Vics sent in are 4/61

White 11*
McDonald 1*

Hodge 5

Noffke 3/19

[Mantis]

Qld 5/142 in reply to 113

Nye 27*
Noffke 17*

This season in Pura Cup games Noffke has 306 runs at 76.5 with 19 wickets at 20.3 - Great stats.

[Dogs 24/7]

Noffke made 82 with the bat after his 6 wickets in the first innings.

He currently has taken the 2nd most wickets in the competition and is sitting fourth with the batting for most runs.

There is not much more that this guy can do.

[Sockeye Salmon]

Bichel and Noffke are both injured and can't bowl. Noffke has a hammie and Bichel a broken finger. If they have to bat they will be severely restricted. Vics might be a chance yet.

2/191
Jewell 92
Hodge 66

Don't forget one of the wickets was the nightwatchman, Denton. Hussey, White, McDonald and Wade are all still in the shed.

Vics still trail by 37

[Sockeye Salmon]

100 to Jewell

2/209 - trail by 19

[Mantis]

Ryan Broad also has a side strain so he can't bowl either.

Ryan Broad also has a side strain so he can't bowl either.

And hopefully can't bat.

100 to Hodge

2/246 lead by 18
Hodge 102
Jewell 110

[Dogs 24/7]

Jewell 162no (lucky cricketer who has had plenty of chances)
Hodge 162no (bullying the depleted attack)
Vics 2 for 364

[Sockeye Salmon]

Vics get through the entire day without losing a wicket.

2/426

Jewell 182
Hodge 202

Lead by 198

Depleted attack or not, you've still got to keep your head and keep making runs.

If the three injured Qlders can't bat Vic would have to be looking like winners. Perren and Maher the key wickets.

[Mantis]

Quick runs required tomorrow morning. We would like to have at least 75 or 80 overs at the QLD'ers. A quick 120 off 15 overs would be fantastic and with Hussey and White to come it is a real possibility.

Tough break for the Queenslanders but they are still in the box seat to win on the first innings. Great batting today but against a depleted attach and the heat they would have worn them down quickly.

[The Underdog]

Vics 5/581 dec
Hodge 286 no

Queensland 1/0 after first over.

Watson made a pair. Out off Denton on the 4th ball of both innings

[The Coon Dog]

Great knock by Hodge.

[The Underdog]

Qld 2/9

Perren also out for a duck

[Topdog]

2-9 at lunch. Perren made a duck aswell. Great chance for the Bushrangers for an unlikely victory.

[Topdog]

Over 5.6: OUT!! Maher gone after Lunch, fending McKay straight to Hussey at 2nd slip. The Bulls in real trouble, 3/10 chasing 354 as Simpson makes his way to the middle.

[Topdog]

Over 7.6: OUT!! Another one gone, Simpson cutting McKay and gets an edge that flies to the left shoulder of White at 1st slip who holds a good catch. QLD 4/14, new batsman is Hartley


Vics should have no trouble winning now.

[Mantis]

What a massive turnaround.

As they keep telling me, Cricket is a funny game...

[Topdog]

Over 24.4: OUT!! Noffke gone, clean bowled by a ball from Denton that's kept low. It was pitched rather short and took the offstump about half way up, possibly an inside edge as well, hard to say from here. QLD 7/60 with Swan making his way to the middle.


Close to being game over

Is it on TV or something?

[Raw Toast]

Game over, QLD all out for 77 (with Bichel unable to bat). After leading by 228 after the first innings QLD lost by 276, that's an incredible turn-around even given their injuries.

[The Coon Dog]

Qld all out for 77!!!!!!!!!!

[Mantis]

Great win..

What would the odds have been pre-game that 3 QLD'ers get injured and one of them wasn't Watson... Great to see the human robot score a pair.

It was a fantastic comeback even against a depleted opposition. It must be one of the greatest comebacks in state cricket.
I'm not sure the crack at Watson is warranted though.

I'm not sure the crack at Watson is warranted though.

Why, the bloke is seriously over-rated and I don't see the infatuation with him. I also enjoy teeing off on blokes I don't like.

Has to have slept with one of the hierarchy

On paper, and in theory he could be a really good player but hasn't really consistently demonstrated it

Consistently?

I'd say he's never demonstrated it at all.
