Sheffield Shield FINAL - Victoria vs Queensland at Junction Oval 13-17 March

[Spike]

This is one of the worst SS finals in recent memory due to the weather. Anyone would think that Melbourne was in New Zealand

Perfect for the host team. Bat first, hope for a washout. Win.

 

[IanG]

Well the same could happen in Tropical Queensland as well

 

[Twizzle]

its all but over

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Sunshine would be the only player out there yesterday who didn't catch a cold.

 

[TheParraboy]

Victoria are deserved winners this year, regardless of the washout here

I dont think they have lost a shield game

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Victoria haven't conceded a point all season, the first team in about 30yrs to do so.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Victoria dominate the one dayers as well but they didn't win that did they?

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Allegedly the worst player in world cricket brought up his 100

Allegedly the worst player in world cricket brought up his 100

Not the worst player in world cricket, just the worst to ever represent Australia.

 

[Red Bear]

there's been plenty of domestic dynamos who have been epic failures for australia. White is near top of the list

Anyway well done victoria, shame the weather has ruined this match but you get that

Watson dropped what, 3 catches?

 

[Collingwood Storm]

As if Watson hasn't had a bad enough game... he just got out on the 7th ball of the over!!!

And it was the QLD umpire who couldn't count.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Who says it will be a draw???

QLD collapsing, VIC will be looking to finish them off quick and then en-force the follow-on.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

QLD 7/161 @ tea

need another 150 to avoid the follow-on

 

[Collingwood Storm]

VIC 510 & 1/82

QLD 200

VIC lead by 392 runs with 1 day remaining

I'd like to see the Vics go the tonk for 10 -12 overs tomorrow morning (maybe even hit a few catches in the direction of Watson) and give themselves 90 overs to bowl QLD out to win outright.

 

[TheParraboy]

somehow I dont think Victoria will declare pre-lunch tomorrow

say 450 off 90 overs, it shouldnt be reached, but it is 540 balls, there is a very small outside chance one or two players could go beserk and give them heart attacks at least, I dont think they will be up for that. Id expect them to get a 500+ run lead before even thinking about declaring

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Well deserved by the Vics, been the standout team by a mile this season.

Sunshine very unlucky not to get player of the final for the Vics.

 

[Twizzle]

congrats to the Vics on their win

best team all year without doubt

Victoria dominate the one dayers as well but they didn't win that did they?

Didnt dominate the one dayers as well, got thrashed by QLD and should have finished 2nd except QLD lost to SA :lol:

Probably lucky they did otherwise the final probably would have ended without a ball being bowled given the weather up there that week
