Shield Round 4: Victoria vs Western Australia, Junction Oval

[eth-dog]

Curtis is batting really well here. Very patient. What's his glove work like?

That's a really good catch

There's the extra half an hour before tea

 

[Cleavy]

WA all out 167.

 

[eth-dog]

Now let's bat well. 34 overs after tea, let's not giv them a sniff. Don't want to be 3 or 4 down at stumps.

 

[Cleavy]

under/over on Chandrasinghe's strike being at 35

EDIT: 31.25, so under

 

[eth-dog]

Bugger. Was about to say he was looking good. Needed to just get down the pitch and block it.

 

[RookiePick]

crucial early wicket to Gannon. Pretty good setup for the wicket ball.

If he was at the Horse Sales the auctioneer would say “He’s had his time”

 

[eth-dog]

Would be interested to see where they go next after Paris, he probably shouldn't be going for a 7/8 over spell. Rocc? Maybe Gannon a second spell? Murphy bowled at the other end to Paris

 

[eth-dog]

I've liked how we've still been able to tick it over for a run or two when they've been on top. Only two maidens in their first 16.

 

[eth-dog]

I try not to be upset when the shot is there and it's the players shot but that's a really annoying one.
