Harper goes bang down town for 6!


That was a banger!

 

[NYRB]

Freeman of the Dodgers would have been proud of that. Got as sweet as a whistle.

 

[NYRB]

Elliott almost goes going for the cut. A Cam Green with levers would have possibly got to that.

 

[NYRB]

Oh Sammy Harper goes down the ground for 4 over mid off.

 

[NYRB]

Sam Harper with the Novak Djokovic tennis shot cross court smash at the net.

Novak would have been proud of that

 

[NYRB]

Vics plan looks like to see off Richos 5 overs then look to attack their 3rd and 4th bowlers.

 

[Cleavy]

seems a lot easier to bat on, now that the sun is out?

 

[Torz]

Don’t mind that single, keeps Harper away from the strike. Good over that.

 

[NYRB]

Something has got to give with Elliott now. Big shot or wicket.

 

[NYRB]

last 2 overs, 1 run, and 1 wicket

 

[NYRB]

Harper needs to be facing most of the strike here for the Vics .

 

[NYRB]

I dont rate the rest of the Vic batting lineup.

 

[NYRB]

You could make a case these two teams have the worst middle to lower order batting in the comp.

 

[NYRB]

Harper hits another one into the stands.

 

[NYRB]

His tried that 4 times, and finally he connects with one.

WA bat deep.

 

[Cleavy]

can we defend 120?

 

[NYRB]

The rest of the Vic tail have to be looking to get the single to get Harper back on strike. Tap and run is even good.

You do know you don't need to post five times a minute, right?

 

[NYRB]

Fergus O'Neill aint doing his team any favours. 0 off 5 balls. Its a poor innings for a number 8.

And this is where the VIcs are missing big Sutherland today.

 

[NYRB]

I take back what I said. Fergus O'Neill can whack em.

I apologise.

 

[Roysforever]

I think Duckworth-Lewis spent the rain delay drinking.

 

[ptrg]

How does that work?? Vics went out to bat expecting 50 overs, so "paced themselves" for that. It then rained and the total overs was reduced to 23. (and after losing 2 wickets, they just batted to survive believing there was another 47 overs to make a decent score)

Shouldn't Vics score therefore be increased given they didn't know they were playing a T23 match for those few overs? (in comparison WA know this from ball 1)

*Vics made 132 and its been reduced to 123

Edit: I reckon Handscomb is asking the exact same question to the umpire there

 

[eth-dog]

How has our score been reduced? That's some solid bullshit right there.

 

[eth-dog]

WA should be chasing 150, not 120
