Match Drawn
MOTM: T.Cooper (SA)

There is still bad blood from Road-gate in Round 1 where Handscomb was not happy that South Australia did not declare to set up a possible outright result, which degenerated into farce with Pattinson bowling offies and Harris and Handscomb himself combining for 18 overs.

Need a spinner for Adelaide so Parker will get a gig.

Do you think Pope will get a game? If Bosisto was still in he might have been used as the spinner, but now that he's out can't really rely on Head's offies.

Probably.

 

[grimlock]

Gotch not playing after all. JFM surprisingly left out.

 

[grimlock]

Pope misses out

 

[eth-dog]

Obviously SA think Cooper/Head/Lehmann will provide enough overs between them.

 

[eth-dog]

Trav Dean watch: when will he get off the mark? 20 balls? 30?

 

[Moonwatcher]

errr well earned drinks...

 

[eth-dog]

I'm not sure I like this side. What does Fekete add to the side? We have four bowlers who are the same hit the deck hard and hope to produce some variable bounce. There's no outstanding pace; Sutherland would be the quickest at mid to high 130's. The only one that swings a red pill is Siddle and he doesn't do that often enough. Look at that SA attack as a comparison, Sayers is a predominantly outswinging bowler, Worrall gets it going both ways, Agar's a hit the deck bowler whilst Mennie is you "intimidator" if any.

Really need Patto back or hope a left armer comes on.

Cricket Australia commentator talking about going to cricinfo for scorecards on stream lol.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Vic doing well, get through the first session and they've then got the best of the conditions for the rest of the match. If they want to win though they might be put in a position where they need to set a target and declare in the 3rd.

No rain forecast over the next 3 days, what makes you say that?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Redbacks aren't potent enough to bowl Victoria out quickly twice, and I'm hopeful that SA will match the VIC's efforts. That would set the stage for a drawn match.

 

[grimlock]

Solid 17 by Deano.

That would be a win for the hopeless crow eaters

Not sure I agree with that. Out attack is pretty good and our inevitable collapse means there’s always plenty of time in the game.

We're much like the Australian team, all the bowlers are impressive, but we just don't take 10.

 

[eth-dog]

Solid 17 by Deano.

Seems a tough pitch to bat on, think it's more about getting a lot of 15-30's with a couple of 50's.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Really gutsy batting by Victoria so far

Conditions difficult. Ball moving around. They've toughed it out.

Don't think we've bowled enough fullish balls around off stump though, which is usually our strength

 

[eddiesmith]

Seems they've picked a team for a road, but a bit of life early on, only the 5 batsmen then a super long tail means these 2 really need to go big

It'll be a road post lunch tomorrow probably.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Travis Head getting a fair but of turn

We may have misread this pitch

Perhaps BF weather expert Luke Parker might give us thoughts on the weather,lol.A great start by the Vics.

Christ Maddo is a star at this level now.
