Who knows? Only 15 wickets in 2 days so far. But yeah, a draw is unlikely.
I don't trust us to get a big lead and I think both teams will be quite shakey. That said Vic's have short/Handcomb who could really turn the game on for em

Showers forecast for both Saturday and Sunday, so lots of scenarios to play out yet.

Not sure why we sent them in first. Are runs on the board in a final not a thing any more. Even if we get a small lead they can put on a 200+ total which is hard to chase in the second innings.

I was wondering the same. The best I could come up with is that in 5 day games (or any game really) the pitch has the most life in it early before flattening out. So if you take the view that the primary objective for the first two days is to take the BP lead, then perhaps its advantageous to bowl first. You also get the advantage of knowing the BP equation when it's your turn to bat.
The flipside is, you have to bat last.

Fetch me a daiquiri - literally all I want to do this weekend is watch cricket on the couch. It better not be rained out
You should try watching it on your TV.
It’s a smart couch
They look pretty fluent hey

Well done we reached 200 and still batting, therefore depriving the Vics of a bowling bonus point.
Another 50 - 60 runs in the context of this game would be terrific.
For those in the know- how do the batting bonus points work ?

Whoever hits the most boundaries by the 10 over mark wins
