Shield Round 7: Victoria vs Queensland, MCG, 9th-12th Feb

[Sphynx]

Not convinced on Ferg yet honestly. Should be a good FC level player but maybe not test level

Yeah, his bowling is sort of Watson-esque.

Reminds me a bit of James Hopes.

If he can get his batting up to ~40 (in line with his grade cricket numbers) rather than ~30 he may have a bigger future than what Hopes did outside of just white ball cricket when required.

Should have taken that Harps.

Thought Chandrasinghe caught it but the frame by frame shot said differently

 

[eth-dog]

It's a good tail for Queensland but we should be able to run through them now.

 

[eth-dog]

Huge wicket there. If we get Neser we can run through them

What is the follow on in shield cricket although if Vict got the chance to force the follow on I doubt that they would enforce it.

150. Won't get it now.

Shaun Craig having a mare this game

 

[eth-dog]

Is Guthrie any good with the bat? Torz Carbine Chaos? His record isn't flattering

 

[eth-dog]

18 overs left in the day. Feel like Neser will be the danger man here. Need to get through no more than 1 or 2 down

 

[eth-dog]

Pretty obvious that Puck and Maxi take the spots of Dean and Short.

 

[Cleavy]

Harris out for a duck

 

[eth-dog]

Chandy the key wicket here

 

[eth-dog]

Two types of leaves...

I got hammered for saying this before, but he really has to rotate the strike more.

You weren't hammered. Everyone thinks that. It's something to work on. What he did tonight was fine apart from a poor leave. Plenty of time left and if we make 200 in this innings it's virtually over.

I did get hammered because it was his first match I think.

What he did tonight wasn't fine.
3 of 43 balls shows a lack of intent IMO.

Yes it was. If he had blocked that and ended up on 3 off 55 or whatever nobody would have cared. He made one mistake tonight.

My point is, his mindset was just not to get out.
That eventually got him out.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Ash is finding his way. Needs to find a way to turn the strike over. Confident he will.

 

[Santana]

Perry having a swing

 

[eth-dog]

Anything over 250 will be a tough chase looking at the way the deck has gone past few days. 300+ and we win for me.

Short needs runs today.

 

[Drunkcat]

Perry has done a couple of good jobs as nightwatchman.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Perry and Short in a handy partnership, 300 lead looking likely now.

Yep he's only 21. Good to see some young guys pop up with good innings this year. Chandrasinghe, Wylie, Ward, Hunt.
Kellaway's had a tough run of it unfortunately.

Kellaway has been fine.

Vics closing in on victory. Neser and Bartlett can hang around, but plenty of time left in the day to close out the tail.
