State Victoria - The Mighty Bushrangers

[_DBF_]

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.

and Joe Clarke.

More ovethrows, lol. Loving Krishnamurti's innings. Happy to claim him as one of ours. Great name too!

 

[Bedi]

Tahir is still a flog.
A wicket against a state team 4th XI pal. Calm down.

Agreed, he’s a flog.

 

[eltrain]

Has been some horrendous cricket in this game

 

[Cleavy]

Clown show, getting run out on a free hit

 

[Cleavy]

I feel that most of our boundaries have been in the V behind the keeper

 

[eltrain]

Commentators keep referring to the team as “Cricket Victoria” lol

 

[Cleavy]

Terrible shot. Not enough batsmen scoring at strike rate over 100 today. That’s been the difference

 

[Cleavy]

19 off 14 required. Taking it to the end

 

[Cleavy]

Big 6. 13 off 11 now

 

[Bedi]

good running

 

[eltrain]

Never thought I’d see the day when a bloke from the Bronx hit a match winning knock for Victoria against Guyana

 

[Cleavy]

6 needed off the last over.

 

[Cleavy]

4! 2 off 5 now

 

[Cleavy]

Wide! 1 off 5 balls required

 

[Bedi]

Never thought I’d see the day when a bloke from the Bronx hit a match winning knock for Victoria against Guyana

and in South America of all places

 

[cats_09]

Woohoo

Go Victoria

 

[Cleavy]

We won!

 

[Bedi]

we stuck it right up em

Victoria being proudly represented on the world stage. Its as Victorian as a team you could get

Blake MacDonald- Born In Canberra
Joe Clarke- England
Krishnamurthi- USA
Wells- Born in Tasmania
Anderson- Kiwi/American dual citizen
Scott Edwards- represents Netherlands national team
Karima Gore- USA
Dominic Drakes- West Indies
Callum Stow- Australian
Jackson Smith- ???? not sure
Birthisel-??? not sure


Im assuming the last 3 are Australians.

 

[eltrain]

Throwing a bunch of guys together from all over the world who have never played together before is probably a is a recipe for mix ups when running between wickets

 

[NYRB]

They should call the Victorian team in this tournament the ' World XI' or something like that.

They are throwing the 'Victoria' name loosely . Heck, they could have had a name a team competition and no one would have raised an eyebrow. eg call them Beijing Buckets, Cairo Caterpillars, Fremantle Frogs. Or if you wanted to go down the state route, Texas Tigers, Florida Fryers.
