Denton in doubt for Friday's clash
By KEN PIESSE

Fast bowler Gerard Denton is in doubt for Friday's Pura Cup clash against South Australia in Melbourne.

Victorian coach Greg Shipperd says Denton would rest for several days in the hope that he could take his place.

"He's a little sore after Sydney (with a shin problem). We just have to monitor things," said Shipperd. "Micky Lewis is the same. But we're expecting he'll be okay."

Lewis has deep bruising in his big toe but is hoping to play.

"Yeah I think I'm going to be allright. It has come along quickly in the last couple of days," he said.

The Vics will welcome back Brad Hodge after he played in Friday's one-day game against England in Brisbane.

That isn't going to give South Australia a chance of winning, Vic would need to loose there first 40 players then maybe SA will win.

Im really hoping if these guys dont play Wise is given a go coming back from injury he took 4 for yesterday. I really rate him highly.

 

[bus24]

VIC wouldn't want to drop this, imagine the LOLs

Hopefully McKay is fit again too and can have another game. If we can get our guys fit we certainly have options to cover these sort of injuries.

Tait would have to rout Vics for under 100 in each innings.

Will Boof play again this year?

 

[RoosterLad]

With two international superstars out SA might be a chance to win this game.

It's always a huge loss to lose a Tasmanian.

Camberwell reserves would beat SA. No offence to Camberwell reserves...

but can they beat the Tait Taits?

 

[bushranger]

sa are due for a win

 

[HBF]

Could the Vics possible suffer a "letdown" after their stirring win against NSW last week?

Certainly getting Hodge back will help strengthen our top order.

the VIC's could play the north melbourne u/11's and still scratch out a victory by an innings...

 

[jnash196]

Klinger is playing Vics can't lose.

Drop Mash (i hate him so much and I'm his cousin to him)(hard to explain)

 

[bushranger]

we should go in like this

Jewell
Klinger
Hodge
Hussey
Blizzard
Mcdonald
Crossy
Mckain or warne
Lewis
Denton
Harwood

Pff - Vics by an innings and 100 runs - even if only warney walked out on the pitch by himself.

I can't see us posting a score high enough to beat the SA u/14 girls 3rd XI

 

[The_Reaper]

we should go in like this

Jewell
Klinger
Hodge
Hussey
Blizzard
Mcdonald
Crossy
Mckain or warne
Lewis
Denton
Harwood

he has retired

yep warne will make a recovery?

Hutton and Thompson have been batting pretty well for them, too.

Just lack a few pace bowling options.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Warne, eh? That's very interesting.

Bryce McGain did well against NSW, I expect him to retain his place.

If Denton doesn't play, either McKay if he's fit or Wise if they ever give him another game.

I think Mick Lewis will be fit enough to play, Hodge back in certaintly strengthens the top order. Vics should win by plenty, and plenty more

I think Marantelli from North Melbourne would have to be next cab off the rank. His form has been impeccable and you'd be hard pressed to find a bowler in this great state of ours that bowls a better line and length. I'm sure Shippy will be giving him the call up any day.

You sound like an astute judge of cricketing talents Candy. I used to play with Chris Marantelli at Essendon and we were devastated to lose him and his stain of a brother. Since his move to the Roos, his already promising career has burgeoned into the premier bowler in the district ranks with 24 wickets at 21.5 this year on the back of 30+ wickets the previous season. The Vics would be foolish not to include him in their tilt at Pura Cup glory. His missus is a tremendous sort also.

 

[RomeoJIm]

Did you play with Jodes Hutchinson when you were at Essendon?

 

[year of the roo]

It's great to have Chris Marantelli and his best mate posting here.

Next cab off the rank? What tosh.

Jewell, Klinger, Hodge, Hussey, Blizzard, McDonald, Moss, Crosthwaite, Harwood, Lewis, Denton/Wise

No need for the excess bowling options at the G and no need for a spinner either, Mcgain did well but it was a spinners paradise, our batting needs strengthening and Blizz should replace Mash
