Reminds me a bit of England's Ollie Robinson and could be effective in certain conditions.

I wonder if NZ might sound him out given he was born across the ditch.

Any spinners in Vic grade cricket that can spin a ball and take a wicket?

 

[Junk yard]

Todd Murphy 41 overs for 1 wicket since returning from Sri Lanka. Has taken two wickets this year. Should be playing grade cricket.

 

[Groucho]

Not looking good for the Vics now. SA 4-239

 

[Passmore]

Great run chase by SA. Excellent result.

 

[Samsquanch]

NZ 0/46 off 6 overs.

 

[Samsquanch]

Pistol gives Ravindra out caught behind to a wide that wasn't even close to the bat or glove. Clearly a decision to ensure an umpiring gig in the next BCCI sponsored romp

Overridden by DRS but Young then goes out LBW in the same over.

NZ 1/58 after 8

 

[Samsquanch]

Ravindra gone

2/70 after 10

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Williamson gone. Kiwis rooted

Yep. Wife has already said sayonara New Zealand.
