Shield Sheffield Shield Final: Victoria v New South Wales @ Junction Oval

[eddiesmith]

You are bloody persistent. I’ll give you that

Well we’ll see but the Junction typically flattens out as seen by the difficulty in getting a win there.

That and NSW has the greatest batsman Australia has ever seen at the crease

 

[peternorth]

Had not noticed pattersons southern cross tatt before

 

[eddiesmith]

Well done skip, you just dropped the Shield

 

[ROOTA#6]

Well done skip, you just dropped the Shield

Give it a spell

 

[eddiesmith]

Give it a spell

Oh yeah, dropping the oppositions best batsman having the season of his life and averaging 100 at test level won’t be costly...

 

[BrownYouGun]

Ian Healy so *ing biased

 

[peternorth]

This match is not over by any stretch

 

[Santana]

Boland is bowling total s**t here

Well done skip, you just dropped the Shield

Your predictions on this game have been useless, Ed.

Your predictions on this game have been useless, Ed.

I was pretty right that the lack of batsmen will be costly, my predictions of NSW cruising to a big score looks like was just a couple of days early

If you lose by the opposition chasing 388 in the fourth innings it’s got nothing to do with not playing an extra batsmen

 

[Taylor]

Have you ever seen a match where one team is bowling for a draw in the fourth innings?

 

[Crashy]

Patterson out, game over.

 

[SunGirl89]

serve us some more bullshit Eddie

 

[grimlock]

Definitely game over now.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Pretty good run chase, but the wickets are coming now.

 

[grimlock]

Unlucky Sandwich

 

[Cleavy]

6 to go.

 

[ROOTA#6]

6 to go.

5 to go...geez I wish we’d play an extra batsmen

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Patto man!
Love seeing Moises fail.

How many runs do NSW need??? Did we go in a bit light on batting?

With this attack we could have picked 4 bats and won.

No Maddinson, Handscomb, Maxwell or Finch and still had enough depth to win it.

 

[SunGirl89]

Only an idiot would have suggested that NSW were any chance to even come close to scoring almost 400 in the 4th innings, away, in a final.

Well done Victoria, a well deserved title.

 

[Cleavy]

Bowled him!

 

[rippersnipper]

How good is the junction now too? Grouse little ground for cricket
