Shield Round 8: Victoria vs South Australia

[Voice of the G]

That is pretty adjacent

Pretty good effort by the Victorian bowlers to get their team back in the game but a pretty lively wicket.Harris gets runs here and much to 1 BF poster might be on his way to India.

 

[Nathan Barley]

The standard of batting in this game is very concerning

Oh that's a soda

Oh that's a soda

So who was dropped.

 

[2notepockets]

Should've been 2/1 shocking drop by the sween, potentially match costing if Harris gets a score now

The pitch is clearly difficult for batting not coming on and jagging even with the older ball

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Spicy pitch giving us a 2 day shield match potentially.

So who was dropped.

Harris on 0

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Hopefully SA can get within say 25 runs. Lehmann is more than capable despite his detractors.

His 8 today was brilliant.

 

[Nathan Barley]

His 8 today was brilliant.

The top score was 23. Not like he was the only bat to fail

 

[Westend]

Maxi hurts his hand quick get Voice to strap it !!

nah just kidding hope he is okay and gets a chance to score big in this 2nd dig

 

[Aussie_boy]

McAndrew at 9 was criminal. Potentially cost us 20-30 handy runs. He’s probably got as much of a case to bat 6 as Manenti.

What's going on with the pitch ? Usually the Junction oval is very batsman friendly ?

It's more used. It's got plenty of cracks and is nagging around.

They brought Luke Parker in as guest curator

 

[cats_09]

Scans done and Maxi is back

Well it did help get Luke Parker,s favourite player Marcus Harris out.

 

[2notepockets]

Kellaway dropped by the Sween low right hand at 3rd slip

 

[Voice of the G]

Being there yesterday really impressed with Matt Short,s batting and started well again today.

 

[2notepockets]

Short dropped at point

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Vics 1-4 : 24 runs @ 22 strike rate.
Matt Short 26 runs @ 124

 

[eth-dog]

Not sure about a short ball strategy for Short. Agar is the only one quick enough to do it IMO.

You have to be a Redbacks follower to understand. The man has had far more chances over the years than he deserves, he regularly delivers nothing, and every now and then he'll get a 50 which keeps him in the team for the rest of the season.

McAndrew goes from 0/2 off 3 to 0/18 off 5.

I am and I do but others have had chances and not taken them.

He averages 34. A couple of good seasons propping that up but I'm not sure there are others who could do more

 

[Art Vandelay_]

McAndrew goes from 0/2 off 3 to 0/18 off 5.

Happens to the best of us.
0/8 off 6 to 0/30 off 9 on Saturday.
