Vics vs SA

[Billy Blogger]

Even first day with the Vics 5 for 291. Hussey scored a century and once again White made a good score without going on with it.

Looks like this one is headed for a draw.

Rofe seems to be a bit out of favor at the moment. Would've liked to see him line up too.

Hopefully the captains make some good declarations and spice it up a bit.

Vics all out 438, Wade on debut got 83.

SA in reply 3/56 at tea.

And our woeful batting continues.

How you guys put on so many runs too... Hopeless Redbacks, hopeless.

[Sockeye Salmon]

Redbacks 8/162 at stumps.

Lovely.

[Chops]

Sorry for SA. Losing Matthew Elliot was the best thing that happen to the VICS. Mentally soft.

[GVGjr]

How was the NSW vs WA game. Matthew Nicholson makes 105 to get NSW to 260 odd and then WA get bowled out for 99. NSW are something like 1 for 145 at stumps. This one will be an outright.

Redbacks 8/162 at stumps.

Lovely.

The game will probably be over this afternoon. Very disappointing.

[Mantis]

SA all out 249, Dizzy Gillespie (the proud Doggies supporter) got 49 for the Redbacks.

Vics 0/17 shortly after lunch and have a lead of 206. Will probably consolidate over the next hour and then look for some quick runs (Hussey & White) with the eye to putting SA back in late today for an hour or so.

[Griffen#16]

Thank God for Dizzy. I'm surprised we cracked 200.

[GVGjr]

Chasing a target of 348 the Redbacks are already 3 for 25.

[Griffen#16]

The game is over. At least Dizzy was sent out as night watchmen. We're reliant on another Dizzy Double Ton today to have any chance I think.

The Borgas brothers were hopeless.

[Topdog]

Disgraceful effort by the Redbacks.

[Griffen#16]

SA routed for 77.

Peter Siddle took 3 wickets in his opening over this morning.

Victoria win by 270 runs.

[B]Dizzy top scored in BOTH innings for SA.

Best all-rounder in Australia :D

And our most accomplished batsman. Gee, that was shocking. Are you revoking your tip for SA to do well this year GVGjr? :D

I'll have to. I didn't realise that Boofa wasn't playing but that was a sub standard effort on their own patch.

Yes, with Boof and Tait we'll certainly be a bit stronger, I won't write the season off just yet.

The Vics are off to a great start to the season. I'd like to see White turn those 80's into 100's though. Hussey is still in fine form.

[Chops]

Only playing the worst side in the comp.

[Griffen#16]

At least we were competitive in the one day game.

[dales.girl38]

Harwood was great.
What did everyone think about Blizzard's dismissal? I thought he hit it when I saw it, then I thought he must have been out, but then I thought he'd hit it first again. Looked dodgy at the time, didn't really matter in the end though.

[The Underdog]

Lewis got 1-63. Is he in trouble? There seems to be some pretty good competition for pace spots.

I think he still has a bit to offer, but a couple more performances like this and he may find himself on the outer.

I think on form he would be in trouble but with Siddle limping around there is probably still a spot for him. I would have played McKay instead of Lewis yesterday.
