Need about 350 at least and see rain is forecast for tomorrow which is a worry if we are looking for a result.
50% chance of 0-2 mm. I think we're fine result wise.

If Sutherland was smart he would get the lightest roller over lunch, or forgo the roller at all if possible.
 
Ideally bat another 10-15 overs if we can. Time won't be an issue, but if we can make it a 360-370 chase off 140 overs instead of 335 off 155 it just makes it a little more difficult.

This game is really important with the two finalists from last year looking like they'll have two draws to start the season due to rain. SA vs Queensland could well be another draw. Winner probably gets top spot, loser probably last.

Starc has had three dropped off him in his past 3 overs. This could be costly for NSW. Lead over 360, could have been chasing 335 or so.
 
383 off 153 for NSW at 2.5 an over. There will be a result, hopefully we can get a few early wickets to make it really tough. NSW probably need two tons to win it.

Starc looked ominous throughout. There's a nice little spot for Murphy around a fifth stump line to the right hander at the Warne Stand end (so bowling from the members), unfortunately no left handed quicks from the Vics. Early wickets could kill them.
 
Well you have just got that bit right,what a eventful over by Boland.Had Maddinson caught in slips but was a no ball,another snick for 4 through slips and had him caught behind.A great over.

He'll disappear if we win. Don't waste your time.

Thats a rough call... Bolland gets bounce thats going over
Definitely not over. Bottom of the knee roll, not far forward, short man. If anything it's whether it swung enough to hit off.

yep honestly as a bowler you'd be beyond annoyed if it wasn't given, playing a shot maybe you could argue 50/50 though it's probably still out.
 
Prior to DRS the umpires use to just give those all the time, use to shit me to tears.

Still zero sypathy, see the plank of wood in your hand, use it. You don't play a shot, you deserve to be fired out for the decision alone. That was clipping at worst anyway the Konstas one in the first was more harsh
