Assume they would have clashed with AFL so had to move it to the nearest local park, that's Victoria for you.

Yeah, AFL probably did the draw thinking Victoria wont host a home final

Or they didnt give a shit

 

[Twizzle]

AFL takes priority and they definitely don't give a shit about anyone else

THE FINAL

[TheParraboy]

The Vics toss winners

Elected to field

 

[Fangs]

3-21 rough start for SA.

Carey and McSweeney need to get to lunch.

 

[TheParraboy]

Sangha quack

 

[Fangs]

We gonna have a boring draw?

Vic should have picked Maxy to dictate terms and cut down the first innings lead.

 

[Bazal]

Shame McSweeney Todd couldn't go on with it but man he's a tough little f**ker

 

[TheParraboy]

South Australia
(67 ov) 198 & 227/8

Victoria
261
Day 4 - South Aust lead by 164 runs.

SA were out 7/122
McAndrew just out for 60
Carey 83*

Victoria looking likely for the win, though another 50 runs might make it interesting

 

[TheParraboy]

Carey 100 not out

Great knock

SA 9/244

 

[Marshall_magic]

Carey needed the inning of his life to get SA into a winning position. They’ve got a chance but probably ended up about 50 short of being able to put the Vics under a lot of pressure. Victoria probably get there with 3-4 wickets to spare.

 

[Twizzle]

SA bowled really well yesterday afternoon. Vics with a job to do.

 

[Twizzle]

Vics 8/127, deep in poo

 

[Twizzle]

Scott bowling very well, can bat too

 

[Twizzle]

9/132, lol

enter the Barrell to save the Vics, need about another 60 runs

 

[Twizzle]

SA knock the Vics over, lol

 

[mozza91]

Victorians are no good at everything.
