Prepare one of the flattest pitches. Bat first for 150 overs/1.5 days/618 runs. Willing to be a nice guy and set a 'nice total' and its SA's fault the game is crawling to a draw.
Just laughable. Really, really laughable.

Kind of surprising the over rate has been so good - 286 overs in three days, which is just two overs short of the 96 overs per day mandate - given that there's been 117 fours and 25 sixes hit in the match so far.
Perhaps if Victoria declared 15 overs earlier (when they were 3/524 after 135 overs), SA (currently 5/527 off 136 overs) would have declared by now, "making a game of it" on the final day.

Staunch Victorian here. But I don't like Handscomb and his comments are idiotic.
Can we trade him for a first round pick?

Yeah nah. s**t pitch.And look at the haters pile up...
Eh. I said he's a chance. Not that he would be there.
Yes it is, laughable that you think otherwise. A pitch that offers something for bat and ball over 4 days? A top quality outfield? No, why would that be First Class standard?
Making excuses already? Look what happens when you don't bowl half vollies on leg stump. Amazing, isn't it?

SA 5-527 and Handscombe having a sook about SA not wanting to setup the game. I was pretty much on the money despite my state not having won much silverware over the last 20 years.
Your a scum bag that's not even a victorian
And still a grub
Well actually I am a Victorian. Are Victorians not meant to criticise anything Victorian? Even when its warranted?
Yeah I wonder if SA will just bat as long as they can tomorrow for LOLs. Or declare after passing Vic's 616 for bigger LOLs

You need to dial it back a bit.

The tail is pretty long so chances are we don't make it to lunch anyway but if we are still batting at Tea I'd love to see them refuse to end the game and keep batting. After all the pitch is meant to break up tomorrow isn't it?

Let's not be too harsh on Handscomb, being a bit pissed off after failing to even make it to 50 on that pitch is perfectly understandable.
Real Jadeja areas if he gets there.

This is one of the reasons AUS cricket is in a shambles right now with batting over seas. Whoever produced that wicket should be sacked.
If Victoria was just batting with no intent to win on one of the many flat roads around the country like the WACA, SCG or Adelaide Oval then the same posters above would be abusing Handscomb for not making a game of it...
But the fact the captain, a naturally attacking player makes the slowest 50 of his career on this pitch says all about his mindset at the moment!

How early can the game get called off?
Neither state would be interested in their bowlers getting injured

The scores shouldn't even count for the game
Ridiculously arrogant comments from Handscombe. Why didn’t the Vics declare for 400 instead of piling on 600? How dare SA not just hand them a first innings victory! The gall of it

First inning is all about bonus points for runs & wickets. if SA declared early, they'd miss out on BP. If Handdick wasn't such a cretin the Vics should had summed up the wicket & the need to set something up, much earlier.
Handdick should get his Handoffit. FKNIJIT.
Back at the MCG until the big bash break and then back at the junction after that I think.
