Surprised Bartlett missed. Absolutely must win match.

What excuse are Victoria running with re not selecting Glenn Maxwell? Are we going "quarantine", "rest" or "we are focusing on developing the kids and we are certain that Maxwell will sign with NSW/SA next year"...

I think it is an absolute rort for Australian cricket what Cricket Victoria are doing at the moment.

 

[Drunkcat]

It's the right way to go as they say looks like lots of rain over the 4 day's

 

[Drunkcat]

That sucks that was fun to watch

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Handscomb was surely a bit unlucky there

Ummm he retired from the 4 day format of the game to focus on the shorter forms same as Finch

I do not believe that Maxwell has retired from first class cricket.

"I am certainly keen to still play red-ball cricket, still push my case forward to still play Test cricket. I feel like I am still very much in the prime of my career. I am only 32, there is still a fair bit in me,” he said.

“I am fit, young – feeling still anyway. I feel I still have a lot to give in the red-ball game so I am not done and dusted there

‘Very much in my prime’: Glenn Maxwell eyes Test recall

Glenn Maxwell has rubbished suggestions he has quit red-ball cricket and hopes to return to the Test squad next year when Australia have three tours through Asia.

They aren't allowed due to Qld travel rules.

4/75. Need Gotch to actually make runs now

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Farking rain!

 

[Drunkcat]

Harris is going alright today moved on to 72 at lunch

 

[nobbyiscool]

I know there's been/is about to be a bit of cricket on here - but it's a bit of a visual oddity that we're playing on the worst looking of the 3 prepared pitches.

A lone fighting hand by Harris,needs a bit of support or Victoria will struggle to get over 200.Bugger another rain break and Harris stuck on 98.Harris not rated by some on BF to remain as a test opener but this innings will not hurt him and with Chris Rodgers coaching the Vics I would not write him off just yet.

Great knock Harris!
