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?

Curtis standing there hoping for another life from the umpire when he smashes it to slip…

 

[eth-dog]

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

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.

 

[Westend]

yup batting not up too scratch again

Someone call the waaaaahmbulance again.

Agar. Head like a potato. Catches like a potato. FMD

 

[Torz]

I swear Agar drops a lot of easy catches, but then takes ridiculously hard ones.

Been like that since school

 

[eth-dog]

That is a peach. How did that miss off?

 

[eth-dog]

Great day, well on top here. Hopefully bat all day tomorrow and do to WA what NSW have done to SA

Still believe Gannon is a chucker. Good delivery for the wicket though.

Yep. It's a horrid action.

 

[Cleavy]

I hope this isn't our traditional middle order collapse
