State Victoria - The Mighty Bushrangers

[eth-dog]

Second XI are 5/50 at Lunch in Ringwood, Stepien made 17, Harper's on 12 not out and Rowe on 5 not out, rest are single figures.

 

[Drunkcat]

That's the end of Vines 115 runs in 7 innings next

Bloke didn't hit it. I agree it's a s**t record but he's 4 games in and this time he got a poor decision.

 

[Drunkcat]

Well I guess he still does have the 2nd innings to do something

He walked didn't he?

 

[eth-dog]

He walked didn't he?

Nah, was given out.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Nah, was given out.

He looked like he was going straight away then stopped

 

[Aussie_boy]

He looked like he was going straight away then stopped

He almost certainly hit that based on body language. Hit's it, starts walking and then goes oh wait the ump hasn't put his finger up may as well stick around until he does.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Gotch with back to back tons

 

[eth-dog]

He looked like he was going straight away then stopped

Yeah, that's probably fair.

Could we see Harper keep next game and Gotchy bat at 6?

 

[Drunkcat]

Gotch putting his name up there 2 tons

 

[ROOTA#6]

Gotch putting his name up there 2 tons

Name up for?

 

[Drunkcat]

Name up for?

Any keeper that can make 100s puts his name in front of the selectors for Australia

And this is the problem with cricket in Australia at the minute

 

[eth-dog]

Gotch isn't a good enough keeper to play for Australia

 

[Drunkcat]

Gotch isn't a good enough keeper to play for Australia

If Carey can keep for Australia then anyone can

If Carey can keep for Australia then anyone can

Whilst Gotch is a better keeper imo, there are better keepers than him.

It’s alright, no ones noticed anyway, too busy getting excited by some youngster from WA...

Although in fairness Gotch is 10 years younger and already equaled the amount of centuries the Aussie skipper has in his career!

And this is the problem with cricket in Australia at the minute

That we expect keepers to make the occasional hundred?

 

[ROOTA#6]

That we expect keepers to make the occasional hundred?

No that as soon as one does his case gets pushed for elevation

 

[Voice of the G]

Whilst Gotch is a better keeper imo, there are better keepers than him.

Names please.

 

[eth-dog]

Names please.

Paine, Nevill, Inglis, Harper.

Can the Vics make the final?

 

[eth-dog]

Can the Vics make the final?

It'll be complicated but yes. Let's assume that Victoria, WA and NSW all win (and get max bowling points for the other two). The standings will be:

NSW 49.76
WA 35.20
Qld 33.88
Vic 30.61
SA 27.33 (doubt they get the 200)
Tas 17.60 (giving them another 40 in the runs)

New South Wales will have top spot virtually locked
From there we have South Australia in Adelaide and then Tassie at Junction.
WA have Queensland and NSW, both at home
Queensland have WA and SA, both away

We really need a draw from those two in Perth if we're to make it and win our last two.

 

[Drunkcat]

Paine, Nevill, Inglis, Harper.

Nevill and Paine are old so will not be around long Harper needs more runs leaves Inglis and he still not done enough...so if Gotch keeps making 100s he will put his name in the ring
