Unfortunately for us Tassie people, the second innings has let Victoria back in. Tas need something like another 150 runs and are already 4 wickets down.

Went and watched two sessions today; tough conditions to bat. Ball was hooping and was pretty overcast all day. Same tomorrow I think. Fekete bowled really well.

One thing Victoria does very well in recent years is fight games out.

Vics need 378 in the fourth innings to win.

Could have been less after having Tassie 6/87 at one stage, but the number 8 Rogers made 80 in a total of 215.

All over, 156 run loss.

Really need a few batsman and a wicketkeeper to stick their hand up next year. We never really got going through all the chopping and changing.

Very happy with the result. Tom Rogers batting at 8 has had a great first season for Tassie.

Congrats BJ. Hope Tassie wins the Shield.


Isn't long form cricket a great game? You blokes monster us for just a bit short of three days then you have a bad couple of hours and we almost punched it. I wonder when you are making a fourth innings run chase like that how much residual effect of the previous three days bad performance lingers? There must be times that you stop and think "I can't believe we are still in this" and it has to impact on your performance. Anyway, that's what I reckon.
