Shield Sheffield Shield Round 1: Victoria v South Australia @ Junction Oval

[Carbine Chaos]

Absolute road and a grade level attack.

Surely more runs here don't keep Harris in the Test side.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You still need 20 wickets on this “pitch” to win

Twang goes the broken record.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Twang goes the broken record.

Even SA should be able to score runs the ball hasn’t moved a cm all day and zero turn

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

A poor start by a paper thin attack

Worst attack in living memory, certainly from a Redbacks point of view. I saw 2 of our bowlers last week in grade cricket and they wouldn't get me out.

 

[carnthemlions]

As expected Short and Agar 12th men. Finch at 5, Maxwell at 6.

Maxwell's now batting at 6 for Victoria in both formats, obviously it's not just the Australian selectors.

 

[Drunkcat]

I think we should just make up our own Victorian board lol get these flogs off on game day

 

[Drunkcat]

Harris 50 not out in last one day game now looks like 100 in first shield game...looks like he stays in aussie side

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

0/210

C'mon boys... one brings two

 

[Aussie_boy]

You just know Holland will take 10fa for the match and roll the Redbacks easily. He can thank SA's existence for his Cricket career.

He's a good FC cricketer that likes playing SA. Not as if he's a spud.

LPno1 whinge fest as usual. Pitches don't have to do heaps from the start. Junction always takes spin late

 

[toml]

Joke of a pitch

 

[Aussie_boy]

Problem is the run rate, we were never going to win but now we will have to bat for close to 3 days which I don't see happening no matter how flat it is.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Renshaw, Burns, Uzie, Bancroft

get Maddinson in at the top of the order. was unlucky to be dropped IMO...Mark Waugh was ahead of his time.

 

[eth-dog]

And when Holland is turning the ball on day 4 where will these whingers be? Junction is flat early but breaks down, I say it every time, and lo and behold, that's what it does...

Renshaw, Burns, Uzie, Bancroft

He played 3 tests, made 27 runs with a top score of 22. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a second chance, but in no way was he unlucky to be dropped.

 

[eth-dog]

Do you promote Maxwell/Finch ahead of Hank? I think you do, capitalise on the BP opportunity, if there's a mini collapse he's still there to steady the ship.

 

[eddiesmith]

It’s SA, we won’t be playing on day 4!!!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yay, some free streamable cricket to watch at last Except I forgot it started today

So did the Redbacks by the looks

 

[HODGEYROAD]

1-362 is one almighty tough day in the field for the Redbacks.

 

[Cleavy]

pitch was quite flat in the one day games. Disappointingly the same for this game (so far)

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Pitch might not look so flat with Pattinson and Tremain steaming in

 

[eth-dog]

Again. People always whinge about a "Junction road" on day one but are oddly silent come day 4 when the pitch has broken down and takes spin and a result is produced. Funny about that.

 

[carnthemlions]

"Maddinson pushes into Test frame"
* off.

 

[Crashy]

Vics should try and score 1000

Forget about winning

 

[eth-dog]

"Maddinson pushes into Test frame"
fu** off.
