Sheffield Shield Round 3: Victoria v South Australia @ MCG

[Aussie_boy]

Not sure what to make of this pitch. Lehmann and Cooper made it look like an absolute road, everyone else has made it look tough as hell.

Redbacks batting, enough said. It's the MCG of course it's a road.

SA folding like a pack of cards

 

[Aussie_boy]

Lost 6/13 after Tea. That's one of the better collapses in recent times, normally Zampa or Richo is there to slog a 20.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Blimey, we might be good at cricket but the Vics would be the least attractive team going round I reckon Without sexy beast Finch there is not much to choose from. I rate Fawed best out of a bad lot

I remember two years ago thinking dean would be a great test player in the making. Now he looks shakey as

Might have been mentioned somewhere and I just missed it, but what happened to Pucovski?

He's had to take some time off to deal with mental health issues.

Dean 51*
Harris 10*

Dean batting beautifully and Harris can hardly get bat on ball. Bit of form reversal

Tell ya what, if needed, Patto man should be the night watchman.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So how about a 5 team shield and fold SA?

eth-dog good half ton from my boy

Lucky eth-dog isn’t a selector!

Happy he's found form.

Been out all day but good to see Boland dominating again. We should get a big lead from here.

 

[western royboy]

Of course you would. Short made more in WA than Dean has in his last 4 innings'. Vines has 84 career runs, Short has made 81 this year.

Dean is not far off playing tests in a green hat - I cannot understand why you don’t rate him. - seriously good player

I rate him but he hadn't made runs. He did so far this match but to say he hasn't made runs this season and most of last would be accurate.

Reckon he needs to be more consistent before being talked about at test level. He averages 32 with 6 hundreds and 7 fifties. Needs to limit his low scores, seems to make a big one or virtually nothing. Is well behind Renshaw, Harris, Burns and even Weatherald in my book. He has been very good for Victoria though.

Valente has to go. He's been brought into the side several times over the past 3-4 seasons and done absolutely nothing. Nielsen only gets a game because of his old man as well. There ARE players in the SACA grade system who have been making runs for years but never get picked. Sturt's Brad Davis is a classic example.

Davis has to come in next game. Twin tons in the futures league, not much more you can do.

Nielson gets a game because he's the second best keeper in the state.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Dean just got some luck. Pretty plumb LBW appeal turned down

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Cooper drops a dolly. Right in the bread basket.

 

[Kyptastic]

Think I'll head down for the middle session today.

Sure he does

 

[Mkcaptain]

Disappointing. Harris was playing some glorious shots

 

[bird_man]

Disappointing Harris could not go on with it. He was playing some beautiful shots and looked like a hundred was a given.

65 after a 250 has done his chances for a baggy green no harm though.
