Sheffield Shield: VIC vs SA

[Collingwood Storm]

Brad Hodge's last first class game at the MCG.

The 2 Pattinson brothers are playing together for the first time. James at 19 looked really impressive last week in the FRC match.

Bryce McGain has also gotten the nod ahead of Holland again. It seems as though at the moment McGain is the Shield spinner and Holland the limited overs spinner. Cullen Bailey has also been called up to the SA squad, not sure of their final XI though.

VIC: Rogers, Jewell, Hodge, Hussey, White, McDonald, Wade, Hastings, J.Pattinson, D.Pattinson, McGain and Mash (12th man).

I was hoping if McGain put in a good effort here he might get the nod ahead of Hauritz in the test match, but its not to be.

I can just imagine what the Pakis will do to Hauritz in the boxing day test match.

The Pakistan batsmen are so inconsistent. I can only see the Akmal's taking apart Hauritz.
Will be good to see James in action today.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Cullen Bailey is 12th man for SA.

VIC sent SA in to bat.

SA 0/45

 

[aussies1st]

Dam SA, they are stuffing up Bailey. Nice to see James Smith back in the runs, he fell away a bit lately. Hastings with the only wicket.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

SA 2/128 early tea due to rain.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

SA 3/311

Cosgrove made a ton and Klinger is currently in the 90s.

McGain seems to have struggled this game, I reckon he will be replaced by Holland for the next Shield game.

The only one who struggled was your moronic skipper who sent SA in!

 

[aussies1st]

Didn't someone want McGain called up for Australia?
Cosgrove is killing it, won't be too long before hes back in the Aussie picture. And his bowling is useful.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Geez, the minute I question McGain he goes and picks up wickets in consecutive overs.

Won't be long before Cossie eats all the pies as well:lol:

Big Merv won't be pleased!

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Cameron White finally bowled himself 17 overs 1/70

Rogers out right on stumps

He likes to win games, not play 500 v 500 draws and the best way to win they feel is to chase and chase they will needing 360 runs tomorrow with 10 wickets in hand

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Should be a good days cricket tomorrow.

Victoria need 366 more runs off 106 overs, could be another close one like TAS and WA.

 

[eddiesmith]

Be good to see a team actually chase a target for a change

QLD refused to chase 329 from 88 or so over overs, Australia refused to chase 320 from 81 overs and yet some are complaining that SA was too generous in their declaration
