[Cleavy]

Harris to bat at 3 apparently.

Don't mind it. Kellaway and Dixon should be our openers (once Dixon is back) as they're a potential Australian opening combination for me.

McSweeney will need to bowl a bit this game I reckon

Drew bowled in the one day games

Hopefully Sangha can bowl at some point

25.1 overs
SA 2/54
Sangha and Hunt nice little partnership developing

Lehmann chasing his fourth century in as many matches. Needs a poster of Adam Voges on his wall to remind himself the baggy green is still attainable

I wonder if 90% of Redbacks fans still want him dropped

 

[Nathan Barley]

Was it the second innings where Hunt can't get into double figures?

In fairness his form prior was horrendous and didn't deserve his spot. Massive turnaround.

I'm sure Tom Kelly couldve done this.....

I guess I’ll stop now that I’ve read up on the dictionary definition of hindsight!

Or maybe just need to acknowledge that the coaches know best

Most were calling for him to be dropped just for the sake of it even though nobody else was knocking the door down

Boland on song this morning

 

[Cleavy]

Day 2 is so far going better than Day 1

 

[Groucho]

Jeez that’s a helluva tail the Vics have got. I know Perry and O’Neill are capable and Scotty has two first class 50’s but…

Very poor by Harris, great decision by the square leg ump though.

Think declaring from behind is the only way we get a result here. Not sure if we'll be game

Keep batting and get whatever lead. Every chance Boland just rips through us.

Well we batted to 100 overs. We finished 0.26 BP ahead (6/287 vs 9/343) but we'd want to be chasing no more than 180-200 tomorrow

Excuse my ignorance but why are we declaring before a lead?
0.26 BP ahead?

You only get bonus points for the first 100 overs in the first innings.

0.1 for every wicket, 0.01 for every run past 200.

SA were 6/287 after 100 overs (so they got 0.87 points, we got 0.6)
Vic were 9/343 (1.43 to 0.9)

So Victoria got 2.03 bonus points, SA 1.77

 

[Aussie_boy]

Think Hunt has already scored more 2nd innings run this season compared to last.

Soft dismissal
