May well be a case of a double declaration. If Vic make 250, Qld get 100 behind and declare, Victoria get 300 ahead and declare or depending on how much time's left

Why would qld bother? They are in a healthy position on the ladder

Just keep batting, see if the tail can hang around with Harris and bat the entire 4 days which will probably be the equivalent of 1 days play

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.

It's a rort was Australian cricket is doing to the Vics, could have moved the game to a state that doesn't have ridiculous border restrictions, but no, they only move games away from Victoria...

Why should QLD lose a home game?

Why should Victoria? Victoria then played the next game in Melbourne...

Nothing is stopping Victoria fielding a side

Nothing is stopping Victoria fielding a side

Nothing was stopping NSW fielding a side

Had it been moved not only would we have both been able to pick full strength sides, but they’d actually have got a game free of rain delays!!!

Oh, no QLDers were in NZ, no wonder it meant nothing to CA!

Perhaps this game should be abandoned and the Victorians can return to their sunshine state for some practice with their club sides.

You mock, but there hasn't been a ball bowled today and it says "stumps" on the CA website. It's very odd.

Really,I was only joking but perhaps the game has been abandoned.I think we would all agree cricket matches fixtured in March for Brisbane is risky with the weather similar to Melbourne's wet Octobers.But at least we are getting some cricket in and hopefully covid will not be an issue next season.

The day was abandoned at about 10. No tv rights deals means no piss farting around with the idea of getting back on when there is no chance. I suspect tomorrow will be the same, AB drains like s**t at the best of times let alone after 3 days of pretty persistent rain.

 

[eth-dog]

Game abandoned.

 

[eth-dog]

I'll do the maths soon

Well done Marcus, batted for all 4 days of a Shield game, remarkable achievement!
