Shield Victoria Vs Western Australia, CitiPower Centre, 11-14th March 2024

[eth-dog]

Soft dismissal Pete

 

[eth-dog]

Frustrating. Wicket seems to have settled now after the first 30-40 minutes. Short and Pez batting well

 

[danielnajdek]

Brain dead batting.

 

[eth-dog]

Damn it Shorty. Dumb shot.

 

[eddiesmith]

What a great batting lineup when the night watchman is the best batsman.

250 looking a long way off, at least we avoided an innings defeat this time.

 

[Tugga27]

Evenly poised at lunch I reckon.

Nah, you're on top. Table situation dictates that we probably need 300+ first innings to put pressure on you guys.

I don't think so.
It's so early in the match, an outright is inevitable.

Assuming the first innings are close.
It will come down to a 1 innings game.

This will flatten out. Our only hope is that Tassie lose so you can go for hosting it.

Disagree.

Eight sessions to go.
There will be an outright I reckon.

lol, Victoria has scored less than half of WAs total and you’re in to the tail…

It would take one almighty big miracle for Victoria to steal this one.

 

[JackOutback]

WA need to wrap this up, not let the tail eat away at the lead, as we have done in the past. An outright is an absolute given.

Ask and you shall receive!

1 to go!

 

[largebus]

When I last looked it was 4/110. What happened?

Those last 20 runs were annoying, but you'd take a 100-run lead every day of the week.

Victoria lost wickets

Stay tuned for more expert analysis

 

[ioppolo]

That really started with Matthew Short. 90 run partnership, all the momentum, mere minutes from lunch....hits the fielder on the boundary.

 

[largebus]

If we win and TAS lose, we host the final.

Doing a good job to throw this away
Time for a decent score Cam

 

[RookiePick]

JFC. We've shit the bed

 

[largebus]

Inglis got one full and it nearly went over Harpers head.

 

[JackOutback]

Yep, we're giving them a big sniff here. Need Inglis and Bancroft to score, I'd want a lead of 300 to be confident.

 

[powerfan07]

Is there a bit in the pitch or just poor batting?

 

[ioppolo]

Is there a bit in the pitch or just poor batting?

Bit of both. Weather is definitely favourable for bowlers today.
