Stumps 3/322 hard for the vics to lose this even if it's only the first day . I imagine we will just bat as long as we can.

This is why five day cricket is so exciting.

Back to back to back champs

We've been pretty well looked after as supporters. Vics with a threepeat in the shield, Footscray with 2 of the last 3 VFL premierships (should have been 3) the doggies winning a flag and even Footscray winning a district premiership.

Does anyone know how the point system with Shield cricket works? How can Victoria have as many batting and bowling points as teams that have won 3 games when Victoria only has 1?

Re: 2016/17 Shield Cricket

Sheffield Shield points system
Outright win: 6 points (no change)

Draw: 1 point (previously 0)

1st innings win: 0 points (previously 2)

Bonus batting

First 100 overs: .01 for every run above 200

Example: 350 runs in the first 100 overs = 1.5 points. Batting points are uncapped until 100 overs

Bonus bowling

First 100 overs: 0.5 points awarded at fall of fifth wicket, seventh wicket and ninth wicket

Example: 8 wickets in first 100 overs = 1 point. Bowling points capped at 1.5

After first 100 overs, no further bonus points available to either team

Thanks Axey. Mate, talk about a complicated system. Cricket used to be pretty simple and straightforward-and that was the whole point of the game, it's simplicity. You got points if you led on the first innings (and that was usually the contest) and you got a shedload of points if you won outright. Win enough games outright and you host the final. You host the final and you pretty much win the Shield.
