as long as Warner can work on his shot selection in this form of the game

he had the talent, just needs to think differently in this form of the game

on the other hand, the Vics bowlers probably deserve some credit for their bowling yesterday

Why can't Warner just play his natural game like Sehwag and Gilchrist did???

dont know, ask him

he's done nothing in the longer version yet he's been given opportunities

maybe the middle order isn't for him, he like fast bowling, the ball coming onto the bat, just as Tait

Jaques and Warner would be a good opening pair for NSW.

Warner can play his natural game like Sehwag as beads said.

Jaques is the type of player who is happy to play 2nd fiddle and is solid enough that Warner doesn't have to worry about what he's doing.

Hughes seems to have lost his mojo and reports in sydney papers today say he is close to being dropped.

Warner seems to be confused between playing his natural game and trying to stay in. Hes been changed since his ODI debut, a bit like what's happening to Hughes atm.

Wouldn't surprise me, I cant see Hughes getting another game for Australia on current form.

if Hughes gets dropped the blames is totally on the Australian selectors IMO. Joke the poor bloke has had his confidence shattered by thos pack of clowns. Hughes will be back better then ever next season you can bet on it.

Rain looks to be helping us out, if we lose with so much play taken out then good dam we are screwed. Would like to see how our bowlers go.

HAs to be the least experienced bowling attack in FC cricket (despite the obvious talent). before this one 23 games between Hazlewood, Copeland, Starc, O'Keefe (who is pretty average) and Smith.

Carn you blues.

Victoria 74/2 (19.0 ov)

not a batting wicket, all bowlers doing well except for Hazlewood who's getting toweled

Cant believe they took the light, unbelievable, just 12 runs away from 1st innings points and still 6 wickets in hand

Victoria's bowlers aren't that much better than ours but they have made it look like they are miles better.

Chris Rogers hasn't batted yet. Apparently he was in hospital with a virus on Friday night and is a chance to bat tomorrow.

Mash had to open and Finch got put up to #3.

McDonald and Wade are not out. Hopefully Victoria can bat until tea and get a lead of 200+ and go for the innings win.

Apparently S Smith bowled very well for his 4 overs, landed everything which is nice to hear. Copeland also good but Hazlewood off and Starc way off. Starc seems at this early stage Very Johnsonish in his approach and performances.

Copeland just picked up Wade for 53. It was a nothing shot just working it off his pads straight to square leg.

Hastings has come in, still no Rogers.

Can never finish a team off, they are 9/404 in a 41 partnership with rogers 70* off not many.

Copeland has 3, 2 each for Starc and Hazlewood and one for smith with a run out as well.
