Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 8/490. White 120* McKay 35* Symonds 3/48, Laughlin 2/96, Hopes 2/110.
Guest Hiten. Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Damn. What's with the wagging tails all around the world ? :hmmm:
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 All out 510. White 135, McKay 39*. Symonds 4/48, Hopes 3/119.
Mr. Wicket Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Damn. What's with the wagging tails all around the world ? :hmmm: White's not a tailender. He's a solid bat. And when Symonds and Hopes are your frontline bowlers, I can't imagine why tailenders wouldn't be fancying their odds for a few runs.
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Clinton McKay is a tailender but averaged 31.37 for the season. Batted #10 here because Nannes was used as a nightwatchman. Q'land: 0/22.
Mr. Wicket Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The QLD batting lineup definitely looks a lot weaker than Vic's here. Either Watson or Love really needs to produce a massive knock if they're going to make parity.
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Batting practice for the Bulls. Martin Love's 10,000 runs is about the only point of interest. He needs 3 more. At lunch: 0/30. Broad 20* Love 10*
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 A good boundary stroke from Love brings up his 10,000th. run in Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup. Overall, in first class, he has over 16,800 runs. His other matches were for Australia (5 Tests), Australia A, Durhan in County Cricket and against touring teams for Queensland.
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Broad out to Stickers Harwood for 27. 1/66. Love 37*.
Mr. Wicket Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 110/4 Watson caught behind for 13, Carseldine bowled for 12 an over later. Symonds and Hartley in, and if Chris Hartley is batting at 6 then that's one hell of a long tail.
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Hopes was down to bat at 6 but is probably a bit sore from his bowling stint. Symmo gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnn McKay has 2/13. Q: 5/117. Hopes in.
Mr. Wicket Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 161/7 at tea. McKay removed Hopes for 25 a couple of overs before the break.
Chandan Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Wow!! This match is turning into something interesting. Can the Vics pluck an outright victory out of nowhere? What happens in case of a draw? It seems that Vics are already the Shield winners this year and that too after the absence of their star players, Siddle and McGain. You must be happy as a Vics fan, Donny?
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Certainly am, mate. :regular_smile: Not only are they thumping Queensland in this final but are the only team in the history of the comp. to have not conceded a single point to opposition teams, throughout the season. Wickets to White and Nannes see the Bulls at 9/194.
Donny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Wow!! This match is turning into something interesting. Can the Vics pluck an outright victory out of nowhere? What happens in case of a draw? Because Victoria finished on top after the 10 qualiying matches, it earned a home final. For the visitors to take the Shield, they must win outright. A draw means the minor premiers become the Shield winners. Nannes takes the last wicket. All out 200. :regular_smile:
