Shield Round 4: Victoria vs Western Australia, Junction Oval

[Andronicus]

Bancroft has forgotten how to bat.

 

[largebus]

Feel like the bowling attack has been bailing us out all season and the batting hasn't held up its end of the bargain.

 

[Mkcaptain]

A very well batted 50 from Crone.

 

[Cleavy]

lead over 200 now

 

[Tugga27]

With NSW winning and Victoria about to, it makes the ladder tight.

You have o think Tassie will declare overnight now with time lost.

 

[Cleavy]

Bancroft out for 11

Bancroft out for 11

That's a pretty good score for him these days.

How quick is Fergus O'Neill? Averages 20 from 21 FC matches. That's a ridiculously good start to one's career. Can also hold the willow it appears averaging 22 with a fifty. Higher honours ever a possibility?

 

[ioppolo]

Also, is there a reason Agar didn't bowl today?

Junction Oval isn’t big enough?

I think he was described as similar to Chadd Sayers, so not rapid.

On the gun I would say he is late 120s maybe 130 at a nudge .
He does bowl heavy so would feel a bit quicker the face.
He does rush the odd top order bat off the deck from time to time .

I guess the question is whether he is just that yard pedestrian for the next level

 

[eddiesmith]

Xavier having a pretty good game, turned the game yesterday when he came in to bowl and a very handy innings today with the bat.

Injured his left shoulder.

That's a bummer, numbers like that don't come around often even at FC level. Plus pace bowlers is an area Australia has well and truly covered depth wise.

He is a quality bowler at FC level .
I've seen him live a few times ( it's never the same as facing it ) and my gut feel is he will be that yard back to really trouble international players .

Would say he hits the deck harder than Sayers did though .

sayers was in the air fergie more off the seam. stuart broad by the end was bowling roughly the same speed but is a tad taller so O'Neill aim should be to get to 135ish like stuart broad was and you can be very sucessful in the game.


our bowling stocks on paper look strong but i reckon O'Neill would jump the line pretty fast i'd have him 3rd in line atm boland, morris, him

 

[eth-dog]

If we win we go top by 0.11 point ahead of WA

I'd be thinking if we are talking being next in line for test selection that fitness is a major prerequisite.

Which is why he'd be behind

 

[Mkcaptain]

I reckon Goodwin got very lucky there
