Sheffield Shield - NSW vs Victorie

[Red Bear]

NSW need a miracle. Missing lee clark bolling bracken cameron katich clarke haddin jaques. This should be fun.

 

[aussies1st]

Worst possible start with both Hughes and Mail out.

 

[eddiesmith]

Its just not the same with no Bollinger for our batsman to smash around as usual

Poor selection by the Vics already missing 3 of our best bowlers to pick McKay ahead of Wright

 

[aussies1st]

Lol Hauritz opening the bowling.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Disappointing to hear the umpires wouldn't schedule in a 5min break yesterday so everyone could watch the Melb Cup on the big screen.

It is just a f..king race!:lol:

 

[aussies1st]

Cockley starting to become a dud.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

VIC 2/214
Rogers 99*
Hodge 66

 

[eddiesmith]

Stumps Day 2
3/331 Lead by 70 runs
Hussey 59*
McKay 0*

Rogers 159

Initially would have liked them to bat untill Tea tomorrow, lead of 280 and then try and bowl the Blues out but seeing as how flat the pitch is, should get Quiney in early tomorrow and smash around before Lunch and declare then with a lead of 200 or so

 

[aussies1st]

Hauritz looks to have booked himself another Aussie test spot.

 

[lockyno1]

Hauritz the only decent bowler

 

[Red Bear]

Not so much the worst, but definately the least experienced NSW side ive seen

Hughes, Henriques, Smith, Hockley, forrest, the number 4 batsmen whose name i can spell, all less than 15 games played, whilst the guys who have played more are mail(pretty rubbish) Hauritz(ditto) Casson(good bach half of last season, thats about it), lambart who isnt anything much and thornley, decent batsmen but nothing awesome.

Lets hope they can fire tomorrow!

 

[Collingwood Storm]

The Vics are also below full strength, missing 3 bowlers (Harwood, Siddle and McGain) and an all-rounder/captain (White).

most of the NSW players are in India

 

[aussies1st]

NSW are always below strength but more so now and we even are missing our 2 best bowlers not on national duty.

Cockley no longer a dud Hes picked up all 4 wickets today, and given us some hope of saving the match.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Hopefully the Vics can scrap to a lead of 140-150.

Not sure what the pitch is like...NSW cleaned up on Day 1, VIC lose 3 wickets Day 2, VIC lose 5 wickets in less than 90mins Day 3.

 

[Red Bear]

Carn the blues, great morning from Cockley

Hmm maybe we are still in this

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Still 8 down, lead upto 152 now.

 

[aussies1st]

Hauritz gets the break through and Cockley bags the 5 fer. Mail gets a pair and now the pressure builds on him.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

NSW 1/69
