Sa V Vic

[eastaugh36]

Victoria may have snuck first innings points but we are 0/20 in our 2nd and would have to be favourites to win outright. With Davison to steamroll victoria on the crumbling Adelaide oval pitch on the last 2 days !
Mick Miller, 7 wickets for SA in the 1st innings !

 

[Captain Sensible]

What were the first innings scores?




And I wouldnt hold my breath about Davison running through anyone no matter how bad the pitch is.

Considering we were 7 for 94 at stumps last night and still needed another 40-50 runs to take first innings points, I think it was a good effort from the Victorian tail to get the total past SA.

Go Vics!!

Looking at Victoria's batting lineup, it's no wonder they struggled to overhaul South Australia's meek first-innings total. There is simply not enough depth there.

For one thing, Ian Harvey is a luxury the Vics can't afford at Number 6; he has a first-class batting average of just 32.

The attempt of playing two all-rounders at 6 & 7 (Harvey and White) is especially dangerous when you look at what's below them. Berry has never been a particularly good batsman and the three pace bowlers are more or less bunnies.

With South Australia looking to set a big total to defend, Victoria is going to seriously struggle to win this match.

SA 1/241. Johnson 130no and Blewett 86no. One things for sure with the first innings' over quickly there's plenty of time to get an outright! SA would have to be favourites at this stage with that scoreline and,yes,wagstaff,that Vic batting line up looks very brittle if Elliott and/or Hodge don't score big.

 

[Catman]

1/268 at stumps, a lead of 264 with 9 wickets in hand. The Vics have their work cut out, I can see the Redbacks going for a total of about 400-450 and then declare at about tea and that gives both sides a chance of victory. That's providing of course that the Vics don't rip through the remaining batsmen.

 

[catattack]

They have a great lead. Unless there's a mirical, I don't see the Vics winning from here. Hopefully we can make it a draw, somehow, because then we get first innings points!!

 

[mattyc2422]

I really like Greg Blewett and hope he does well...just not in this match.

I like the sound of Rummans and Hodge together for the season.

Go Vics.

victoria have 1st innings points regardless of whether it is a draw or outright sa victory.

 

[eastaugh36]

The stage is set for Davison. But first we have to bat on for another half of today to put the game right out of victorias reach
Lets kick a vic !

Never underestimate a captain of someone's country, even though he is captain of Canada.

And he got Cheesy Arnberger out as well. If we don't lose outright you can all just look at the scorecard and then see that we got 2 and SA got 0. Certainly a good game to kick off the season. Bunky Hodge and Rummo can certainly bat and Nick Jewell is in form with the willow, a good Adelaide Oval track, I can see us surviving the day.

The steamrolling is in progress !

 

[eastaugh36]

The vic kicking is happening !
Put bluntly, victorian cricket totally sucks !

 

[hourn]

well done John Davison, getting your bowling average back below sixty

the croweaters must be struggling with him in the team

and then to think Victoria are losing to them

 

[Mcchawk]

We're gawn

Yeah because Victoria suck !

 

[hourn]

Vic now 7 down,

Ryan Harris got 3 wickets - reasonably good young player, nothing special though.

Harvey putting up good resitance, as was Berry before the wicket was taken.

Very interesting to see if SA can get the three wickets in time. They should, but you never know.

 

[eastaugh36]

we won ! sucked in victoria !

And a part time pie thrower in Ben Johnson took 3/4, that' really rubbing it in.

Matty Elliott has quit as Vice Captain, after just one match! He says it's affecting his batting. At least he can admit it, I suppose.

Revenge in the One Dayer tomorrow!

If we're going to make an impression in the Pura Cup this season we desperately need to find a couple of decent batsman to help out the likes of Matthew Elliott and Brad Hodge. Our bowling is ok, it's just our batting that costs us.

We'll win tomorrow in the ING Cup.

Go Vics!!
