Redbacks: Title Town

[Moonwatcher]

Serve up a batting pitch when there is only one team capable of taking advantage of it.

 

[Cap]

Going to need 8 very quick wickets tomorrow to remain a chance. That or make 500 in the 2nd dig.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Stephen Schwerdt at the Redbacks?

 

[hey shorty]

Stephen Schwerdt at the Redbacks?

Indeed he is.

 

[hey shorty]

4/269 at stumps. Early wickets tomorrow please then bat for 2 days. Does the wicket look flat ??

When Vic are batting, yes it does.

 

[hey shorty]

We are going to have to change our mindset in the 2nd innings. Use up as much time as possible.

I still think we have to look at scoring 400. Time will take care of itself.

 

[hey shorty]

True, anything over 250 to chase on the final day will be tough.

But we have to get them out first.

Mennie with a huge early wicket of Bolland, Victoria 5/273.

If we're lucky, they'll keep batting and go for the draw

Are you at the ground again today Hank?

Might come down again for a couple of hours later on.

Would have preferred that campaigner Handscomb.

Not at the moment, wasn't planning on it. I'll be honest, as much as it was fantastic being there, it's actually easier seeing the play on the stream. So hard to see the ball at the ground.

Seen 7 plays and misses since i switched on twenty minutes ago. Super frustrating. Sometimes luck just isnt on your side as a bowler.

 

[Crow-eater]

Sayers has an injury. Not good.

Yeah we needed Sayers. Unfortunately I think we almost need a bit of weather here.

 

[ams4crows]

Victoria could shoot themselves in the foot here by batting too long and getting a good lead.... we can probably hold out for 1 day. I'd almost declare as soon as they reach our total and send the redbacks in. Put the onus on us and well we are the redbacks we tend to do silly things.

 

[1990crow]

Christian out bowled. 7 down with a 5 run lead. Big wicket. If we can get the last 3 for less than a 50 run lead we're still in this.

 

[Deaneus!]

Another wicket?

 

[Crow-eater]

Super Frank on a hattrick!

 

[Deaneus!]

8/345!!!

 

[1990crow]

2 in two balls! Worrall has suprised me this season. Mennie, Worrall and Sayers is a very good lineup and with Zampa/Gregory/Andrews we will have one of the better attacks going forward.
Carey is a very good wicket keeping prospect. So tick there.
Batting.. Lehmann, Head, Ross are locks. The other three are where the problems lay. Weatherald is a good prospect that should be persisted with and maybe we just have to hope Cosgrove turns his form around next season. Raphael? Hopefully Ferguson can return early on in the season.

 

[hey shorty]

Whats the deal with Sayers ???

 

[Crow-eater]

Whats the deal with Sayers ???

Lower leg injury.

 

[hey shorty]

So no bowling in the 2nd innings then ??

heck we always need to do it the hard way.
