4/73

5 / 78

Short out as well, Vics teetering

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Maybe if Handscomb focused more on fixing his technique and less about bitching and moaning he'd start making some runs.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Pretty disastrous start to the shield campaign for us, pretty disappointing when you look at our side on paper.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Top order has failed, now the real batting begins with middle order and tail enders applying themselves.

Problem starts at the top. The captain is getting into trouble against 125km seam up part time.. when was the last time a captain was dropped

 

[corbies]

Maybe its the camera angle but Handscomb's looks to be going a mile down leg on replay.

 

[Voice of the G]

From what I've seen of him this shield season it looks like he's trying a new set up where he takes guard outside leg and then steps across his stumps. It might take a bit of adjusting.

Victoria in trouble but Maxwell going at near a run a ball as usual.Lets hope he does not throw this innings away again as Victoria need him and the tail to build the total up.

 

[kane249]

David Moody just seems to constantly have the figures 10 overs 0/43.

 

[Wines to cripps]

Normally id say the vics have the best tail enders in the game but first innings they lasted just under 40 balls lol..

If MaXy ever discovered a 2nd gear in the longer form he mighy of played more test cricket

 

[Rich]

Maxwell with a timely innings here. Vics still need to bat for another 40 overs or so.

 

[kane249]

Shock horror, Maxwell gets out to a dumb shot

 

[Rich]

Maxwell plays a ridiculous shot to get out, throws it away.

 

[Woody15]

Standard Maxwell.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Shock horror, Maxwell gets out to a dumb shot

Welcome to contemporary cricket.

 

[Cleavy]

our 2nd innings getting outscored by Shaun Marsh

 

[Woody15]

Another one to the WA pie chuckers..

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Shameful. Having to hang on for a draw is utterly pathetic.

We should be battering them.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

That Victorian batting line-up has gone from looking solid to dicey as hell.

Imagine Maddinson and Harris opening for anyone.

Yes, yes, I realise that Harris has been a fair bit better than when he was in WA, but really, though having slagged them off, I wouldn't trust WA not to open with them if they were available. Proper first class batsmen seem so thin on the ground now.

Why?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Why?

Why not?

Not much to fear in the WA line up. Just one very bad outing for the best bowling group in the Shield and here we are.

I struggled to see why everyone was talking it up. Pucovski is the only one in there I would trust to perform consistently. Harper is pretty solid for a keeper/batsman too.

 

[Cleavy]

trail by 1 run at tea. at least we shouldn't lose by an innings.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I hope he was happy with WA's sporting declaration.

Good chance for them to mull that over on the plane ride home. Bye bye.
