Redbacks: Back to back, baby

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

4/92

Am worried they'll still have a few good players in when the ball gets old

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

261 all out

Good effort by the bowlers, has kept us in it just

Was a crucial coin toss to lose. Going to have to do something special

Does it look like the pitch had flattened out at all, or was it still doing a fair bit off the seam?

Still a new ball pitch by the looks

 

[spenze]

Need to really put our heads down and see this through to stumps, considering the openers want to beat the line up at the night club

 

[spenze]

McSweeney keen to get to the club whilst two for one drink offer is happening, keen to fill his boots.

Victoria being able to bring on a fresh seamer (Perry) for the second innings doesn't really seem fair.

Yeah, I kinda get a concussion sub but not a hamstring awareness sub. It makes me wonder if everyone who played in the comp this year gets a participation trophy.

Not to toot my own horn but;

Sheffield Shield player of the year awards before I criticised his red-ball batting record & before we had a good chat at a sponsor event: 0

Sheffield Shield player of the year awards after we had that good chat at a sponsor event: 1

 

[spenze]

Pushing shit uphill.

On the positive, plenty of time left in the game...that's about it. Really need everything to go our way tomorrow to be any chance.

In saying that and this is a big, big ask but 200 would be a very hard chase

Need a Carey ton or we're done

Quite frankly, its shit.

Manenti ton not good enough?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

SA is Gonski. 7/179. Carey is still there on 60.

One wonders what may have happened without the spare bowler.

Exactly, one of the batsmen could have faked a calf injury for us to bring a bowler in for this innings coming up

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Most of our top batsmen have failed, so no excuses. McAndrew is showing them what to do.

 

[Crow-eater]

McAndrew with a very handy 60.

Now just need the last 2 to hang around to get Kez to his ton.

 

[Crow-eater]

Carey's ton gets us to a 195 lead.

We can do this.

 

[radiojake]

3/35

161 run lead
Surely not?

 

[pjcrows]

It's on.

 

[Crow-eater]

2 MASSIVE breakthroughs before stumps.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Victoria needs 94 runs to win, 5 wickets left. We can do it.

 

[Cromulant]

To be in it on Day 5 with a punchers chance of winning it is a great thing.

Yep, against a team that was clearly superior all season, on their home track, I'm really proud of the boys.

Also, that catch Manenti took to get rid of Harris was a cracker. Sometimes people only view catches where the fielder is diving, full stretch as a good catch but 10 minutes before stumps, that ball flew off the edge and Manenti madfe that look easier than it was.
