State Victoria - The Mighty Bushrangers

[western royboy]

Going to be an embarrassment on the world stage playing what is probably our 4th XI or 5th XI

I think you are being generous - this is a shambles attaching the Victorian Cricket name to this

This is not the world stage surely?

 

[magpiemaniac44]

This is not the world stage surely?

Teams from all over the world playing in a T20 tournament would be surely?

Despite the fact there is no qualification tournament and random teams have been invited

 

[eth-dog]

This is not the world stage surely?

Nah. I doubt anyone outside of diehards will know it's happening

 

[ioppolo]

Yeah let's be honest, 50 people with their extended families is probably the best attendance this 'tournament' will get.

 

[Cleavy]

so sportswashing/tourism according to previous article in the thread. take your pick

Sheffield shield leading wicket taker.
One Day Cup leading wicket taker.

Sam Elliott. Nice improvement from the lad.

 

[eth-dog]

Probably want Queensland to win on Tuesday, would knock Tassie out effectively. Destiny is in our own hands in both formats, win out and we make the final in One Day.

Who is Jackson Smith?
Edit: to answer my own question

I've actually heard of 4 of our players this match.

Jon Wells is a Aus cricket journeyman.
Corey Anderson from his time with NZ.
Scott Edwards plays for Netherlands and also played in my local Geelong turf league before that.
Callum Stow represents Geelong C.C.

But shows how we internally rate this "Victoria" team.

The Vics with the iconic logo on the caps.
Our boys today with the Cricket Victoria logo.

At least him Callum Stow and Max Birthisel are affiliated with Victoria. But still just needed one recognisable Vic for this, so they should've sent Siddle

Scott Edwards would have some tales to tell

 

[Bedi]

Went miles in the air so not surprised he dropped that

 

[Bedi]

Ha that was an interesting catch by Smith, two regulation. drops in a row would've been a bit much. But now third ump is saying not out. Like Starcs in England. Absolute comedy of errors!

 

[Bedi]

Least David Hussey is there as a presence. But this has been a deplorable effort in the field

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not doing too bad tbh.

 

[Cleavy]

Chasing 163 to win. Don’t expect us to get there, but hopefully we’re competitive

it's actually quite enjoyable. It's a pretty interesting side! Looking into it a bit further and seeing Cricket Victoria's affiliation with San Franicsco Unicorns it all makes slightly more sense – so i'm all in.

 

[Aussie_boy]

There's actually people in the crowd. On that alone it beats half the other global T20 leagues. Just such a bizarre thing though.

Well the home team is playing, so no surprise

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Odd. I don't like T20 all that much, detest BBL.
But I am watching as I love the Big V.

 

[eltrain]

Love seeing the big v back on the international stage, even if the XI is a bit odd!

 

[ioppolo]

Fair play, this isn't going as pear shaped as I thought it might.

 

[Aussie_boy]

How does Imran Tahir still play? The South African Brad Hogg

 

[Bedi]

a certain run out to 5 bonus runs lol!
