SA V VI SHIELD GAME

[tedbullpit]

Cullen 0/102 off 28. Cullen has got to go. He's had a few years now to show he's got what it takes at this level and he doesn't. They've persisted long enough.

[locky801]

Declaration made''

6/473


2 wickets to Tait and 3 to Rofe, now lets see how good a batting pitch this one is

[Dirko]

Off to a flyer....6 runs after 4 overs....

[locky801]

Very slow but solid start by the Backreds

0/25 off of 13 overs

[tedbullpit]

Harris 3 off 40 balls!!

[LBT]

Harris 3 off 40 balls!!

Thats Katichesque!!
At least we won't get bowled out for 26 again.... until the second innings :oops:

[locky801]

S.A at tea

0/31 off 18 0vers

Harris now 5 off of 59 balls

Plant 19 off 56 balls

Thank the Vics for 7 noballs

[westcoastpanther]

Harris 3 off 40 balls!!

Placing undue pressure on Plant who is probably also batting for his career.....

[locky801]

Our 2nd 11 are motoring along however at

2/344 at tea

JD SMITH 152*

COSGROVE 41*

Cooper made 55 and Delmont 80

thats off of 84 overs as well

[tedbullpit]

STOP THE PRESSES!!!

Harris hits a boundary and races to 10 off just 69 balls.

SA 0/40 after 22

[RoosterMarty]

I know they are just trying to survive but geeeeeeez how slow do they wanna bat? That is just putting extra pressure on themselves! If they scored a few runs it will help them a lot more.

I don't think I will be heading to the ground when I finish work at 4.

The Aussies better put on a more exciting show tonight!

[locky801]

in a more exciting game the 2nd 11 Cossie gone for 57

S.A. 2nd 11 3/365

JD SMITH 157*

[RoosterMarty]

A double ton for Jack Smith would be nice! Pity Cosgrove is out but at least he made a few runs.

Needs to go on and make tons though.

Fair go RM, we could be 4/20 which hasn't been unusual in the past. The lads would be under extreme pressure to make a start and get some runs early to hold a spot. The cricket site said they had 3 slips, 2 gullies and a leg slip.

Dig in boys I say, better than a collapse....

[locky801]

Have safely moved past 50

SA 0/52

Plant 26*

Harris 18*


strangely enough the 2nd 11 have declared at 3/368

SMITH 159*

[locky801]

Harris gone for 18

S.A. 1/53

[MightyEagles]

Very slow but solid start by the Backreds

0/25 off of 13 overs

Victoria started slowly as well.

[locky801]

Getting ridiculous only 4 scoring shots in the last 5 overs

S.A. 1/65 off 32 overs

[locky801]

Still very very slow but S.A. now

1/79


PLANT 32* from 115

KLINGER 18* from 39

may be slow but at least they are putting some pride on their wickets
