Sheffield Shield Round 9: Victoria v New South Wales @ Junction Oval

[Art Vandelay_]

For the first time this season. Credit to him, he won the game, but don't pretend his season prior to this was anything but poor.

He played the Bulls game at the G where it took over 1000 runs to take 18 wickets. The WA game at the G where nearly 1000 runs was required to take 23 wickets. The Tassie game at the G where he was good in the first innings. The SA game at G where he was again good in the first innings.

All draws on docile pitches. Yeah, maybe get off his back.

Did the crowd reach double figures any of the days

I went during my lunch break

It was free entry and I think say 100-150 were there during the short time while I was.

Faaaarrrkkkk Nevill is shyte. Glad he isn't playing for Aus anymore and can't believe NSW played him at 6 earlier in the year and played 5 bowlers.

We won the Shield with him at 6. He averages 38 with the bat, definitely can bat there. Just out of form this year.

Love the headline on Cricket.com.au

"Fawad the hero as Vics win thriller"

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well done Vics!!!! I knew we could do it! Great stuff from Fawad at the end there

Once again, a game with a highest innings total of around 300ish (but even up to 350 is fine) makes for a great contest.

Have administrators forgotten how exciting a tumble of wickets is in a game?

Think I heard they had couple of thousand on the weekend days.

 

[eddiesmith]

Just watching all the wickets, great win but NSW threw that away. Some shocking dismissals, O'Keefe was stupid given the situation, Abbott was just ******* hilarious, good to see him still bringing the lols even after the Big Bash has ended!!!

Shaun Graf on SEN today was saying they got 1500 I think he said on one of the weekend days.

I reckon the higher he bats the better he goes usually. He's not good batting with the tail, doesn't farm the strike well and can't hit out.

Yep, how good was that match! Need a wicket with something there for batsmen and bowlers, enough of these roads!

“All is forgiven” making him sound like a glorified re.**** who we’ve plucked from the crowd to play. He’s a solid back up spinner and today showed that.

And the last time a state won 4 in a row anyone??

I can't recall it happening since 1992 when I started following cricket as a youngster.

If that’s the case that a good result

Can we see it happen???

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Can we see it happen???

I can!!!!

(Unless we are knobbled somehow by a Vic hating CA )

Well, that's always a possibility of course.
But I have a good feeling about a 4 peat.

I think the team believes so that's a start.

NSW won 9 in a row between 1953/54 and 1961/62

Since then 3 teams, WA, QLD and Victoria have won 3 in a row but none 4 in row.

NSW must have been a fair unit in the 1950's. Norm O'Neill, Benaud, Davidson, Ian Craig, Johnny Martin. Victoria has some guns too, Harvey, Kline, Meckiff, Colin Mc Donald.
